RPS vs. Slinky thoughts

[spychocyco]

I've always run Super Slinkys on pretty much every guitar that I have, but after a week or so of playing my new Axis SS, I'm liking the feel of the strings on it. I'm pretty sure they're the stock RPS. It's a slightly beefier feel, but still as flexible as I like them. I'm thinking about stringing up my other Axis with RPS just to see if I feel the same difference there.

Anyone got thoughts or a preference between the two? Just curious.

RPS strings are the same as standard slinkys. The only difference is that the RPS plain strings have reinforcing windings around the ball end (RPS = Reinforced Plain Strings). Any differences you feel are just how that guitar feels compared to your others.

Ah. Makes sense. The setup is quite different from what I'm used to.

I always use RPS strings for reliability when gigging, broke too many regular Slinkys. The RPS strings are rock solid.

The coated slinkys last even longer, are also reinforced (with titanium wire) and sound and feel virtually identical to standard slinkys/RPS.
