SUB-1 guitar: RPS-9 Slinkys (9-42) catalog #2239
A couple of notes:
1. The BFR series use the same strings as their original namesake models.
2. Though we use and recommend RPS strings, standard Ernie Ball Slinkys are a worthy substitute.
3. The strings are the same whether the guitar is equipped with a tremolo or not.
