Description
Anyone who swaps strings often knows the plain high strings are the first to snap, usually right where they wrap around the ball end. Ernie Ball built the RPS line specifically to fight that weak point, adding reinforcement at the ball end so this .009 gauge string holds up to aggressive picking, heavy bends, and everyday tuning without giving out early.
This listing is for a single .009 RPS plain string (item 1029) — perfect for topping off a custom gauge set, replacing a string you popped mid-set, or just keeping a spare in your gig bag so you’re never caught without one. It’s the same bright, snappy tone you expect from a fresh plain string, just built to last longer under tension.
- Gauge: .009
- Reinforced ball end for extra breakage resistance
- Sold individually — ideal for spot replacements or custom sets
- Bright, articulate plain string tone
If you’re the type who feels the difference the moment a string goes dead or dull, having a stash of these on hand means you’re always one restring away from that crisp, new-string feel. Grab a few extras — they’re small, cheap, and exactly the kind of thing you don’t want to run out of before a show.
