Ernie Ball 2237 RPS Skinny Top Heavy Bottom

Ernie Ball 2237 RPS Slinky Skinny Top Heavy Bottom 10-52 – Effortless bends with a powerful low end

Ernie Ball RPS Slinky Skinny Top Heavy Bottom combines the familiar feel of a traditional 10-gauge set on the treble strings with a significantly heavier bass section. The result is a set that delivers easy bends and comfortable lead playing while providing a fuller low end with greater definition for riffs, drop tunings and modern rock styles. Thanks to Ernie Ball's patented RPS (Reinforced Plain Strings) construction, the risk of breakage at the ball end is reduced while tuning stability is improved.

The wound strings are made from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core, while the plain strings are manufactured from specially tempered tin-plated carbon steel. This combination delivers a balanced tone that works equally well for rock, blues, metal and a wide range of other musical styles.
