Ernie Ball 2242 RPS Power

Sean N. 12.04.2015

I started playing in a band again last year after many years only playing acoustic guitar and found I was breaking strings on my Fender Telecaster and was very hard to control the strings as they were so light.
Last week I bought these Ernie Ball 2242 RPS Power strings and immediately the feel, control and sound improved dramatically and I haven't broken a string yet.
Top markers for these lovely strings!!!

I spent my life buying D'Addario Strings, until you reach Ernie Ball, and when I got can be assured D'Addario was forgotten, Strings many tough and you will gain a few more weeks of use.

Good strings

Good strings, but now I only use Thomastik Jazz, because they feel and sound much better for me.

Always favored Ernie Ball strings and these feel like a worthy upgrade to ‘regular’ power slinkys. Recommended.
