## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the plain strings also nickel-plated? I'm guessing they are tin-plated like their other strings but wish they would say in the description.**
A: Hello there, these are made from nickel plated steel wire wrapped around tin plated hex shaped steel core wire. The plain strings feature a patented winding of brass wire. Hope this helps

**Q: Are ernie ball rps for electric guitar flat strings?**
A: No they are not flat wound strings, they are roundwound, and the planes drinks are reinforced at the ball end. Which is why the air called RPS, reinforced plain strings. Hope this helps.

**Q: What does the"P" stand for in the 18p?**
A: Stands for plain. 11-14-18 are plain. 28-38-48 are wound.

**Q: When it says' Regular" That just means not coated right? Are they are for an electric guitar?**
A: Sorry but all your answers are wrong They are brass wound at the ball, the INNER CORE IS HIGH-STRESS STEEL yes.. HOWEVER, THE WINDINGS (outer wound coil of metal) is nickel coated steel same as in the nickel super slinkies. So yes the inner is steel but it's not low stressed or strength carbon its the high strength/stressed steel and there is a huge difference in stability and playability in longevity between ... low stress or LOW-grade carbon steel rusts easily and is soft, it breaks hi strength carbon steel is much stronger, will not rust like low-grade carbon steel at all. It's a whole different animal. its tempered in ways low carbon is not.
