Valuestrings WE 12-53 : Really good cheap acoustic strings

10 years ago

Much like their electric brethren (Harley Benton Valuestrings 009) I've purchased and used quite a few sets of these on a variety of acoustic guitars and they do the job nicely. In fact, the only downside of these acoustic strings for me is that they don't come in anything lighter than 12s, but hey, that's hardly the end of the world.

Fresh out of their packaging, they stay a bit curly, but soon straighten out once brought up to tension. Quite bright with a nice bottom end, they keep their clarity quite well (better than most sets of Martin strings that I've used) and despite some abuse from a variety of players at open mic nights, I'm yet to witness any snap under playing conditions.

In a nutshell, really good acoustic strings for a really good price.
