Harley Benton Coated Electric Guitar 009 Reviews

First impression is pretty good, we shall see if they last as long as coated strings from another brands that starts with E. Extra points for nice packaging, all strings come in their own wrapper with gauges clearly marked, makes things easier and doesn't feel like a 'budget' product at all.

Wow

I bought these to try, since they were part of a guitar order, delivery was free. Not sure why I didn't expect much from these, but I have been using daddario XL and NYXLs for a few years. Don't get me wrong, the XL and NYXL are excellent strings, but I will now do some bulk ordering of these next time I make a purchase that will allow free shipping. Very very nice strings and they last really well. Cost prohibitive for me in the UK to just buy a few packets, but a bargain if part of a bigger order.

not bad at all

for the price they're pretty damn good

Excellent strings for affordable price !

The sound of this string set is very nice and warm. I recommend !

Good

They take a while to settle after you have put them on your guitar. But after some stretching and retuning, they will stay in tune pretty well. Good strings for this price.

Good Value Strings

Great at this price-point, if you sweat and change strings regularly, these are a nice option.

Very Impressive for the Price

Coated strings are usually twice the price of normal strings, so when I saw these I wasn't expecting much. I thought I'd give them a try, though. If they weren't any good I'd lost next to nothing.

As it turns out, these are actually very good strings and the coating does give them a significantly increased life span. Don't get me wrong, these are no Elixirs, but they're less than half the price, perform really well and sound bright and clear. I will be buying more.

Seemed great at first....

I've bought these and a set of 10's to try out.

I loved the packaging, but that's about it.

Tried them on a Fender Telecaster, I played a chord and you barely could hear 1st & 2nd string. Feeling was okay, but some of the strings lasted only 3 days. They snap so easily.. They're are not even reliable to be used as a spare string in the middle of the show. Shame....

Great for the price.

Great value strings for much less than branded strings, decent sound, I can't attest to durability yet, but the string look and feel well made.

Save money - try these….

These string do everything i need them to do.

Reheasal in our amateur band, playing a bunch of gigs for a dancing, not listening and analyzing audience - they do the job absolutely ok.

If i was a Cory Wong or some other guitar hero with an incredible clean sound these would probably not be my choice.

But for me they fit both my needs and my wallet….

very good!

for this price the quality is insanely good!

Works perfectly for recording

Great!

Feel nice, last long, don't rust. The only downside is the fact that you don't get that really bright punchy tone of other new strings.

Good!

HB make some sense!

A great set of strings

I am a person with very sweaty hands, so coated strings are a must for me. Not coated ones last me a week and are completely black in a month. I have been using Elixirs for many years, but i was looking for a budget option and honestly, these are fine. They are not as good as Elixirs but they last me 3 months without any corrosion. They feel fine to play, a bit more smooth than standart non coated ones, but not as smooth as Elixirs.

To cut it short : 75% performance of Elixirs for 30% of the price

Super affordable, reliable, great bang for buck

I use these strings for my entry level electric guitars. I have been using high-end, expensive branded guitar strings for my 'Better' guitars over the last decade. So, naturally I was a bit skeptic before trying these string, but I am glad that I did. Though its tonal freshness(!) decreases after a couple of heavy sessions like literally every other string (thanks to physics, DUH!), I would say that, for its price point, it is outstanding!

If you have never tried it, please give it a shot and you would understand what I mean! Best Wishes.

They sound great

I was using Elixirs up until now, but these HB strings are cheaper and sound great. They seem to last as long as Elixirs too

Very fine

they feel great, sound nice, last pretty long, but just like any other set of strings lose their brightness overtime, this one seems to last pretty long

Amazing for the price!

These strings feel good, sound good when you put them on, keep sounding good for a long time and are ludicrously cheap compared to branded coated strings.

I got one set when I made an order to try them. (Mitigates the shipping cost). The next order included a dozen sets, I liked them that much!!

Bottom line, you won't regret buying these!!

Cool sounding strings

I fitted these to a Strat type guitar and they are really nice. They dont sound thin and clicky like Elixor, but have a nice tone albeit slightly thinner than a conventional string.

nice sound , cool prize

stays in tune
