Harley Benton Coated Electric Guitar 009 4-stars 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.

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.

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 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

good for the price

sometimes you need some strings that do a really good job for not too much money. Voila, the HB coated strings. In feel they take a little getting used to (I normally use Ernie Ball or D'addario), but I found myself with a small bit of account credit, and a few guitars needing re-stringing, and took the plunge,

happily buy again

Better than they first seem

I thought I would try these because they are coated strings for the price of uncoated.

I was a bit disappointed to start with, they are noticeably less bright than uncoated strings - with Elixirs I struggle to hear the difference (with my gear and my old ears). The worst thing was they feel odd, a little rough to the touch when sliding up and down the fretboard. I nearly took them off again.

Due to circumstances (I couldn't be arsed to change them) I persisted and found that, once worn in, they develop a really good feel - as good as Elixirs. I've continued to use them and they are lasting really well. I did have a high E string break on one set but that was due to unusually rough treatment (by my standards).

If you are prepared to spend a little time running them in and don't want the very brightest tone these strings will repay you with a great experience and a long life at an amazing price.

Why pay more?

Great value strings for much less than branded coated strings and in fact less than regular branded strings. Give them a go.

Impressive for the price

These are excellent strings for those guitars that you don't play every day but want to sound fresh and playable when you pick it up.

They're not the best coated strings I've played but for the price they really can't be ignored.

The sound is crisp and bright. and the feel is smooth

they are a great choice for those on a budget or as spares or as i mention on guitars that you don't use that often.

I've bought many more sets to keep on my infrequently used guitars.

Value String

I just wanted to buy 3 sets to try them out on my guitars. The sound is flat like Daddario's and the life of the strings are really long. It is still sparkling and looks new. I will use these string for a long time. Recommended for this price!

We received these:Harley Benton Coated Electric Guitar 009 strings as a complimentary gift with a replacement item we had sent to us. I've put them onto a Strat. I've just built for one of our members & I popped the top E while I was doing so, (it was probably my fault 'cause I've done it before) & had to fit another onto it. They took a while to settle down but they began holding tune after they had stretched. He said he was happy with the feel & play-ability of them. I'm not a good enough guitar player to offer an opinion, other than they seem as good as many other much more expensive guitar strings I've heard.

Rock On & Good Luck, mddwoody 3.

Great long lasting tone

These strings are great for the price. The sound is clear and bright and stays like that for a long time. I find you need to stretch them a little when you first put them on but they hold tuning well. They have that sticky feel like the other brands but you get used to that. I find they last a similar time to the premium brands for a fraction of the price.

Sound as good as any other strings I've tried.

Only had these on a few weeks so longevity can't be assessed yet. But sound good and intonation is fine. Came in sealed package
