Harley Benton Coated Electric Guitar 010 4-stars Reviews

Sounds and plays great. Would even play if they were more expensive :)

why not get them

decent quality and very cheap, brilliant for having them as spares aswell, they sound good...not amazing but i wasnt expecting them to be, pretty much every order i make from here i intend to put a set of the 10's and 11's because it really doesn't make a difference to my order and its good to have some reliable good sounding strings on hand that i can place in my guitar toolbox, my spare parts box, and any guitar cases so no matter what, these are there ready to save the day, id recommend anyone get a couple of each to try out and keep on hand.

Wow for the price is prize.

I was expected worse quality

Good Value For Money

I've used these strings for some time now, live and in the studio, and am still amazed at the quality and tone considering the low price. Because they are coated they are long lasting. I have spent a fortune in the past on "name" coated brands but if you understand that you are not buying top of the range, these strings are very good value, with not a huge amount of difference in tone...I just love them.

Bargain price for strings

I tried these strings with a Les Paul type guitar. Compared to the other strings I've used by other brands, these sounded a little dull, but apart from that they are very durable. As the price is about the lowest I can find, and thats the best part of the set, I still rate these good strings for electric guitar. But personally I will buy more expensive strings in the future - in order to get the desired clear sound.

Good sound, super long lasting

Really good guitar strings for the money. As they're coated they last for a lot longer, and sound new for a lot longer as well.

These are now the main strings I use on my guitars, and as they're so much cheaper than their equivalant competitiors you can afford to change your strings more often before recording or a big gig.

Amazing value for money

These strings are excellent. I usually use Elixir Optiwebs, which definitely still have the edge for me from a feel and sound point of view, but I keep a couple of sets of these in my gig bag in case something goes wrong at a gig. The first set I had I couldn't even remember which guitar I'd put theme on because they were such a good alternative. They seem to last quite a long time too, I probably got about 10 heavy-usage gigs out of them. I'd like to see a few more gauge options before I could give them a 5 star review (some 11's and also baritone would be great!)

Great Value Strings That Last

Bought these strings to put on a guitar I practice on the most as wanted them to last a good few months without the hassle of changing them. They do exactly what you would expect from this kind of string, they are coated and they last quite a while. Would recommend them for sure.

Better than some, worse than others

Reasonable quality strings, excellent price. They aren?t up to elixirs, but they are coated and last pretty well. All things considered, great value and I wouldn?t hesitate to use them again

Coated

Well, I've never tried coated strings before, but they're ok.

Less slippery, and also less bright in sound.

Each string is sealed separately in the box.

Good value cables

Good value for money strings at unbeatable price!

Great if you run them in

I thought I would try these because they are coated strings for the price of uncoated. I bought 9s first but have since bought 10s as well.

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've never had any problems with the 10s though I did break a 9 but that was my fault.

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.

You get a little bit more that what you pay this time

They are probably not for professionals touring musicians but they are quite good for the price, the only complain is that they feel oily when you first put them on, don't know why

Electric Spares

I always carry some Harley Benton strings in my case as spares, but again they are fine to gig and will save you some cash if you on a budget. Save for beers.

Why pay more?

These do the job and for less than the price of branded normal strings. I don't think they're quite as good as elixiers but are much cheaper.

Good for this amount of money

I got these strings in order to use in my old electric guitar however the quality is not as bad as you can imagine. I mean of course it is not wise to expect to get the same thing which costs 12¤ but it is not rubbish as the other couple of euro strings. I personally believe the value of the strings are more than their price. If you also like the sound would you prefer 3 sets of these or 1 good one, something that need to find out :)

good strings

I would definatly get these again. I got 10 packs and way to go yet. Got them on my Telecaster play the streets (busking)

no issues at all. No breaks yet either.

Good

But very good for the price. These coated string are comparable to the big name brands for a fraction of the cost.

I am not a huge buyer of coated strings because of the initial expense. If I didn't have to pay huge shipping expenses for shipping to the states I would buy these often. Do yourself a favor and try these...put them on an existing order.

Not bad strings, I still prefer D'Addarios.

These are much better the the Harley Benton value strings. They still have a little too much stretch to them when new for my liking. I can't tell you how long they last as I ended up going back to D'Addarios after a week or 2.

Value for money

For such a low price I expected razor wire. But I was happily surprised at the sound and playability of these strings. After a quick string change and a couple of stretches they held their tuning well and didn't feel as cheap and tacky as some other cheaper brands I have played.

Definitely worth every penny considering most other regular strings are double the price for a pack
