Harley Benton Coated Electric Guitar 010 4-stars Reviews

Coated

The longer you used them, the better they sound, but don't over use them, as long as you remember to clean your fretboard regularly, you get a really nice tone from them.

Seem to last really well.

Put these on main guitar guitar a couple of months ago and they still seem to have maintained their zing. They seem a bit weird in quality before you put them on the guitar, it's hard to describe, they don't lie normally. It's the first time I've used coated strings and the feeling takes a wee bit of getting used to. Less string noise so they would be good for recording

Excellent value for money

for a regular gigging guitarist these strings are by far the most usuable of the cheaper coated range. with a quick wipe before and after playing those sweaty clubs these strings will last a very satisfactory length of time

Great strings for guitars you don't play all that often!

I bought these to put on a couple of guitars that I don't play all that much. I thought they would be adequate strings for this purpose, and being coated, that they would last well. I have been pleasantly surprised by these strings. They were very cheap (less than most well known brands' uncoated strings), and they sound great.

The only negative was that out of the packet they had a slightly sticky feel to them - not ideal obviously - but after a few hours of playing this disappeared and now they feel like any other set of strings. So far, after about 4 months, they still sound new and fresh, so the coating seems to be effective.

I would not put these on a guitar I was about to gig with because of that initial weird slightly sticky feel they have, but I have rated them as good because I think for the money they are excellent value, and I will buy them again for guitars that tend to sit around my studio without getting very high usage.

Not bad strings at all.

These strings are fine. They are not superb but at the price point they do what they are supposed to do. I use them on a guitar I practice with and they are fine for that. I'm quite happy with them.

Deep

These strings are a cheap alternative and are best suited to beginners. These strings are nothing compared to Ernie Ball (my favourite) but they do sound quite good.

The coated strings allow me to move my fingers across the fret board with ease and also reduce the pressure exerted on my fingers which then allows me to play for longer.

The only problem with these strings is the sound. It isn't top quality and does make the guitar sound a little tinny...however not as tinny as other brands i have tried that cost more money than these.

In short, these strings are very effective and do wow a group of people. They do have clarity, but you can hear a bit of tinniness .

I would recommend these to beginners any day.

Sticky but long lasting

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 do 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.
