Harley Benton Coated Electric Guitar 010 5-stars Reviews

Just a great quality string

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.

Great budget strings

When you have more guitars than money, these are the strings for you.Not my favorite strings but definitely my favorite “budget” strings.

Happy costumer.

You dont get your finger tip black, sounds great, I play hard so I need strings that can handel this, they do that.

Great strings

Easily installed on my DC Junior. Not too bright as some strings can be, these strings accentuate the mid-range frequencies and are perfect for rhythm work; bump up the treble and they do lead equally well. Only 4 stars for sound because the bass response is slightly lacking. Still highly recommended: an excellent budget set of strings.

Surprisingly good

Very good, as someone who lives 40ft from ocean and the salt air making strings not last long, these last a long time.

Lots of bang for the buck

I've been using Elixir strings for years now. I like the "feel" and sound of new set of strings, but I am too lazy to change a set. So coated strings are ideal - they keep that new set sound definition for longer than regular strings.

HB coated strings feel good and they sound good. I never made a direct comparison between a new set of Elixir and HBs, I go by the "gut" feeling, and that one is good, recordings sound good.

If you are a recording artist and do a lot of studio work, then you probably have your strings game already in order. If you are like me, ie. not a professional, these strings are ideal for practicing and recording as well. Ideal for that guitar that you forgot you have, but still like to take it out of the case and play it once in a while.

Given the price and performance it's now a no-brainer for me - I can get 3 sets of these strings, instead of 1 set of Elixir strings. Sound and durability so far, seems to be 80%-90% of what I've seen with Elixirs.

Value

These are as good as more expensive coated strings.

good strings

as good as any on the market

Great value

These strings are overall great.

They're rusting much slower than the D'Addario strings I was using previously and I can't hear any difference in sound.

I've had one D string which was a bit unevenly wound but it didn't seem to affect the tone at all.

They have done it again

Man... Hod does Harley Benton manage to offer such quality for so reasonable price. Coated strings under 4€.

I cant comment on sound yet - they are waiting for next string change and then I will update my review.

A greaat 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

They sound great

Was using Elixirs up until now.

Now i'll be using these going forward.

Suprisingly good!

Coated strings at this price?? I thought they muct be rubbish, but no! They're fab! They sound nice, the hold their tuning and they intonate well. Great stuff!

Nice Tone good quality

The most Value for money coated strings!

The best "budget" coated strings

I can say there is no significant difference between theese and any other "high end" coated strings.

Sound great-price even better!

Quality and durabiliti-wise I will be able to say more after using them a while.

Guitar strings best kept secret!

I used the acoustic version of these and I'm quite happy to buy the electric version now. Easily on a par with the more expensive direct brand-new alternatives. Will buy these for as long as I play, or that they're available.

Just get these

I was never a strings crazy person but recently in more advanced playing I have grown sensitive to them. I tried a couple before stumbling by accident with these. I tried the Ernie Ball Paradigms and D'addario NYXL and they didn't last merely as long as these ones. They sound great and alwas feel fresh. Absolutely recommended.

Delighted. Great strings, great price

I'm and intermediate player and very happy with my purchase.

Refer to other reviews from "pros" for their opinion if required.

Great Strings

My previous experience of coated strings was with the original Elixir and I was never happy with them. These seem fine, in fact if I did not know they were coated, I could not tell.

I a man occasional guitarist as My main nstrumentbis bass. As a result I often find strings corroded andc ifekess aftera few plays. These stay bright and clean. Excellent strings.

I like them

I wasn't altogether sure about these, before I bought them. I wanted to try coated strings, but didn't want to pay £15 a set. So, I took a punt on some of these, and some for my acoustic. So far, they seem pretty good. They feel alright, and they sound alright. I don't change strings as often as some people do, so I could probably stand to pay a bit more, but I just can't bring myself to spend all that.. The packaging is pretty cool, too..
