Harley Benton Coated Phosphor 011 Anti Rust 5-stars Reviews

Coted strings at reasonable price...at last

95 per cent as good as bigger brands, without the extortionate price. A win/win for acoustic players everywhere

A+ Set of Acoustic Strings!

Perfect set of strings comparable to other much more expensive brands! Sure a set of Elixirs will sound better, but you'll buy multiple packs of these for the same price! If you keep your acoustic guitar in a case and use string cleaner before & after playing then these strings will last you months!

Excellent sound and feel.not so antirust in the long run

The strings sound very good fresh after a long time.very good quality packaging.After a long time of inactivity I saw that some of the strings where rusted but they still sound good.my room has humidity so I guess they could not handle it.I have my guitar hanged on the wall also not inside a case.I highly recommend though.very good quality overall for a very reasonable price.

Very Impressed

I honestly thought these strings weren't going to feel as nice as other name brands coated strings, But they are great! Very Impressed!!

Decent for the money

I rather use a more expensive strings to be sincere but this are good for practice

Nice set of strings!

Been using Elixir for my acoustics for years and these seem to be equaly good!

They've been on the guitar for awhile, still sound good and show no signs of rust.

Will buy again.

Perfect

Don't see why some are down on these for not having a good sound. They sound spot on for me, had them on for three weeks and no sign of degrading as yet (play for about 45 minutes every other day)

Maybe if your a pro you would want the top of the range but for the rest of us mere mortals i cant see why you would buy anything else... i've ordered some more.

Bright sound, long life,

Value for money 100%

really good strings!

really happy with the strings, they sound good and are better then the Martins I was using

They last

Cheap strings with a coating is exactly what I needed: I don't use my acoustic guitar much and don't want to change my strings every time I play it. These seem to hold up well (half a year and counting)! Though I cannot compare easily with other sets of strings, the sound is good, and has not deteriorated (much) yet over time.

Edit: I became dissatisfied with the sound of my guitar. I thought it was the guitar at first, but decided to give it a shot and replace the strings with Elixir Nanoweb Light Phosphor Bronze. They are about three times the price but sound much, much better, so if you have the money, I'd recommend buying a good set of strings, instead.

Seem to last forever.

I bought 3 sets but still am using the first one for more than 18 months about 4 times half an hour per week. There is maybe a bit of loss of brillance but I do not care: the feel is till almost as new.

Classic !

I have these fitted to all our acoustics,and my wife and I find the tone and feel of these to be excellent. Coated strings at this price spot on .

Now my favorite strings

I have a mahogany parlour guitar and have tried at least 8 different brands of string without complete satisfaction because of the excessive volume and shrillness of the trebles. Then I tried these. They were balanced and screech-free from day one, so I went out and ordered 3 more sets straight away. I am planning to stick with these for the long term.

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.

Perfect and cheaper

cheaper than other branded coated strings, similar quality - good work!

Nice strings

I've always used Martin Phosphor Bronze, mainly, if not totally down to habit. I kept thinking I should try something different. I bought some of these, and some for electric, and so far they seem pretty good. They feel good, and they sound pretty good to my ears, and that's all I can really go on. The guitar I use the on ids a good, all solid woods acoustic, so it's probably going to sound decent, anyway, but I didn't hear any drop in the quality, with these strings on, as opposed to the others..

these or the real deal?

not better then the elixer but damned it's close

so for the money I take these and smile!!

Great strings for a great price

I use to use Elixir strings for years, my sweat is very corrosive and for a long time that was the only way to go. I tried these last summer and I must say they work great for me. Nice warm tone, plenty of spank and punch, long life and no corrosion - who could ask for more at such a great price. Now these are mine favourite strings for acoustic - for fingerstyle, slide or strumming - these work great. After 30 years of playing a guitar I have finally found the strings that do not cost that much but still have everything I need. I am currently experimenting with different gauges and again I have decided to use Harley Benton strings for my acoustic guitars - you just can`t beat the quality/price ratio. I actually liked a slightly warmer tone these have compared to Elixir, they are warm and not so bright as acoustic elixir - just the way I like it. If you are looking for a great quality at a resonable price these are the strings for you. I will surely buy more in the future - as an active musician I always need reliable and good sounding strings for my guitars.

Bargain

These strings were my first Harley Benton strings and my first set of coated strings. It will not be the last time for either.

I have used these on a small body and a dreadnought, both with spruce tops. In both cases the tone was as good as I have experienced with any other string.

Great sound and durability while also being a joy playing.

Worth at least double the cost!

I bought these to try, as I generally use coated strings on my acoustics as they last longer and sound much brighter.

I wasn't expecting much, but they've been on for over a month now with daily play and they still sound bright and sharp as when they were restrung.

Definitely worth the cost and I'll be using them again.

I'd highly recommend them.

No cons at all to these, all Pros
