Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 9-42 5-stars Reviews

Good for the price/quality

Great

The strings are worth the price, you get nothing more and nothing less.

Fantastic Strings

Very impressed with the quality of these strings, for the price of a Mars bar :D

I guess if you put a gun to my head I'd say the only criticism I'd have is that they don't feel quite as slinky and smooth as those of a much higher price point, but they are still 100% usable and feel fine. If you can even rub them down with a small bit of string extender or guitar polish its problem solved anyway, even if you don't do this they are fine quality strings to use and at this cost I bulk buy to save a lot of money. Highly Recommended.

A workhorse string

I have tried many strings in the last 20 years, but stayed only with these for the last 8 years. They are not as shiny as others but for this price they can't be beaten.

They last forever and don't loose much of the tone. Never broke a piece.

Excellent value strings

I have been buying these string for 15 years, and nothing touches them for value for money.

They last about the same time as a set of slinkys and I've just restringed one of my guitars with a set I bought 8 years ago. No rust, the tone was dead on and they sound great.

VFM... value for money!

Great value, good sounding strings, exactly what it says on the tin.

really good wire

I'm using it in studio records, this wire is really no difference from professional wires. I'm quite satisfied. Chord balance is as good as a piano. I have no idea about the life of the product yet.

Perfect strings for a small price.

The strings are used for Harley Benton R-456FR BK.

The sound is clear and transparent.

Do not stretch.

The best string for a little money.

Excellent strings for the price

I bought these for a project guitar that I keep taking apart. They are great for the price, up with the good brands of uncoated stringss. They keep their tone and new feel really well. Their tone is fine for me, though some might prefer a brighter sound. I find the brighter strings tend to degrade more quickly. These are exceptionally good for uncoated strings, in my opinion.

Great strings for the price

Can't beat the value of these strings

Easy bendings and nice sound

1.50 euros for a set of string? Sign me in!

The sound isn't the most wonderful in the world , their lifespan is average and I really reccomend for regular practice purposes.

For how little they cost they make for the perfect intense practice routine and savage bendings without fear of breaking a much more expensive set.

The sound is clear (nothing special to be worth mentioning).

The first tuning is a little tricky ( high E and B tend to slip on the tuner) and they are a bit rough on the fingers for the first few minutes, but past that they are really worth and bend like butter.

Bang for the buck!

Excellent quality considering how little these strings cost! Tone is fine and life is good.

A steal!

These are a cheap arternative to the big string companies,very nice!

Good strings

Really cheap but good quality, I'll definitely be buying more.

Harley Benton Valuestrings 009

great value change them as often as you like Always have great sound i use these strings on my strat telecaster and Epiphone les paul can,t fault them Always have a boxful at that price

I have to admit that I have very few reference point and experience with electric guitar strings, but these do sound and feel good to me, and at the price you definitely won't find better.

The only minor issue I have with them is that there is some sort of a mildly sticky coating on them that isn't exactly ideal, but it does seem to wear off rather quickly and as such isn't much of a problem, at least for me.

These are solid and extremely affordable strings that won't make you cry if you accidentally snap one, or cut one off at the wrong point like I managed to do once.

Very melodic.

I like my strings melodic as hell. Volume around 7 and knob on full so i won't cut any of the higher frequencies. Love that sound, it is really nice.

This string make it happen.

Additionaly playing on WL-20BK You can play on them and still hear it very clearly without an amp. Makes life easier when You want to practice / excerise without any amp.

They keep the tune nicely, after 25 hours of playing and checking, only D string was a tiny bit off.

Starting from 09 they aren't that painfull to play and feel kinda soft. Was playing on .12 on my universal guitar and they were hard to bend... this is soft and fluffy in comparison.

Bang for the buck, cheap and nice. And You won't feel bad if You break one.

If You got more $ go and experiment.

Serious bang for the buck

I've always played 10s or 11s and didn't want to spend a lot of money to try 9s. Bought these and was surprised. They feel really good and sound nice. I'm not a 9s player, but for what they are you really can't complain.

I recommend them if you have a lot of guitars and buy strings in bulk or to restring a fairly cheap instrument.

Awesome strings for the price

No more D'Addarios for me. These strings are a bit less supple than regular strings, but they are pretty good and stay clean, even with very acid fingers. They need very little stretching and stay bright a long time. I have yet to break a string with playing, even with hard floyd rose usage.

Out of the package the strings feel stiff like steel cable, but on the guitar they play pretty good. 009 strings have less fret noise because they are a bit tighter than regular 009 string. I love them. The perfect string sets for setting up guitars, as they are so cheap, you can throw them away after setup and install a fresh set.

I bought about 100 sets already I think. My go to strings for guitar!

Nothing wrong with these at all.

Sound bright and spanky just like any other name brand steel strings. No problems with breakages as long as your guitar is set up well.
