Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 9-42 5-stars Reviews

String theory is knowledge

Great strings at the price. I like to buy 10 packs at a time so these work out great. I'm always doing mods on the guitars and changing the strings so this product makes my hobby affordable. Great sounding and long lasting. Highly recommended.

If you make often string changes, especially if you have a lot of guitars, look no further. These strings will save you money and their quality is very good.

Good value

For the price these are great. So far they are lasting just as well as premium brands and I've had no tuning or stability issues.

Inexpensive Electric Guitar stings.

Recommended for those that burn through strings.

Can't go wrong at this price.

Cheapest Strings Out There

These are by far the cheapest strings I've ever seen, and so far I've been very happy with the quality.Maybe not quite up to the tone and durability of more expensive brands, but close enough to make them hardly worth the 5-10x higher price for most applications.

UPDATE:

On both of the sets I bought I have now had one string break (high E on one and B on another). Neither of these had been used for very long when they broke, and in both cases I found that the string had unwound itself from the colored head, as opposed to snapping. From this experience, I would not recommend these strings.

Cheap strings that work

These are no-gimmick, no nonsense strings that last long enough to make them an economical purchase and sound just great.

Totally recommended.

I've been using a set of 9's on my Floyd Rose equipped guitar for around three weeks of somewhat heavy use.

Played Gilmour bends a lot with these over the B string and the "Are you gonna go my way" solo dozens of times already and there are no signs of string weak that I'm aware of, they are still perfectly elastic, no big pitch loss after all this abuse and feel pretty much like any other brand set.

EDIT: After more weeks using the first set I can say they are 100% as any others.

Thumbs up then!

Really good inexpensive strings

These strings are great value. The sound is uncompromising when the strings are new and bright and you will pay a good deal more to find better quality.

If you buy in bulk they are even better value and are certainly

what you need if you have a few gigs in the week or weekend and at this price a new set for each gig is possible for that clear ringing sound that only new strings give. However, if you only change your strings once a month you can get 12 months supply for a very inexpensive price and very good quality for the price.

Reasonably good strings

The strings play really nice and bending noted is fairly easy

but they lack sustain

Very good strings

These are my go to strings for my Ibanez.

In the past i used to buy more expensive strings.

Ever since I tried these out never again i used different strings.

They may be cheap but they do as great a job as more expensive popular strings (even better than some).

They don't go muddy very fast, they stay fresh for quite a long time. That new string metallic "ringing" doesn't go away for surprisingly a long time (to me it's a huge plus,love that fresh metallic string sound). They also stay in tune very well.

The only downside to these strings is you need to stretch them for longer than some other strings to settle them in.

After they stretch, settle in, they become as great as their more expensive competitors.

you should be using these strings !

I have been using these strings for about 5 years now as well as some of my other professional guitarist friends. I have about 40 guitars in my studio so its great to restring at my leisure instead of considering the cost . Previously I paid 5 times as much for my strings to be in a "Pink Packet" but I can say that after using about 200 sets personally over the last few years and another 200 sets for all my guitar students that the only difference I notice is in my wallet ! I use 10s personally and 9s for my students and in about 400 sets i have only found 2 "dodgy" strings which may have been careless winding on my part. AS I change strings very often I can say that I don't think they are the brightest tone available but I found that most strings sound the same after a couple of days and its great to put new strings on for £1 before a gig !

Don't be put off by the price

Very good quality. In my opinion, just as good as some priced much higher.

Feel the attack!

I love these! easy to hold onto, difficult to lose and sharp in the attack..really improved speedy picking for me too

Excellent strings

This strings are excellent. Fort that price you couldn't expect for more. I play two gigs per week, and they can last almost as any other strings. Not the same sound, but for that price is resonable.

Good strings

I expected, that so cheap strings cannot be good. Nevertheless, I ordered several pieces. When I used them for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised. The sound is nice; I would not say it is produced by so cheap strings. Regarding durability, they cannot be compared with more expensive strings of other brands, such as. Daddario etc., of course. But who needs to frequently change the strings, these Harley Benton strings are the right choice.

Can't beat them for the price

Best strings for the price. They last very long, but a good stretch before it reaches final tuning stability is needed.

Soundwise they are very close to the more expensive string manufacturer companies.

Great Stings

As good as Any strings I Have Use in the Pass (and I have tried them all) at this Price you can afford to change your strings regular (as you should) and Keep your Guitar sounding as it should

Good Value At Any Price

We all spend loads of money on strings, and the differences between them can be quite stark at times, but I can honestly say that I am a complete convert and somewhat gutted that I've spent so much on what are frankly inferior strings in a lot of cases over the years. If you've not tried these, they have got to be worth a punt. Great strings whatever the price.

Often, you get what you pay for and at this price you may easily be forgiven for thinking they are unplayable. These however, are great value strings. They're not brilliant but they are great for a student/lounge/spare guitar. They have a decent sound and a good life span on them. The strings come well presented and individually wrapped...

good value

cheap and cheerful, lose a bit of zing relatively quickly in my opinion but it all depends on your sweat acidity/alkalinity i suppose. Anyway for this price u can't go wrong, buy a stack of them!

Suprisingly good strings!

I was sure that I waste money when I ordered them, but they have nice sound, and with this price - I can replace them every month, and my wallet will still be happy! Even after 3 months, they're still not bad.
