Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 9-42 Reviews

GOOD SURPRISE

I HAVE ALWAYS USED STRINGS D'ADDARIO, AND WHEN I BUY THESE ROPES HARLEY BENTON, IT WAS JUST TO COMPLETE A VALUE THAT I HAD AVAILABLE ON THE SITE, BUT WHEN PLACING THESE ROPES IN MY GUITAR, I HAD A GREAT SURPRISE! BECAUSE I HAVE INSTALLED THESE STRINGS AT A GOOD TIME, AND UNTIL THE MOMENT THEY CONTINUE WITH AN AMAZING SOUND!

WHERE I LIVE (BRAZIL), THESE STRINGS DO NOT EXIST TO SELL, AND FOR THIS REASON THERE WASN'T TESTED BEFORE THIS STRAIGHTENING, I BELIEVE THIS STRINGS IS ONE OF THE BEST COST x BENEFIT AVAILABLE ON THE SITE

Too weak

Not that bad the 009 string is not strong. It broke when stretching the string, the next one too. I won't buy 009's again. I did buy 010's and 011's. I like these better. I keep a few sets as cheap spares. They sound and play ok. Nothing special but ok. Mediocre strings for very little money equals good value for money. I like the 011's best.

Excellent

Excellent strings. Work like a charm.

Why pay more for strings?

I have used literally hundreds of sets of these strings, and have remained thoroughly impressed. They are not prone to breaking. They are INCREDIBLY reasonably priced, and sound just fine. If you get through as many strings as I do then this is a total no-brainer. Buy these.

Great strings if you are in a hurry

They are great strings if you need some quick cheap strings

Good for the price/quality

"Why Valuestrings? Ooohhh!"

You get what you pay for! Valuestrings!

They sound good, but for sweaty hands, they degrade and rust up really fast! Even with caring and tending to them with some GHS Fastfret, they're a little less durable than bigger name brands. The price, however, compensates for all that! And for someone that doesn't use the guitar all that much, if it's well stored, in proper conditions, the strings will be ok after 2 or 3 months.

Great

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

Didn't use it yet, but they seem to be high quality.

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.

Decent string to start with

I bought this strings for my guitar project set up. I used them to test new parts on the guitar. Played them for a week and them change them for better ones. For this purpose they are good. Otherwise they are incomparable with better strings. I replaced them with Elixir Nanoweb and the difference is massive. But so it is the price of these two sets.

Good Value

Not the best strings in the world, but very cheap. So you can say its quite good value based on the price. In terms of quality, decent finishing, somewhat good sound and don't break as easily as I thought they would.

Value strings if you don't care about sound

I am not against trying and purchasing "value" items as I have had good buys in the past. Like the Harley -Benton bass strings which are OK. However sometimes, it is a waste of money.

And I frankly cannot find anything valuable beside the price about those strings. I had to use two sets to restring my guitar because the wire of one of them just detached itself from the holding ring at the bridge.

Also the strings don't really unroll. They stay coiled. Weird thing!

The sound is weak and mat sounding.

I restrung immediately my guitar with better ones.

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.

Affordable quality strings

I put this strings on a Samick acoustic electric, and i did not notice any difference on my previous, more expensive strings.... Would highly recommend this.

THE STRINGS ARE OKAY. VERY GOOD SOUND.

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.
