Harley Benton Valuestrings 010

You can't go wrong with these, bargain.

I still prefer Rotosound yellows,

especially if I was still gigging. The Rotosounds seem more defined, there's not a lot in it.

But when you've got many guitars, and just play them for pleasure , you can't go wrong.

I bought a heap, no premature breakage and they seem durable and last ages.

Fantastic!

I play as a professional guitarist and do 150 to 200 live shows and sessions a year. I love these strings as they are excellent value for money and I can afford to change them frequently to keep my sound fresh.

I don't hear or feel any difference in quality from these to any other brand and I have used them all.

Another Winner form Harley Benton!

Not GHS or else, but... AT THIS PRICE???

Seriously: you cannot expect them to be as brillant or durable as other guitar strings, but you cannot find any cheaper, and the result you get is at least decent. I still use them as a replacement, and often I leave them on until one breakes!

Very good ratio of quality and price

Perfect test strings if you are setting up and / or modifying your guitar.

The sound for this price is very good, and the overall feel is 7 out of 10, a bit brittle. Overall these strings can compare up to strings in a much higher price range.

Excellent Value for Money.

I use loads of these - and always need a few spare sets. At this price I can keep many spare sets and it is nice to be able to give them away when other guitarists need strings.

Spare strings

I always have this ones for when i break the strings i usually have on my guitar, or for the guitars i usually don't use for recording or gigs, they are pretty acceptable for the price

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.

Value for money!

Good strings to have as a backup for rehearsing or even gigging!

No good if you've got a Bigsby

I can't really talk about the sound as the 2 packs of strings I bought are still in my drawer.

They have solid ball-ends with no holes; as all of my electric guitars have got Bigsbys, you can't get them onto the little rods that hold the strings on. I'm probably not explaining this very well if you've never strung a Bigsby, but take my word for it; it doesn't work...

Unreal Value!

These strings are great, they sound and feel as good as the big brand name strings at a fraction of the price! I will definitely be purchasing these again in the future!

Perfect for beginners

Overall I'm very happy with this string set which came with my guitar. The sound is good, the tune is holding up okay so far. Best bang for the buck and I'm definitely going to order pack of these later just to keep replacement strings somewhere near. Probably not-as-good-sounding as other alternatives that cost more.

Amazing for the Price

I bought these originally because I needed some cheap strings for a project guitar that I keep taking apart. They have been amazingly good for the price - to the point where I would put them up there with the D'Addarios and Ernie Balls. They keep their tone and new feel longer than most uncoated strings. Tone is easily bright enough for me, though some might prefer a little more sparkle. However the sparkliest strings tend to degrade more quickly. Amazingly good for uncoated strings

Useable strings for less

Not 100% as bright and resonant as the most expensive strings you can find. but perfectly fine for live performances or practice. Good value. A reasonable choice. I even used them on my last recording project. Really hard to distinguish sonic differences in a mix. Good enough for me.

You get what you pay for.

Decent sound with decent quality(usually). For a killer price.

There dead in similar time to strings 3 times the price.

Just keep in mind occasionally they might break especially if you often times do some job that requires changing tension on guitar. Ernie ball has similar problem but more often which is kind of not really good for much more expensive strings.

If you have sweaty hands it is a good option.

Excellent Value For Money

For the money, you'd be silly *not* to get a few packets of these. I usually use Elixers, but keep these in my gig bag so that if i break a string at a gig, I can use one as a spare and leave it on until I get a chance to put on a full set of my usual.

No issues in terms of sound or playability. Not really sure how long they hold their tone for as it's been quite a while since I've had a set on a guitar for a significant period of time.

Such good value

I usually use Ernie Ball strings, and I bought these strings for a very cheap project guitar. Honestly, they were good. I preferred them to D'Addario XL in fact! Well worth a go at this price, great for students or those on a tight budget, they are very useable strings.

Uso Harley Benton Value Strings em várias guitarras, com medidas que variam entre 0.9, 0.10 e 0.11

Talvez não mantenham o "brilho" como algumas cordas de outras marcas mantém durante tanto tempo. Mas mesmo assim, duram bastante.

Não me apercebi que fossem menos duráveis que as cordas de marcas mais caras. A durabilidade é bastante razoável

As cordas também vêm seladas em saquetas individuais de plástico, pelo que não me parece que oxidem facilmente mesmo estando guardadas durante algum tempo.

Pelo preço e pela razoável qualidade parece-me impossível encontrar melhor

Good enough for rock and roll

For years I've used Ernie Ball Slinky's for my electric guitar strings, but I recently used a colleague's spare set of Harley Bentons, and now I'm not going back.

I just ordered a job lot because these sound 99% as good as any other brand for less than 20% of the price. Smooth and comfortable to play, they stay in tune and do exactly the job I need as a full time musician.

Highly recommended.

Almost free

I'm not a professional guitar player, though I've been playng for quite a few years now. I've got all kinds of strings you can imagine, though I always buy Harley Bentons as a backup. They really got nice tone, but as usual for strings this cheap, the lifetime isn't that great, but for this price they're excellent.

bang for the buck

These strings are suprisingly good.

I dont know strings with a simmilar price and the quality is totally good for it.

I can see a little difference in feel and sound in comparison to the major brands , but for this little price I am really satisfied.
