Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 10-46 Reviews

Cost pays off

These strings remind me of the string daddario of a cheap series. At me they come into disrepair after 1 - 2 weeks of playing them for 2 three hour rehearsals a week. Aversion when touch does not cause. Not for the studio, of course, but with them it is possible to live and enjoy the game.

Basic set but they sound good and

Cheap set, but the do their job.

My packet was new and fine, no opaqueness or rust inside.

Initially bright sounding and after some they will become slightly more dark, but this is for all strings set, even the expensive one.

After long use are still good, haven't broken any, and resisted to sweat so all in all it's ok.

More expensive sets can give you more sharp sound and sustain but these, if you're in need of saving a bit, are ok. Can go for it.

Btw, I'm "light hand", playing mildly on the guitar and normally, not much pushing, so If your playing is aggressive or heavy maybe buy more than one set (are cheap so you can) or go for a more expensive kind, but I'm guessing here.

Cheers

Very strong and value for money product

Recommended in general. Excellent price. Fair quality for that money. Lasts ok, too.

Great for the money

I decided to give these a go by using them on my practice guitar and they do the job fine, they have clarity and they are good to have as spare strings in case one or two strings break, to avoid replacing the whole set.

They sound fine!

Ok strings for the price

They?re cheap and do the job. Better than my harley Benton strings

Great value

Have been using them for a while now and i have to say that i am impressed for the price. I always use Fast Fret after playing and they last a long time. When first unpacked they feel a bit sticky, especially the G string but nothing a bit of Fast Fret can't fix. Buying a lot of those and changing frequently beats buying more expensive strings and keeping them till they rust IMO, unless you are professionally recording. All in all, very very happy and will continue buying

Have been using these strings for years

When i bought them first, i was sceptical because of price

They are 3 times cheaper than next priced strings

When i started playing, they felt great

Pros

Price

Durability

Cons

Slight difference in sound, they are not that bright

They get worn a bit faster

But with such good price it is hard to resist not to try them

Good purchase

These are cheap, good quality guitar strings. Put a set on my DC Custom over the weekend (the original strings were a little bit rusty when it arrived) and it sounds great!

Good.

Good strings. I use as spares but would not have a problem using for a full gig.

Good quality strings for next to no money.

Can't complain for the price.

I've been a guitar tech for many years now and have tried most brands of strings of varying gauges. I've strung maybe five guitars for use in a school with these now and I'm pretty impressed.

Perhaps not quite as bright and clear as more expensive brands but at £1.32 a set they really are very good. No obscure breakages at stress points so far after around 6 months use & they can take a beating from pupils in the classroom.

Well worth a try.

Good for the price.

Sound and playability are great. All frequencies ring out perfectly and they feel like way more expensive strings. However, I must mention that I've notice I've been getting more cuts on my fingers than usual on my fingers while using these strings. I practice alot, but I haven't had any problems with bleeding and cutting myself while playing guitar, but when I play these strings for more than 3 hours straight I have to apply bandages to stop the bleeding..

Great strings for a fraction of the usual price

I don't know how they can sell these for so cheap. They sound great, are very durable and feel comfortable. I can't tell much difference to the D'Addario XL's I used to play. Now I exclusively play these, because I can actually afford changing strings often enough.

Best value strings

I have been using these for couple of years now with my b-bender tele and no issues at all. Sounds crisp and last long as the more expensive ones...

Serious bang for the buck

Glad I tried these strings! I currently use them on my cheaper guitars, since I can't justify spending 10+ euro on a set of strings for a cheap guitar. Even though they are very inexpensive, they last a long time, feel great and sound almost as good as more expensive strings to my ears. Would definitely recommend them if you have a lot of guitars and need strings in bulk or to restring a fairly cheap instrument.

Good value

Perfect strings if you are that kind of player who wants to change strings often :)

Nothing different than a branded set of strings.

I have tried 009s and 010s value HB strings.

They must come from Daddario or any other known factory.

These are 1 to 1 like normal Ernie Ball or any other non coated brand.

Highly recommended.

Spares, cheap

These are great for me as spare strings (especially the high e) as well as I usually put these on the guitars that I rarely use and just hanging on the wall.

Great quality/price ratio

I use both the bass and electric guitar strings from HB to create a custom set of strings for my All Fifths Tuning.

I've been using these strings for the past couple of months and they play and sound well. I've put them to the test to use them for studio recordings. They did the job well!

+ Good sound

+ Well made

+ Durable

+ Low price

- The thicker strings feel a bit rough.

Great!
