Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 10-46 5-stars Reviews

Never buying different strings

Although these strings are nothing fancy (obviously) but they are surprisingly good.

They have a decent time having that "new string ring". They sound great, don't break easily, durable and don't start sounding muddy for a long time.

The only thing about these is they need to "set in" and stretch for a long time.

Great strings!

Super value

Great strings for a magnificent price, no difference to my ears to other brands although these feel different in a strange (but not awful) way.

Been using these for years!

I've never understood why people spend a fortune on strings. To me a string is a string!! I've been using these for years, if you want them to last a little longer just remember to apply Fast Fret after each use. I've used much more expensive Elixir strings which are supposed to have a coating that makes them last longer. They're about £12 a set - I found the Harley Benton and Fast Fret combination lasts much longer. When fresh I honestly couldn't tell any difference in sound quality or ease of use. I use Harley Benton bass strings too.

How could you go wrong??

A set of strings for the price of a fizzy drink.

May not last as long as a set of elixers, but I've had no breakage issues. Excellent to have in the case even if its just as a spare set.

Not stellar but good value for money

I bought a couple sets for adjusting Floyd Rose setups as those tend to ruins string sets pretty quickly when the string are taken off / put on all the time - they're not stellar but doing their job and are value for their money. They sound OK, don't break quickly - if you're on a budget go for it. If you're looking for premium strings look elsewhere;)

At this price, everything deserves 5 stars!!!

I bought these to test the setup on an old guitar, with the intention of putting on something nicer once I was happy with the setup...

Pleasantly surprised and my elixir strings are still in the pack for now!!!

Slightly better than you expect

I bought these just to be sure and it completely paid off as I broke one of the stock strings of the new guitar right away.

So, I changed all those strings and it sounds nice, handles well and I have a better overall from these than from those which were stock on Harley Benton guitar, which came with these strings.

If you need cheap strings, then this is your pick and the quality is above what you expect.

Good strings

I bought both sizes of these Harley Benton strings (009 and 010) for comparison. 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. Of course, it depends on the style that you play, but personally, I like more the sound of ?010?, which is pretty robust. Nevertheless, I recommend both sizes.

Really good strings

This strings are very good for the price. I'm very supprised for quality.

Mega value Strings

Great strings for the price stay in tune and never broken one single string yet

Why use anything else?

Sounds as good as any other string when new.

They lose their sparkle a little more quickly than a set 5 times the price, not 5 times as quickly.

Great product

These strings are amazing

These strings are simply amazing considering the price, they sound great, they feel great, I haven't had any problems with them.

I don't think I will buy from other more expensive brands any more when it comes to strings.

Great Product

Excellent value for money, as good as all the other strings I bought.

Superb workhorse string's.

I am a guitarist who plays a wide variety of styles from twangy country to mellow jazz.I have been using ernie ball strings for thirty years but just thought I would give these Harley Benton strings a try. I can tell you I am not disappointed ! these strings deliver the goods and more,they have the ability to blend to whatever style I'm playing with aplomb.Ten out of ten to Harley Benton a steal at this price ,give them a try they wont be found wanting !!!

Wasn't expecting much but pleasantly surprised

When I saw the price of these compared to the other strings out there I instantly assumed these would be total garbage. But for the price it's pretty hard not to try them out.

Really decent quality, I wouldn't be surprised if these exact same strings aren't being rebranded and sold by other brands for a higher price.

At the price you can afford to buy a few packs and have them in the studio and in your case, you'll never be without fresh strings!

There might be strings out there that would last a little longer, but again, for the price that doesn't really matter. You can change your strings twice as often and still be saving a ton of cash with these strings, definitely worth trying out.

Best Value for the Bucks even at higher price

Great strings for r. I am using Harley Benton string for two years and must to say that quality is on highest standard. Beside electric guitars 010, i am user for they bass string in gauge 040 and 045, and 009 for electric guitar.

They all sound and last like much expensive strings!!

I still don't figure out how they could sell this strings at this price. They are stored in a vacuum protective bag so you can use them even years after the purchase, far more expansive sets don't have this wise option and after months I found them completely rusted. At this point for the same price you can buy 10 or even 12 of these and always play with new, fresh strings all year long. It is way better a new set of string whatever the quality could be rather than play with an expensive but very old set, especially for a gig and studio recording.

Great strings regardless of price!

I bought these strings with an attitude, of "What the heck?" For that money they had to be worth a try.

Well they exceeded expectations by a long way.

Ok, I'm sure if someone carried out extensive tests in a lab, they may find some small variations from the makes that are 3 or 4 times the cost, but in a real world situation, you'd be hard pushed to notice a difference.

They're pretty long lasting, good sounding and good quality. For the price you can't go wrong.

So you can either be fooled by the advertising, and pretty packaging, and buy the "premium brands" for 4 times the price, or buy these and eventually save yourself enough money to buy another guitar, and we're all always looking to do that :-)

Don't just take my word for it, do yourself a favour and give a few sets a go, you won't regret it!

Good value for money, great sound

As with all Harley Benton strings, they are more than worth the money, they feel nice, sound fine and will last as long as your sweat will let them, and you shouldnt run in to tuning issues as long as you stretch your strings - like you should with any new strings. So over all, yes, they work, so buy them and get playing !

Great strings

Fantastic value for money, I really can't recommend these enough, I have a good few guitars, so spend a small fortune on strings, using these will save me loads of money (to spend on more guitars) and without sacrificing tone, not only are they cheap, they sound great too.

Unbelievable

I still don't figure out how they could sell this strings at this price. They are stored in a vacuum protective bag so you can use them even years after the purchase, far more expansive sets don't have this wise option and after months I found them completely rusted. At this point for the same price you can buy 10 or even 12 of these and always play with new, fresh strings all year long.
