Harley Benton Valuestrings WE 12-53 3-stars Reviews

Cheap and break a lot

I had two sets and each snapped during the initial tuning. The remaining sounded good -- but obviously, this is not going to sell them.

It's ok

It's OK as a backup.

A Cheap trick

Great value for the price, good sound for small money

Value strings

Value strings is exactly what they are. Handy to have in your guitar case should you break one.

Feels cheap

Feels cheap, I now use Daddario EJ16's and couldn't be happier.

nice at first

But the sounds doesn't last very long. I noticed that these strings don't provide the same tension as other prime brands. My guitar, which is finely tuned, frets out with these strings.

Feel cheap, sound average

I tried these out and I just found them to be annoying.. They feel like plastic when you play them, there's barely any tension. You can't slap or pinch the strings too much or they will buzz. The sound is ok, but you have to strum extremely lightly. And they don't sound basy like bronze strings should.

This is ok if you only play with friends at a campfire. I would rather pay more and get better sound.

THE STRINGS ARE OKAY. VERY GOOD SOUND.

Are they really value?

Comparing these strings with rather affordable D'addario 85/15 strings, I think that Harley Benton strings have only average sound. After testing three sets on two different guitars, I get the impression that the strings are suitable only for the standard tuning, and with each lower outfit, for example an open F tuning, the guitar sounds unclean to me. I think I will not buy these strings anymore, because in my opinion their main advantage is the very low price .

For the money...

Can't complain at the price point these strings are!

Great for their price but not what I am looking for.

These strings are really good compared to many other strings but I prefer different strings for my style.

Only get these if you're really broke

These are not great strings, but what do you expect for ¤1.50?

Sound is not great and they don't stay well for long. I replaced mine after three weeks (and I usually keep them on for 3 months..)

Bottom Line: Get them to fill an order to shipping price limit of if you are really broke.

Cheap for a reason

I strung my Lowden F25C with these strings, and they sounded pretty mediocre in my opinion. Freshly strung, they already sounded dull, and they went even darker within a couple days of playing.

Amazing for price but break easy + not good for magnet Pickups

So for the price no complaints. They are strings, they sound like strings and they do the job. They break very easy and i find the B string is ALWAYS very buzzy on the frets of any guitar strung with these strings, and also they sound and feel about 1 gauge lower than they state - the 12s sound like thin 11s, the 13s would sound like thin 12s etc.

BUT. At the price, buy a few and use them as complete backups always in your case/backpack. Cant fault them for the price.

good quality donor strings

I buy these strings when I need a cheap pair of strings that I can rely on for a guitar that is only doing a few pub gigs or a recording session. there are times when putting on more expensive strings such as elixir really isn't worth the effort, however these are perfectly good for a few gigs, and you''ll suffer o tone loss at all.

For the price they are okay

I would never record with these strings on, but for doing gigs and such these are definitely good for spare strings.

The only main feature about these strings are the price. Compared to any other major company, these strings sound dull, almost as if they have been played on for a few months already. But the price is hugely inexpensive, so how could you complain about that?

Good but...

I feel that good strings make you feel better about your playing, as well as your playing sound better. These strings are okay, but I think it's better to spend a few euro extra for a set of Martins.

Buone

Per il prezzo che si paga queste corde va più che bene e non ci si deve meravigliare se dopo cinque o sei suonate prolungate le corde necessitano di essere cambiate. Sono corde senza grandi pretese che possono andare bene se si deve fare una serie di prove prolungate con una chitarra a 12 corde senza dover mettere mano al portafogli e comprare Muppet band è più costosa la brillantezza la mantengono per almeno cinque o sei suonate da almeno due o tre ore l'una quindi per il prezzo che si paga diciamo che si ha un prodotto discretamente buono.

Non fa male al portafogli cambiare più mute.

A few pence each

The key thing about these strings is the price.

I'd recommend these as excellent short-term spares or replacements until you are able to replace the whole set with your chosen brand.
