for the price you can't beat them

Use them on most of my guitars now. Even gig with them. For the price 5 stars. Packaging plastic is annoying and not easy to open but that is small potatoes.

Exceptional for practicing.

Cheap and great value. I've been using them for practicing for a while and I am very happy with them.

Harley Benton Valuestrings WE 12-53

The Harley Benton Valuestrings WE 12-53is the only String Set for Steel-string Guitars in my opinion.

You cannot justify paying big money for strings at small priced gigs. profit margin gets reduced very quickly.

I say this with quality in mind. If these strings were rubbish i wouldn't buy them. Instead i buy in bulk!

BEST STRING OUT THERE!

Surprisingly Good

In terms of tone and playability, these strings are as good as most of the big names (with the exception of a certain brand from Farmingdale which, in my opinion, is unbeatable) . I'm principally an electric guitar player, so my acoustics don't get much abuse, however longevity has been surprisingly good for a budget product. I bought quite a few of these in the expectation of having to change them more often, but as it turned out I haven't needed to do this.

I can't believe how cheap these are

Most of my life I have paid 15+ euro for a pack of strings. I bought these out of curiosity and I was amazed. The strings sound excellent! In a blind test I would never guess those are 10x cheaper then what I used to buy.

Sound wise, the strings sound huge with a great low end. Also, the sound is a bit "metally" but I really like it.

I highly recommend this!

jingle jangle

had a few sets of these now, using them on an Epiphone EJ 200 jumbo...

Good quality strings, especially given the price...I find them very bright and playable with a nice ring to them.. I find them getting a little dull after maybe 3 months, I play a lot... but easy to afford to change them regularly at this price, recommend them definitely.

Unbelievable

These strings are ideal, no fuss, just strings that do the job. Bright, stay in tune, been well used for over a month and no issue. At this price why would you not give it a go. To be honest I stuck these in to bump up the package cost, to avoid shipping cost. Now I know, I suspect I will be stocking up.

Bought for a cheap guitar

As per title, these were bought with another order for my disabled relative's guitar whose strings were old and dull. These are a lot brighter than you'd expect for the price, and are all round nice to play. I usually play 11s for acoustic but I am going to give these a try on my Epiphone next change. Just buy em :)

Brilliant for the low price!

Awesome

Honestly didn't feel or hear any difference compared to my previous "regular priced" brand name strings.

For the price you would be silly to not give them a try at least.

Excellent

You can't go wrong with these strings. They stay in tune and sound superb. I will use them all the time now.

I have used more expensive strings from the "big named brands"and can't tell the difference.

Highly recommended.

Fantastic Value for Money

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, and 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.

Price / Quality too good

Use on all my guitars

So cheap for a pack of strings, I'd rather stock up on these and replace full sets regularly, always super handy to have several of these around as well in each case/bag in case a string breaks while travelling.

Great strings not just because of value

Buy more expensive strings only for studio recordings! My bandmate uses specially coated high tech whatnot strings for 10x the price of these and granted, they sound better than these strings... for a while. After a few weeks there is not much difference and they die about the same time.

I think for really high gain metal, it might probably worth buying better strings, but for any other purpose (including and especially bedroom playing) stick to these. Your wallet will thank you.

Good strings

I use these as back ups in case I don't have my usual strings. I find them good.
