Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 11-52 Reviews

Unbeatable for the price!

The strings settle in nicely right after stretching and they don't seem to last any less than your favorite brand strings. They don't sound exactly as bright as more expensive brands so I wouldn't personally recommend recording with these, but for otherwise playing, practicing or even playing live, these are unbeatable at this price range!

you could say ?

you get what you pay for BUT I use them for busking ... don't sound so good but who cares if you break 1 ( which I do quite often) but so do I get breaks with even the best. I will buy more although I bought bulk so it will be awhile.

good product

The product matches the description. It performs its function.

why not get them

decent quality and very cheap, brilliant for having them as spares aswell, they sound good...not amazing but i wasnt expecting them to be, pretty much every order i make from here i intend to put a set of the 10's and 11's because it really doesn't make a difference to my order and its good to have some reliable good sounding strings on hand that i can place in my guitar toolbox, my spare parts box, and any guitar cases so no matter what, these are there ready to save the day, id recommend anyone get a couple of each to try out and keep on hand.

For the guitarist on budget

I use this set to combine it with different sets. It's great for low tuning or in combination with the other two HB sets (09 and 10) to customize your strings set.

Good strings

I use it for C drop or C# drop tuning.

Sounds like Dunlop nickel-plated strings

Stays in tune

sounds normal approx.. 3-4 weeks like Dunlop nickel-plated strings

The best choice for this price

Unreal value

I bought these strings with low expectations and was blown away. The sound and feel are above average, but the price is extremely good. Also, this set of strings stayed on my second guitar for three months and even after that everything felt and sounded what you would expect from middle-class strings. Actually, just bought more of these with my recent order and probably will buy them again in the future.

Cheaptastic.

OK, they're budget priced and so you get budget quality... But for the price I can't fault them...

I have half a dozen electrics lying around my small rehearsal studio regularly used by friends and clients.. at this price I can afford to change string regularly.. and the tone from them is fine.. OK, they won't have the longevity of more expensive brands but I'm very happy with them.

Vfm

Nothing extrordinary but they do the job.

I recommend after installing them wait 8-10 hours before playing so the lubricant the have to vaporize.

Perfect for beginners

Although they are cheap they dont sound bad at all. Perfect if you are just starting out with guitar. Some people mention corrosion or that they dont hold tuning but in my experience thats not the case.

What i needed

Perfect, at least for a beginner like me.

tuning

These strings dont hold tune very well.

Daddario do though.

i have not used any of these strings yet but i have seen very good reviews of them and if you own quite a few guitars like i do you cant beat the price you pay for them very good value for the money

Great strings for no money.

They sound great, and last long enough.

Yep

Good for the money. They sound good in my opinion. You can change them more often for that price ;)

Value Strings indeed

These are way better than they should be for the price. You don't get the super new string sparkly stage as much, but for me that's more than made up for by the 80%+ saving. These are now happily my everyday strings.

(This is also my review of the 9s and 10s - I bought a dozen of each to keep on hand.)

Very good for the price

I'm not a professional musician, just periodic player at home. This strings seams to be very solid and when you put the price into equation they are clearly very good choice. You can get 3 to 4 sets of these strings for the price of one branded and change them more frequently. This is especially the case when you have guitar with fixed bridge and locking tuners were the string change is very simple and quick.

great quality for money

I usually buy these in bulk whenever I'm buying them. I'm a gigging musician doing up to 2/3 gigs a week. I have a very heavy attack in my right hand so no matter what sort of strings I use, I always end up snapping them so having a surplus amount for such a small price comes in very handy.

the only downfall to these strings I find is that they degrade very quickly but they do exactly what they say on the tin. They're value strings.

does the job for great value

for this price these strings are obviously not as good as high budget strings, but they are certainly descent. High budget companies can't justify charging 10 times more for a product that's not 10 times better.

Regular strings

Slightly curved in some places. But the packaging is crazy
