Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 11-52 5-stars Reviews
Simply excellent, buy cheap and rejoice!
Not often buying cheap gets decent results but these Harley Benton strings are brilliant. Feel and sound like Roto Sounds to me.
Still haven't gone dull yet after months.

Perfectly Decent Strings at a Steal!
It's been a while but I remember going from Elixir's to these to experiment gauges cheaply and felt they weren't as slick (obviously) but nothing major and sounded slightly darker like Ernie Balls.
At these awesome prices, I'd gladly use Harley Benton strings all the time for personal/bedroom demo use IF there were more gauges or expand on their six string packs of single 10s and 11s, etc. with many more. I'd personally love packs of .10x6, .135x6, .20wx6, .26x6, .34x6, .46x6 ;)
perfect for the $$
the cheapest ones I got, but still sound good enough for my guitars
The strings are inexpensive and at the same time it is not aliexpress
Strings for everyday use
Budget strings that feel and sound nice. I use them many, many years for all my guitars and they do the job. No string breaks (and I am not a light picker), no rusting (and my hands do sweat a bit) and they hold the tune very well after some stretching. I use them for fixed bridges as well as some Bigsby tremolos, and they do the job nicely. No complaints whatsoever and for the price it is worth it. They have an average lifetime and if you wipe them off after play, they'll last a good span of time.
They work ok.
I got a few sets of these to try out and I've been pleasantly surprised. When you take them from the packet they kind of feel cheap....I can't describe why....but when on the guitar they work great. I have them on several guitars now and they've all lasted well and don't seem to need changing yet after several months and frequent playing....which for me is at home only.
If I were gigging again I'd possibly get 'better' strings just to be sure, but probably these would actually do the job well enough.
If you're on a budget or just noodle at home these are worth risking a few euro on to try out.
The big boys need to move over!
These are bright, full bodied, don't cut your fingers up and last as long as your D'addario, Ernie ball or Dunlop sets.
For a fifth of the price? It's true!
Bulk buy like I do, you won't regret it.
Ok strings
String feel a bit rough to the fingers, but top for the price.
amazing for the price !
really good string and cheap !
Cheapest strings ever and VERY GOOD
I have used these for a while now and i have not noticed a big difference to basic ernie ball or d'addario strings. I would love them to last a little longer, but thats the same with all not coated strings. Never had these snapping randomly.
Highly recommended!
Very good price but i didn't tried them yet.I hope that they are good!
Super strings for the price
These are good quality strings, just as good as the main brands except these are extremely affordable. Definitely going to stock up on these next time I order
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.
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.
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.
