Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 11-52 5-stars Reviews

Very suprised

9 gauge seemed to be very mediocre when 11 gauge is killer when it comes to value. I use it on Tele with 3 barrels. For very cheap strings have a good sound and quality. When it comes to intonation it's perfect. You can spend some few euro's more but what for if the difference will be so small.

Very good product.

Just absolute great value for money

Not the best strings in the world, but at these prices you can change strings every day. Absolute the greatest value for money possible. Would recommend.

Decent strings for very little

I use this strings for my travel guitar as the strings corrode very fast and I did not want to put an expensive set on a not so great sounding guitar.

The quality is very adequeate. The playability is not bad at all. It will not compare with the likes of Elixir or Ernie Ball but at this price point you should not expect to.

Will definitely buy again. Also great to have a cheap spare set just in case.

Good strings

These strings are good, not just for the money good but actually good. They hold tune, last well and sound great. Can't ask for more from a set of strings.

Better Than Ernies?

Previous to buying these i had always used Ernie Balls , i was fooled by the long list of names on the back of the packet , i thought they were " special " just because some of my guitar heroes names appeared on the back of the packet , but i took a chance out of curiosity one day , bought these , night and day difference , i dont even know how to describe it but they just feel and sound better , they last longer too somehow , my ernie balls on my ESP broke before these did on my Dean , almost two weeks difference between them , these Harley Bentons lasted two weeks longer before breaking , TWO WEEKS , they are very bright and resonant, all i can say is id strongly recommend them and dont be fooled by the price , they are awesome

You get what you pay for

I decided to try these since I live in a place where guitar strings get easily corroded by the climate (humid and close to the sea) which implied i have to change them quite often. playing only few times per month I decided to buy ten sets to cover the entire season so I could change them for every gig without spending too much, if not almost any money!

Pros: the super low price doesn't make you worry about changing them very often. the 011 had a good tuning stability despite the climate. They resisted very well to my heavy picking without going out of tune or breaking (when new). Despite the price, they sound ok for most things!

Cons: don't expect to use them for more than one or two gigs in a row, they will either break or get rusty very quickly. Playability is not very good, I felt a lot of friction when moving my hands on the neck and they feel rough to the touch.

I would recommend this product to everyone the wants to change strings very very often without worrying about their wallet. For the price, definitely worth it!

great strings for such a cheap price too!

For the moderate player, these are good

I bought these because i needed a heavier set of strings for some lower tuning, the overtones die out in 2-3 months but at this price i bought more and changed them frequently, I personally like the feeling of fresh strings.

Cheap. Good. I am happy.

I have a really angry character of playing the guitar, so very often my strings tear. These are perfect for that price.

Great strings

I've experimented with a lot of strings so far and I have to tell these did not disappoint.

The tone is not breathtaking but then again its not crappy either and it stays regular throughout time. No surprises.

They keep tune quite well and this for me is why they are good bang for buck. They also intonate well if you are wondering.

I haven't broken any, and tbh, if you have then check your guitar setup because something is wrong with it. These strings are reliable.

They do tarnish quite badly but if you clean them up properly after use you will be able to keep them going great.

Superb value

You won't find something like this anywhere else I guess.

These strings are some very good sounding nichel-plated roundwounds, with a good tension and a not too rough surface in my opinion, which come very, very cheap! Actually I'm loving this gauge set, which is very full sounding and lets me experiment with some slightly downtuned tunes.

Honestly you can't go wrong with these

Product better than expected

Each string was individually wrapped in a sealed plastic pouch. No corrosion on any of them. Sound and play fine. Surprisingly good quality.

Total bargain

Use these on a hollow body guitar for funky lead stuff mainly.

Stay in tune, can take abuse, and sound pretty bright.

I use rotosounds on other guitars and that extra E does help, however you can buy about four of five packets of these bad boys for the same price.

Definetly worth your custom

As good as more expensive brands

These strings are at least equal in quality as the cheaper strings of much more well known brands.

I wouldn't even mind using them for recording, they are durable and hold tune and intonation over a long period of time.

u cant go wrong

ive been playing guitars for quite awhile (coming to 10 years) and i dont know about u guys but i cant tell a difference in sound of the stings i used over the years. feel, yes, but not something u cant get over if u play for so long.

so my 2 cents are, why buy more expensive strings if u cant tell the difference, its not like they have brand stamps on the string it self. another is, if ure just playing in your room or just small gigs around your area, u might want to save some of that money for something much better, like maybe a better amp, which is gonna make a more noticeable difference. or for a good recording studio, trust me, investing in a good recording studio is gonna go a long way.

Price wise, nothing compares.

Bargain set of strings for little money. Just buy them.

GREAT BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

AAAAAAAAAAAAA PRODUCT FOR PRICE CANT BE BEAT ON THESE STRINGS GREAT AND EASY TO FIT AND A VERY FAIR PRICE AND ABLE TO BUY 4X MORE THAN PRICE OF BIGGER NAME BRANDS GREAT FOR US NORMAL HOBBIE GUITAR PEOPLE AAAAA

Great Strings

Does exactly what they say on the tin, standard steel strings, they sound great and last the usual amount of time as long as you don't have corrosive sweat, quality is all there, I would honestly compare them to the likes of dunlop and d'addario (they're the only big name strings i've used in the past in this guage, currently using dean markley in 12's and 13's tuned lower and the harley bentons feel just as nice) would recommend them to anyone, especially at this price point, you really cant go wrong, as long as youre a string stretcher then youre not going to have any tuning issues with these, they last, theyre stable, they sound nice, i really cant say anything more except BUY THEM !!!!! ESPECIALLY IN BULK, YOU WOULD BE MAD NOT TO !!!!!!

Will be using these again!

5 packs of these for the price of one of my regular Dadarrios, I wasn't really expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised. If there is any difference at all, its minimal, I've done three rehearsals, a gig and a good few hours playing at home and they still sound good. I think I'm converted!

Now These Are Strings

As with most guitar players, I've tried all manner of strings in a variety of gauges. All the usual suspects and a lot of the 'boutique' and 'barking' brigade too. Never though have I tried a set of strings that instantly made me feel and sound like a better guitar player, until now.

I have to say, for a Euro I wasn't expecting much, and if the balls had fallen off the end I would have just shrugged and reached for something else, but they genuinely have exceeded every expectation and quite a few hopes.

For a start, out of the packet they weren't corroded. I know they shouldn't be, but too often new strings seem to come with the newness already waning. No problem here though.

Next, no floppiness. Again, especially with cheaper strings I've often found them to be quite flimsy - even 11s - but these were again perfect straight out of the packet.

And once they were on, well wow. They feel great, sound stunning and stay in tune. WHat else is there?
