Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 11-52

I ordered 12 sets of these strings twice, so in total I have a experience of 24 sets. First order sets were good quality and the sound is good when the strings are fresh. With second order I had major quality issues with the strings. With about 5-6 sets the high E-string broke while changing strings and once twice in a row. I had to change back to my old string brand because of this.

I also didn't like that string are packed in individual plastic packagings inside a plastic string package. This is very unecological.

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.

These strings dont hold tune very well.
Daddario do though.

Tarnished out of the pack, a bit too much stretch when new. Spend a few dollars more on D'addarios, they'll sound better and last longer.

OK for spares, the kids, cheap guitars.

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

+ great price
+ sound ok
+ they feel good

- the 011 - 014 - 018 strings are not flexible enough, so you can't restring your guitar with the same strings that you have used before, or they will break.
- sound a little bit too agressive for me

...but very good for the prize. They sound quite good and full (because of the thickness), but don't last too long. But they are very cheap.

Cheap way to keep backup of strings...
