Harley Benton HQS EL 11-52 Coated

I play tunned to C standard and just love these strings. Soundwise they may lack some crispiness, but nonetheless they do sound good!
I may not use them for recording sessions, but for concerts they are awesome, and being cheaper means i can change my strings more often which i just love. Always have a set on my in my guitar case or backpack, but never have broken on me which i was afraid of because of the price.

this is the 1st time i have ever used coated guitar strings and they seam to be ok i did think that you might feel the coating on them but you do not feel the coating at all on them and these coated strings are a lot cheaper to buy than the other major brands that make coated guitar strings well worth buying if you want to try out coated guitar for the 1st time like i did

I typically use Daddario chromes, because I like how they feel and how warm they sound. I got these on a whim, having never tried Harley Benton strings before. Even keeping the price in mind, these were a bit of a letdown and didn't stay on my guitar for very long. Lacking in playability and tone, I wouldn't recommend these for more than practicing at home. Even then, one could probably spend just a few bucks more and get a much better set of strings.

Living at just a few meters from the sea in a tropical climate, humidity and salinity (in the air) are an all year- around hazard for any strings. Tired of spending tons on branded ones (e.g. Elixir), I decided to try the HB coated strings and, though the tone is a bit on the crispy and bright sound spectrum, and the coating job may not be of excellence, I found the HQS strings to be very acceptable, durable and of unbeatable price for its quality.

I decided to give the brand a try after reading the reviews; I'll install them as soon as my current strings need replacing.

Great set of strings for any performer. They might have the usual dullness that the coated strings usually have so might not be ideal for recording, however if you want something that will last a long time and does not cost an arm and a leg, these will do for sure.
