Great budget end coated string
Anonymous 14.12.2016
Purchased for a Harley Benton ST-62 ST style guitar that only gets played once or twice a week at home and for the odd recording project.

Strings are nicely boxed in individual plastic wrappers and don't look like budget end strings.

After installing, the strings settled in quickly and kept stable tuning, initially they feel a little sticky to the touch but this became less noticeable after a few hours of playing, they also aren't quite as bright/twangy as a new set of strings usually are when first installed.

These strings do last longer than standard strings and resist tarnishing and buildup better too.

I'd recommend for anyone looking for a cheaper coated string for a backup instrument that isn't played often or just wants a budget string that doesn't need to be changed as often.

Amazing for the price!
Teejay 2112 15.05.2020
These strings feel good, sound good when you put them on, keep sounding good for a long time and are ludicrously cheap compared to branded coated strings.
I got one set when I made an order to try them. (Mitigates the shipping cost). The next order included a dozen sets, I liked them that much!!
Bottom line, you won't regret buying these!!

Save money - try these….
Barcelli 22.09.2021
These string do everything i need them to do.
Reheasal in our amateur band, playing a bunch of gigs for a dancing, not listening and analyzing audience - they do the job absolutely ok.
If i was a Cory Wong or some other guitar hero with an incredible clean sound these would probably not be my choice.
But for me they fit both my needs and my wallet….

I was using Elixirs up until now, but these HB strings are cheaper and sound great. They seem to last as long as Elixirs too

Seemed great at first....
Rocky_L 13.12.2021
I've bought these and a set of 10's to try out.
I loved the packaging, but that's about it.
Tried them on a Fender Telecaster, I played a chord and you barely could hear 1st & 2nd string. Feeling was okay, but some of the strings lasted only 3 days. They snap so easily.. They're are not even reliable to be used as a spare string in the middle of the show. Shame....

First impression is pretty good, we shall see if they last as long as coated strings from another brands that starts with E.

Extra points for nice packaging, all strings come in their own wrapper with gauges clearly marked, makes things easier and doesn't feel like a 'budget' product at all.

Cool sounding strings
Graeme 312 16.12.2019
I fitted these to a Strat type guitar and they are really nice. They dont sound thin and clicky like Elixor, but have a nice tone albeit slightly thinner than a conventional string.

Wow

I bought these to try, since they were part of a guitar order, delivery was free.
Not sure why I didn't expect much from these, but I have been using daddario XL and NYXLs for a few years. Don't get me wrong, the XL and NYXL are excellent strings, but I will now do some bulk ordering of these next time I make a purchase that will allow free shipping. Very very nice strings and they last really well.
Cost prohibitive for me in the UK to just buy a few packets, but a bargain if part of a bigger order.

The best compromise of price, quality and durability.
Snoozeboy 06.09.2024
Are they as good as Elixers? No, but at 1/4 of the price, Elixers are more like 20% better, not 4x better.

the high E and B tend to snap if stretched too carelessly when restringing, but when you replace with a standard, uncoated E or B, you notice how quickly it rusts compared with these uncoated strings.

These are ALAZING....They last for a YEAR (just dry them off)?.I've NEVER BROKEN ANY.They DO NOT RUST.....and they are ONE THIRD the cost of ELIXIRS (Which I LOVE) BUT 22.50 Vs. 6.99?????, Stunning?.
And when I discovered Elixers I was BLOWN AWAY.....When tou have 20 PLUS guitars RUST DOES BECOME AN ISSUE.....Unless you are Mike Campbell or Joe Perry or somebody who has FULL TIME guy watching over you're BABYS. And take my word for it......HB's DO NOT RUST ,Carrode oe any of THAT BS.....Wipe 'em off & you're GOOD TO GO...?.Sorry D'Adderio Erine & Gibbo?.It's ben wonderfuil... But there's the DOOR...
