Harley Benton Coated Phosphor 010 Anti Rust

When I first saw the price for these strings I had my doubts about the quality, but after playing them for one season I must say I am really impressed. Similar Anti rust strings usually cost a lot more and if you have to change them on regular basis that can be quite expensive for a working musician. I play 100-150 gigs a year and costs for the strings can be quite big. With these you get the quality and a superb tone at a resonable price. I must mention one thing - these strings do not sound bright as some others - and that suits me just fine. After using a lot of different brand strings over the years I was always searching for that quality/price ratio that would give me the sound that I need at a resonable price - and Harley Benton strings have met all my expectations. Each string in the package is protected by nylon foil and the package it self is nice and sturdy. These will not break if you do a lot of string bending like I do and they will stay fresh for weeks and months after mounting them on your guitar. Highly recommended for everyone who wants a budget strings at a great price. Play on!

I've originally bought and installed them on a cheap classical guitar before I learned that they use different strings. Then I got a western one which also needed new strings so decided to cheap out and temporarily use these in my western until my next Thomann order.

But it's been a few months and they still sound great, show no sign of rust, no damage from the guitar transplant and I am in no hurry to replace them because the quality punches way above their price. I'm quite impressed and a fan now.

Don't get fooled by the cheap-looking packaging; the actual strings are a pleasant surprise.
