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.
