Not very good...

onet 05.06.2019

I've never used coated strings before so I cannot compare these to the more renowned brands such as Elixirs, but one thing's for sure: these strings sound completely different than your ordinary nickel-plated strings.
Quality-wise the strings are fine, none of them snapped during use, they felt quite normal to play and they did stay rust-free for a long time, as you'd expect.
Now about their sound. The very moment I strung up my guitar and hit the first chord, I was quite shocked, the strings sounded like the oldest and most heavily used nickel plated strings that I've played. Imagine a normal set of strings that was played for months, very dull and lacking any clarity, that's the kind of sound I got with these.
Now, some people might enjoy the sound, I however certainly don't.
For the money it was worth the try though, no big loss. If you're really on a budget, I recommend the standard nickel-plated strings from HB, they're dirt cheap and certainly more usable.

Bargain price for strings

I tried these strings with a Les Paul type guitar. Compared to the other strings I've used by other brands, these sounded a little dull, but apart from that they are very durable. As the price is about the lowest I can find, and thats the best part of the set, I still rate these good strings for electric guitar. But personally I will buy more expensive strings in the future - in order to get the desired clear sound.

Edullinen päällystetty kielisetti

Maunu 25.06.2026

Soitettuani pitkään Harley Bentonin ValueStrings -kielillä, päätin kokeilla hieman hinnakkaampaa (mutta silti huippuedullista) vaihtoehtoa samalta valmistajalta: päällystettyjä kieliä.

ValueStrings-tuotteisiin verrattuna nämä päällystetyt kielet ovat monessa suhteessa parempilaatuisia:
- Kielet ovat kauniin tasaisen värisiä. Päällystekerros selkeästi tekee kielistä upean näköiset.
- Kielet soivat ehkä hivenen kirkkaammin ja heleämmin (tämä voi olla korkeamman hinnan aiheuttama lumevaikutus - en ole mitannut kielten taajuusspektriä).

En ole kuitenkaan huomannut merkittävää eroa kielten käyttöiässä:
- Ohuin kieli napsahtaa poikki aivan yhtä usein kuin halvemman kielisetin kohdalla.
- Kielten pinnalla oleva kirkas päällyste kuluu hiljalleen pois erityisesti niistä kohdista, joissa käsieni ja sormieni iho on eniten kosketuksissa kielten kanssa - erityisesti tallan tienoilta paksumpien kielten osalta (kämmensyrjän demppauksen vuoksi). Kieli muuttuu punertavaksi/kuparinväriseksi niistä kohdista, joista pinnoite kuluu pois.

Voin kaikesta huolimatta suositella tätä pinnoitettua kielisettiä kaikille kitaristeille. Kielet ovat upean hohtavan näköiset uutena ja huokean hinnan vuoksi kielten vaihtovälin voi pitää lyhyenä. Kielet kannattanee vaihtaa heti kun pinnoite alkaa kulua pois ja kielet alkavat muuttua punertaviksi.

Great if you run them in

Mr Greggles 12.10.2018

I thought I would try these because they are coated strings for the price of uncoated. I bought 9s first but have since bought 10s as well.
I was a bit disappointed to start with, they are noticeably less bright than uncoated strings - with Elixirs I struggle to hear the difference (with my gear and my old ears). The worst thing was they feel odd, a little rough to the touch when sliding up and down the fretboard. I nearly took them off again.
Due to circumstances (I couldn't be arsed to change them) I persisted and found that, once worn in, they develop a really good feel - as good as Elixirs. I've continued to use them and they are lasting really well. I've never had any problems with the 10s though I did break a 9 but that was my fault.
If you are prepared to spend a little time running them in and don't want the very brightest tone these strings will repay you with a great experience and a long life at an amazing price.
