Harley Benton HQS EL 9-42

Well I believed that these will be much better than valuestrings. I was wrong, they went muddy really fast, what's more, they leave black stains on my fingers

When I put them on at the beginning they came out of tune many times and I had to play them a little bit although I had stretched them quite tightly before. Besides that they are ok.

I wanted it to be a step up from Harley's Value Strings. But these "high quality" strings are a total disaster! They become dull and unpleasent very soon. The nickel plate wears off quickly, so after a few weeks they look like they're all rusted (or maybe they are, because they get a copper colour where you play them the most). I don't recall that kind of problem for any other strings. I do not recommend these strings.

i Think this string will be my favorite strings for trening guitar.

I am the 9-42 enjoyer. These strings were used in many of my guitars used for gigs. They are great!
