Harley Benton HQS EL 9-42

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.
