“Engineered to be loud, fast, and absolutely zero fun for your neighbours”: Harley Benton unleashes a $185 shred-ready hotrod with a roasted maple neck and dual-humbuckers

Harley Benton ST-Modern HH 2026: New models with metallic finishes.

Harley Benton guitars are notoriously affordable but even so the German budget gear brand’s latest drop raises the bar for the spec we could expect to see on an electric guitar for beginners, as the ST-Modern HH, list price approx 185 bucks, arrives resplendent in metallic finishes with roasted maple necks as standard.

This kind of luxury is most welcome. Indeed, the return of the ST-Modern HH, featuring dual humbuckers (hence the “HH” designation), is most welcome. Harley Benton offers it in five metallic finishes: Red Radiant Metallic, Root Beer Metallic, Desert Metallic, Tangerine Metallic, and Purple Metallic.
