NAMM 2025: Harley Benton has unveiled the ST-Modern Plus HH, a dual-humbucker version of its HSS S-style that arrives with a pearloid pickguard, sweet solid-colour and metallic flake finishes, and fixed bridge, it is a design that calls to mind Tom DeLonge’s Strat.
And that, surely, is the inspiration here, at least aesthetically. But looks can be a deceiving. When you dig a little deeper, the ST-Modern Plus HH has versatility on its mind. It’s quite a different instrument.
