“The same professional versatility and playability as its PLUS counterpart but without all the fancy aesthetics”: Harley Benton rolls out a hot-rodded S-style for under $200 with the all-new ST-Modern HSS

Harley Benton ST-Modern HSS.

That’s because there is. This is the “no frills” variant of the ST-Modern HSS PLUS and it offers plenty of change from 200 bucks. But we still have figured maple veneered options in Flame Bengal and Flame Blue Burst, which when combined with the pearloid pickguards, binding on the body’s top, makes for a very handsome looking instrument.
