Paul Reed Smith Starla
Paul Reed Smith Starla
Paul Reed Smith Starla - Similar in spirit to the double cutaway Mira model, the single cutaway Starla has many vintage themed appointments and is PRS Guitars' first solidbody electric guitar featuring a standard Bigsby B5 tail piece and a Grover Tune-O-Matic bridge. The guitar also includes exclusive Starla Treble and Bass pickups.

PRS accents the solid mahogany Starla guitar body with a 24-1/2" scale rosewood fingerboard, a solid mahogany neck and jaybird inlays. Proprietary Alnico magnets incorporated into the pickup design contribute to the guitar's unique clean and crisp sound, but are also capable of rich harmonic overtones when driven. Other features of the PRS Starla guitar include a uniquely shaped black plastic pick guard, tone and volume pots; and a three-way pickup selector.

Historical notes:
The original PRS Starla was introduced in 2008. It was discontinued in 2013, with the introduction of the PRS Starla S2 model.
The single-cutaway PRS Starla Stoptail is identical to its sibling model, with the exception of a traditional stop tailpiece instead of the Bigsby vibrato. The Starla Stoptail is lightweight, comfortable, sassy, and surprisingly affordable for a US-made electric.
