Paul Reed Smith Guitars presents the Starla, the first PRS solid body guitar to feature a standard Bigsby B5 tail piece and a Grover Tune-O-Matic bridge.
Similar in spirit to the double cutaway Mira model introduced at Experience PRS 2007, the single cutaway Starla has many vintage themed appointments. It also includes exclusive Starla Treble and Bass pickups.
The solid mahogany Starla body is accented with a 24 ½” scale rosewood fingerboard, a solid mahogany neck and dot inlays or optional bird 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 include a uniquely shaped black plastic pick guard, tone and volume pots and a three-way pickup selector.
