From Our Research Team:

A Maryland-made beauty from PRS!

The PRS Starla is the first solidbody electric guitar from Paul Reed Smith that features a Bigsby B5 tail piece and a Grover Tune-o-matic bridge. It sports a mahogany body, a 22-fret wide-fat neck, vintage-style tuners, and Starla Treble and Bass pickups that give you a clean, crisp tone that breaks into a range of rich harmonic overtones when you drive it hard. Offered in a variety of colors, its spirit is in line with the extremely popular Mira, but the PRS Starla gives you a vibe all its own.

PRS Starla Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Part of the illustrious PRS legacy of guitar innovation
  • Built to deliver the clean and crisp tone you're sure to love
  • A comfortably shorter scale makes this solidbody electric guitar a real pleasure to play

Part of the illustrious PRS legacy of guitar innovation
Similar in spirit to the double cutaway Mira model introduced at Experience PRS 2007, the single cutaway PRS Starla gives you many vintage-themed appointments. In fact, the Starla is the first PRS solidbody electric guitar that features a genuine Bigsby B5 tail piece and a real Grover Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Built to deliver the clean and crisp tone you're sure to love
PRS's Starla solidbody electric guitar also introduced another first for PRS - a set of exclusive Starla Treble and Bass pickups. Unlike most PRS humbuckers, these proprietary Alnico magnet-based models were designed to give you a distinctly clean and crisp sound across the majority of their dynamic range. However, when you really push your Starla, you'll be rewarded with rich harmonic overtones that sound great when you use it to drive a tube amp just past the breakup point. A 3-way pickup selector also gives you access to an impressively wide range of tone.

A comfortably shorter scale makes this solidbody electric guitar a real pleasure to play
As opposed to PRS's higher-tension 25"-scale models, the solid mahogany Starla body gives you an extremely malleable 24-1/2" scale rosewood fingerboard on it solid mahogany neck. This slightly shorter scale feels great under your fingertips and lets you preform bends with a light touch. It also complements the easy action of the Starla's Bigsby tremolo beautifully.

PRS Starla Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • A classically mid-20th-century-style solidbody electric guitar that gives you smooth action and a wide range of tone
  • 24-1/2" rosewood fingerboard is perfect for performing expressive bends
  • Genuine Bigsby B5 tailpiece and Grover Tune-O-Matic bridge lets you pull off long and gentle tremolo bends effortlessly
  • Proprietary Starla humbucking pickups deliver a clean and crisp tone that breaks up gently when pushed
  • Traditional Wide Fat neck carve feels comfortably solid in your hand
  • Hardshell case included

Get classic feel, rich sound, and smooth action from a PRS Starla solidbody electric guitar from Sweetwater!

Classic Guitar the Starla

by Rob from Phila, PA
August 21, 2012
Music Background: Pro
PRS hits it out of the ball park with this guitar. The bixby tail and quick action make this guitar so much fun to play, and it stays in tune!!!

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.
