A Maryland-made beauty from PRS!

The 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 Starla has a personality all its own.

Paul Reed Smith Starla at a Glance:
  • Legacy
  • Construction

Legacy
Similar in spirit to the double cutaway Mira model introduced at Experience PRS 2007, 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.

Construction
The solid mahogany Starla body is accented with a 24 1/2" scale rosewood fingerboard, a solid mahogany neck, and either standard 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.
