Starla Electric Guitar with Bird Inlays

The single-cutaway PRS Guitars Starla is an electric guitar that has many vintage-themed appointments. The Starla is PRS Guitars' first solidbody electric guitar that has a standard Bigsby B5 tailpiece and a Grover Tune-o-matic-style bridge. The Starla 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.

Pattern Regular Shape
Neck shapes have always been a high priority for PRS and a hallmark of PRS quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like "home," as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The new "Pattern Regular" neck shape is similar to the traditional PRS regular neck found on guitars made in the late 80's at PRS's former Virginia Avenue location.

V12 Finish
Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' new "V12" finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, "V12" is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. "PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments," said Paul Reed Smith.
