PRS S2 Starla With Bigsby, Mahogany 2014

No longer available in this form, the PRS S2 Starla with Bigsby was first introduced in 2008 as the Starla, the only PRS model using a Bigsby vibrato unit. Presently, the Starla fits in the PRS line at a higher price and with a hardtail.

Using a simple construction style, the PRS S2 Starla with Bigsby combines a Mahogany neck with Mahogany body and a 22-fret Indian Rosewood fingerboard. The neck joint has a nicely asymmetrical heel that’s quite comfortable and helps with access to the upper frets. Position markers are the distinctive PRS birds. A new model of humbucking pickup with twelve adjustable pole pieces is used, but the wiring is otherwise standard with master volume and tone and a 3-way selector switch. Standard PRS locking tuners are at the head, and at the other end there’s a Tune-O-Matic style bridge and a ‘licensed’ Bigsby B50 true vibrato tailpiece. The term ‘licensed’ means, with Bigsby, that the unit is made outside the USA under license. These are functionally but not dimensionally identical to a US-made unit – they are metric, while US made Bigsbys use Imperial measure (inches).

This PRS S2 Starla  is a very good, US made guitar, with all of the quality that PRS is known for.

Sold with its original gig bag.
