PRS S2 Starla unboxed
Paul Reed Smith and co have done the impossible: PRS has unleashed a new range of USA-made electric solidbodies at half the price of the USA equivalent PRS models.
One of these new guitars is the S2 Starla, a guitar that aims to snag players who might have been put off by the high price tags of existing PRS USA guitars. Not only that, but this £1,095 RRP guitar looks pretty sweet, too – as we’re sure you’ll agree as you check out our unboxing shots.
For the full review of the PRS S2 Starla, check out Total Guitar issue 245, on sale 2 September.
