PRS S2 Starla with Dots Inlay 2013 - 2018 - Vintage Cherry

This 2013 PRS S2 Starla in Vintage Cherry comes from the very first year of PRS's American-made S2 series. With its beveled mahogany body, Bigsby vibrato, black pickguard, and dot inlays, the Starla has a distinctly different look from the more familiar PRS designs. The transparent red finish lets the wood grain show through, and the color carries all the way around to the back of the guitar and neck.

The Vintage Cherry finish has plenty of depth, especially where the light catches the beveled edges. The nickel hardware, covered humbuckers, and Bigsby B50 give it a slightly vintage appearance without losing the clean PRS styling. It's also a fairly lightweight guitar at 7.72 lbs on my scale.

The neck has PRS's Pattern Regular profile, measuring 21.5 mm at the first fret and 23.8 mm at the 12th. Playability is excellent, with low, effortless action, smooth frets, and easy bends. It has received a recent setup, and the intonation is spot on. The Bigsby operates smoothly and holds tuning fairly well, too.

Electronics are completely original, including the PRS S2 Starla Treble and Bass humbuckers. The three-way blade selector handles the pickup combinations, while the push/pull tone control provides coil-splitting for additional single-coil options. All electronics passed inspection and function correctly.

Condition is Very Good, leaning toward Excellent in several areas. The body presents clean and glossy, with some light finish scratches here and there. There are a few scuffs on the back of the body, along with a scuff on the back of the headstock, all photographed for reference. The frets and fretboard are in excellent condition, and there are no cracks, finish checking, or headstock repairs. The guitar remains entirely original with no modifications.

Includes a gig bag.
