Stevensville, MD (June 25, 2009) -- PRS Guitars announces two new additions to the PRS family: the Starla Stoptail and the 59/09 Pickup.
Starla Stoptail
The all new Starla Stoptail has the same retro-inspired vibe as its predecessor (the Bigsby fitted Starla model) with one noticeable difference: it features a two-piece, adjustable stoptail bridge that dramatically alters the look and feel.
