This is one of 10

How do you know that? Mine is an 09. I am betting yours is from the same run as mine. I received it in late 2009.

It was an adventure for sure going through the process of the custom order. I am fairly certain that there were 5 made when I ordered mine and haven't seen any runs since then. I don't know if PRS could tell me how many they made at that time.

I was told this from the guy I acquired it from. I do know it’s a short run. Even better if it’s one of 5

I believe he is wrong. I know for sure that my order caused these to be made. There were some issues when getting it made so I had more communication with PRS than the typical order. That is how I have more information about this than most people would have on it.

The first of the rare gold covered Starla pups. Birdseye self-supplied back in the good ol’ days.



And the first “color striped” swamp ash back

Dream guitar! But I think all of your guitars are dreams for most of us

Y’all are sleeping on this guitar if you haven’t checked them out.
Rock ‘n Roll machine, they are.

Is your title a reference to "Streetcar Named Desire"?

I love my Starla SE, that's in my icon. Such an amazing and underrated guitar. So versatile, sounds very good and easy to play, super ergonomic. I got with a nice discount as it was sitting in the shop for around a year and nobody was interested on it except me! The only mod was PRS SE locking tuners.

Does this sort of count?

At one time, I owned three 2009 Starla's. It was one of those guitars where people would often comment on the sound. I played them exclusively for about three years. I finally got tired of changing strings, with the Bigsby. I put a Vibramate Spoiler on the guitars to make string changes easier. I sold then off between 2017 to 2021, as I found other great sounding PRS guitars. I put a set of Starla pickups in a couple of other guitars and sold a Starla with a gig bag and GFS Dream 180 pickups. I still use the HSC for my S2 Singlecut Semi-Hollow.

PS: I knew Phil Miller from the OP video, when I lived in Chicago 30 years ago. Great guy and great player!
