PRS S2 Starla

PRS S2 Starla

A single-cutaway mahogany solidbody USA PRS with twin humbuckers and a very un-PRS- like Bigsby B50 vibrato.

Ibanez AT10P

This signature electric for all- round guitar god Andy Timmons comes with an alder body, maple neck, Wilkinson vibrato, and three DiMarzio humbuckers for versatile rock tones.
