WTB: PRS Mira/Starla Core

Hi fellas, 

Mira
After having been stupid enough to sell off not one, not two but three Miras, I want a fourth one that hopefully won't be sold... Pretty much the only requirement I have is that the neck must be the pattern regular and not wide thin, and I'm not too keen on a Mira X unless I can try it out first.

It can be a standard all mahogany Mira, the standard with a maple top or very preferably the 245 Soapbar with P90s! Fancy, uncommon finishes are also very welcome and I would really like bird inlays, although I have never seen one with bird inlays and pattern regular neck... Could anyone confirm if that is actually a thing, by the way? If bird inlays equal wide thin neck? 

I would also apprecciate dearly if you could be honest whether the guitar is neck heavy, as I'm more of a singer that also plays guitar in my band it would be great if the guitar doesn't pretend to be a scuba diver if I put my hands on the mic stand for half a second... 

Starla Stoptail
Very rare guitar that I can't even find any old ads for in the UK, seems to be to the Mira what the SC Les Paul Special is to the DC Les Paul Special which is usually my preference.

I won't bother writing too much on this as I don't really expect to get any enquiries for one, pretty much the same preferences as with the Mira but as long as it's hardtail and all mahogany I'm interested!  



I'm located close to the Liverpool City Center, and I have some gold (money) and loads of stuff to trade so I'm sure we'll come to an agreement. Just to be clear, if you want cash only I will be able to provide that  


Cheers

    Cheers! I have, but I would prefer to find a used one from the core series as they go cheaper than a new S2 and have some really nice details the S2 doesn't have. That being said, I would consider an S2 Singlecut for the right price.

    I had a Mira Korina with birds and a regular neck.  I can't say for certain you could get a mahogany one with the same spec, but I don't remember ever reading that you couldn't.

    Cheers, I did come across it but didn't know that they have had it for so long. The price is way too high though, I can get a really nice used 10 top Singlecut for less and I would be surprised if they would drop it that much. I did send them a message though, they might surprise me  =)

    That is interesting, I thought the Korinas came with wide thin regardless of inlays, but as I came over an old ad yesterday with a mahogany Mira with birds and regular neck, I think we can mark that mystery as resolved  ;)
