I think they are made in the far east and assembled in Germany. But that said, a Starplayer used in our band has a really good mix of tones though. Great rhythm guitars tending to the Gretch side of things. Worth a tryout.

They have their own sound going. The Starplayer has their proprietary p90 in the neck and humbucker in the bridge.

I have one of their tremolos on my Sheraton II. It's quality and ease of installation are amassing. The only thing I don't like about them is they tend to be too gaudy/blingy for my taste, but, having a lot of experience with Germany, that's understandable. Last edited: Oct 3, 2020

Mirr also builds for Reverend, Pure Salem and a few others. Pretty high end stuff with a price tag to match for the most part. Little extravagant for my tastes but to each their own I guess.

I have this one on layaway at Guitar Rez. Obviously, I like them, a lot. It’s my understanding that they are made elsewhere (China, Japan, Korea?) and are assembled in Germany. The fit, finish, hardware, electronics are superlative, IMO. They are pricey new. Mine was/is $2000. I like every one I have played. They are long scale, and their trem/vibrato/whatever is the best and smoothest I have ever experienced. Restringing is a breeze, too. To quote my favorite wife, “What’s not to like?”
