PRS Starla - Which Tonepro bridge replacement?

Which Tonepro tunematic and/or stoptail is a direct fit for the PRS Starla?
Or perhaps any other brand from Stewmac?

Thanks.

no stoptail options, but the bridge would be the "nashville" version.

I emailed PRS and when I mentioned ABR or Nashville - the douche is saying is that an industry term because he has not heard of it. But he did say he will go to the production line and get me specs.

Can you believe this shit!?!?
It's a ****ing bridge and I don't want to buy both to figure it out.
The local guitar store says I have to buy it to try it.
The local tech says he can only tell me if I am willing to pay for evaluation.

Holy shit - WTF?

PRS as a manufacturer should be telling me things instead of leading me the wrong way. Yes it's a nashville bridge (you made that clear and I appreciate that) but certain bridges have small post and a large post - I don't know which one.

Honestly I expressed my frustration with PRS - did you have to make it personal?
Let me lecture you on forums. People join to learn and contribute and occasionally share their frustrations. You really should be not insulting other members.

woah, I wasn't referring to you!

there is only one kind of "nashville" bridge currently out there. the "large post" bridge with screwdriver slots in the posts is something else entirely.
