how are they different and similar in playing style. i have the popstar and love it and might consider the St. Eel since they are similar in size so i was just wondering what the St. Eel plays like.

So yeah, I’d say if you loved the popstar, you’ll like the steel.

I totally disagree my ministar 90$$ plays amazing and cant even compare to the popstar which is a begginer metal.  
and as far as the st. eel I hear really good things about it and you cant go wrong if you chose to purchase it.
