Classic vintage style in an All-American beauty.

The PRS S2 Vela is the perfect pairing of vintage-inspired looks in a quality built axe that is made to be played. The vintage cherry finish satin-nitro finish lets the gorgeous mahogany wood grain shine, and is super comfortable to play up the neck. A coil-tapped bridge pickup as well as the rich sounding Type-D Single Coil neck pickup gives the guitar a wide tonal variety, and the semi-hollow body adds an extra level of warmth and class. One of the best features of this guitar is how superbly light it is. The mahogany set neck gives you plenty of sustain, but you'll feel like you're playing a cloud, which makes it a perfect guitar for those long gigs on stage.

Manufacturer's Description:

The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow Satin is a vintage-inspired guitar with loads of personality and tonal textures. The Vela boasts a contemporary offset body shape, and the addition of a semi-hollow body and satin nitro finish gives the Vela added attitude and resonance with a truly addictive feel.

Its pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS DS-01 pickup in the bridge, providing a bright, punky tone and the PRS-Designed Type-D Single-Coil in the neck that gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the bridge pickup to split to single coils, providing a balanced tone that will cut through the mix with style. Anchoring this guitar is the PRS plate-style bridge with two saddles that were designed to compensate for intonation. This bridge harkens back to Paul’s early designs and traditional bass plate-style bridges but is top-loading for easy restringing. Like the bridge found on Paul’s Guitar and some Private Stock models, PRS’s plate-style bridge features brass saddles and an aluminum plate for maximum tonal sustain.
