PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Black Rainbow Holoflake

PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Black Rainbow Holoflake | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow electric guitar is a vintage-inspired offset with a personality all its own, combining warm all-mahogany construction with semi-hollow resonance and a pickup pairing that covers serious tonal ground. The Black Rainbow Holoflake finish makes it one of the most visually striking guitars on the wall at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls — and it sounds just as good as it looks. Intermediate to professional players drawn to unique, characterful instruments will find a lot to love here.

Product Overview

The Vela's mahogany body features semi-hollow construction with a single f-hole, adding natural resonance and airiness to the warm, organic tone mahogany is known for. An asymmetric bevel on the body improves playing comfort, and the single-cutaway offset silhouette gives the Vela a distinctive look that stands apart from both traditional single-cuts and double-cuts. The high-gloss nitrocellulose finish in Black Rainbow Holoflake shifts and shimmers with movement — a finish that has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

The set mahogany neck features a scarfed construction and PRS's Pattern Regular carve, a comfortable mid-depth profile suited to a wide range of playing styles. The rosewood fingerboard runs 22 frets at a 10" radius on a slightly shorter 25" scale length, which contributes to the Vela's notably easy, low-tension feel. Bird inlays and a signature decal headstock logo confirm the guitar's PRS pedigree at a glance.

Electronics are where the Vela gets interesting: a PRS DS-01 in the treble position delivers bright, chimey single-coil character, while a PRS Narrowfield in the bass position adds focused, punchy bite. A push/pull tone control coil-taps the DS-01 to split it to single coil operation, expanding the tonal palette further. The PRS plate-style bridge — featuring brass saddles on a steel plate with compensated intonation — is a nod to Paul's earliest designs and contributes meaningfully to the guitar's sustain and resonance.

Ideal For

• Players seeking a distinctive semi-hollow electric guitar with vintage character at an Idaho Falls guitar shop
• Blues, indie, and alternative players who want warm, organic tone with chimey single-coil capabilities
• Guitarists looking for a lightweight, comfortable instrument with a shorter 25" scale length
• Tone explorers who want HH versatility and coil-splitting in one straightforward control layout
• Players who want a genuinely unique aesthetic — the Black Rainbow Holoflake is unlike anything else on the market

Key Features

Semi-Hollow Mahogany Construction The single f-hole semi-hollow body adds resonance, warmth, and a slightly airy quality to the Vela's tone that a fully solid mahogany body simply can't replicate. At 5.93 lbs., it's also one of the most comfortable guitars to wear for extended periods.

PRS DS-01 and Narrowfield Pickup Pairing The DS-01 treble pickup brings bright, chimey articulation, while the Narrowfield bass pickup contributes the focused, punchy character that sits between a humbucker and a P-90. Together — and with the coil-split engaged — they cover a remarkable range of classic tones from a deceptively simple control layout.

Push/Pull Coil-Split Tone Control Pulling up on the tone knob splits the DS-01 to single-coil operation, instantly opening up a cleaner, more transparent tonal character. It's an intuitive, player-friendly feature that adds genuine versatility without complicating the guitar's straightforward layout.

PRS Plate-Style Bridge with Brass Saddles Inspired by Paul Reed Smith's earliest designs and traditional bass plate-style bridges, this top-loading bridge pairs brass saddles with a steel plate for maximum sustain and resonance. Compensated saddles ensure accurate intonation, and top-loading stringing makes string changes fast and easy.

25" Scale Length The slightly shorter 25" scale length reduces string tension compared to standard 25.5" guitars, making bends easier and giving the Vela a softer, more elastic playing feel — a meaningful difference that players notice immediately.
