The Vela in the PRS Universe: The Offset That Breaks the Mold
Originally designed to offer a unique offset silhouette at PRS, the Vela has established itself as a reference for guitarists seeking an energetic and streamlined instrument. The HHT (Humbucker-Humbucker-Tremolo) version modernizes the formula: dual humbuckers, expanded electronics, and PRS tremolo for more textures and playing flexibility, while maintaining the ergonomics and Maryland-made build quality.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Responsive and easy to handle, the PRS S2 Vela HHT is perfect for intermediate to advanced players looking for a reliable stage guitar. It excels in rock, indie, pop, funk, and blues, and can deliver more aggressive tones for heavy riffs, while providing precise clean sounds for arpeggios and ambient textures.
Sound Characteristics
The PRS DS-01 humbuckers offer a present midrange and full lows, with a lively attack thanks to exposed magnets. The push/pull tone control splits the coils to achieve a more open and snappy tone, close to a single-coil sound. The mahogany body and neck promote sustain and warmth, while the PRS tremolo adds shimmer and nuance without compromising intonation. The combination of pickups, wood, and electronics covers a wide spectrum, from crystalline cleans to punchy crunches and thick overdrives.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel and balance, opt for 10-46 gauge strings. A sturdy strap with universal strap locks secures the instrument on stage. A curved capo for electric guitar will perfectly fit the 10" / 254 mm radius.
