The Vela, the unique offset in the S2 range
PRS's first "offset" shape, the S2 Vela has established itself as a stylish alternative to traditional silhouettes. It retains the brand's DNA (playability, meticulous finishes) while offering a sharper aesthetic and a highly responsive feel, appreciated both in studios and demanding live settings.
Who is it for and what styles?
Ideal for the motivated beginner to the intermediate/advanced guitarist seeking an expressive PRS. Its range covers indie, rock, pop-punk, funk, and americana. The offset format, Regular profile neck, and impeccable tuning stability make it a reliable partner for rehearsals, tours, and recordings.
Sound
At the bridge, the PRS humbucker delivers a bright and biting treble; in split mode via the push/pull, you get a balanced single coil that cuts through the mix without harshness. At the neck, the wide PRS single coil adds grain and "twang" with precise low mids for arpeggios. The mahogany body and set mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard provide warmth and sustain, while the two-saddle compensated wraparound bridge adds attack and accuracy. The 3-position selector plus split coil expands useful combinations from crisp clean to muscular crunch.
Recommended compatible accessories
A set of 10-46 nickel strings (original gauge) will preserve the instrument's tension and balance. Add a standard 2-point strap and a quality 6.35 mm jack cable to secure your performances. The guitar comes with a practical gig bag for everyday transport.
