The Vela, the iconic offset of the S2 range
The first PRS with an "offset" body, the S2 Vela has established itself as a modern alternative to the brand's classic single cut and double cut models. Its simple and effective architecture, combined with a refined "Platinum Metallic" finish, makes it a reliable choice for those seeking PRS reliability with a distinctive aesthetic.
For which guitarist, for which styles?
With its immediate playability and tuning stability, the Vela is suitable for intermediate to expert guitarists. Its palette easily covers indie, pop/rock, punk, funk, and americana. The bridge pickup split provides snappier tones for rhythm playing, while the neck Narrowfield delivers an articulated grain ideal for arpeggios and singing leads.
The sound
The DS-01 in the treble position offers a sharp and incisive register, perfect for cutting through the mix. Split to single coil via the push/pull, it gains brightness and attack for more "twangy" textures. At the neck, the Narrowfield combines definition and midrange density, with a sculpted treble and precise lows. The mahogany body enhances warmth and sustain, while the plate-style bridge (brass saddles, steel plate) adds punch and dynamics. The 10" / 254 mm radius and Pattern Regular neck profile ensure comfort and accuracy across the fretboard.
Recommended compatible accessories
Nickel string set 10-46 (factory installed) to maintain the Vela's tension balance and dynamic response.
