PRS S2 Vela Satin Metallic Midnight

A 2025 S2 Vela: PRS personality in a USA "workhorse" format

The S2 Vela Satin embodies PRS DNA with USA manufacturing and a decidedly musical approach: a characterful guitar, easy to set up, designed for long playing sessions. This 2025 model stands out with its PRS Phase III locking tuners with Wing buttons and its new Metallic Midnight satin finish, while retaining the Vela's identity: a bold aesthetic and a blend of tonal textures that evoke vintage without ever sounding "been there, done that".

For which guitarists and styles?

The PRS S2 Vela Satin targets the intermediate to advanced guitarist seeking an expressive electric capable of moving from sharp tones to rounder textures without multiplying adjustments. It excels in rock, punk, indie, garage, edgy pop, and modern blues. The 25" / 635 mm scale length offers an ideal balance between string tension, playing comfort, and attack, while the Regular neck profile and 10" / 254 mm radius facilitate both chords and bends.

Sound

The mahogany body provides a warm foundation with present mids and nice density, perfect for riffs that "hold" and notes that stay in place. The PRS DS-01 treble pickup delivers a clear, bright, and very responsive attack: ideal for incisive rhythms and snapping leads. In the bass position, the PRS Narrowfield combines precision and bite with definition that remains clear even with gain. The 3-position selector allows quick changes, and the Push/Pull tone control adds a more airy single coil color to broaden the palette. Finally, the PRS fixed bridge, with its brass saddles and aluminum plate, contributes to solid sustain and a very direct attack feel.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar is strung with 10-46 gauge strings, so you can plan on a set of 10-46 strings to maintain the original feel and balance. It comes with a Gig Bag, convenient for daily transport and protection.
