PRS S2 Vela SH Satin Mavis Mint Metallic

A 2025 S2 Vela: Vintage Spirit, PRS Precision

The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow Satin embodies the PRS philosophy: a guitar with a vintage-inspired look, yet designed for stage and studio use with modern ergonomics. Its asymmetrical shape, carved top, and satin nitro finish give it an immediate character, both elegant and "raw," while enhancing the sense of closeness to the instrument. In this 2025 version, PRS adds Phase III locking tuners with Wing buttons and a very distinctive satin color, without altering the Vela's DNA.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This PRS is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile USA electric guitar capable of covering edgy registers as well as more airy textures. It excels in alternative rock, indie, punk, modern pop, garage, and even incisive funk, thanks to a highly responsive right-hand dynamic and volume potentiometer. Its semi-hollow format brings breathing space to chords and a very pleasant "alive" quality, whether played with a pick or with a lighter attack.

The Sound

The semi-hollow mahogany body promotes a rich midrange response, with natural resonance and sustain that develops easily, especially combined with the PRS bridge (brass saddles and aluminum plate). The satin nitro finish enhances the feeling of "open" wood and a fast touch, ideal for position shifts.

Regarding pickups, the PRS DS-01 in the treble position delivers biting brightness, a clear attack, and a deliberately edgy tone. In the bass position, the PRS Narrowfield combines the precision of a single-coil with remarkable density and definition: perfect for tight riffs, crisp arpeggios, and articulated crunches. The push/pull tone control allows you to split the treble pickup for finer, more balanced sounds, with excellent mix placement via the 3-position selector switch.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel, favor a set of electric guitar strings gauge 10-46, identical to the factory setup.
