A Vintage-Looking Vela Designed for Modern Playing
The S2 Vela Semihollow Satin captures the spirit of "workhorse" guitars with strong character, while adding contemporary ergonomics. Its asymmetrical body, carved top, and satin nitro finish give it an immediate personality, both visually and to the touch. Within the USA-made S2 range, it stands as a versatile and inspiring electric guitar, with extra resonance thanks to its semi-hollow design.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
This PRS is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a guitar capable of shifting from sharp, incisive tones to rounder textures without losing definition. It excels in rock, indie, punk, alternative pop, and modern blues, with a strong presence in the mix. The Push/Pull coil split adds an extra palette for snappy rhythms and finer leads.
Sound Characteristics
The semi-hollow mahogany body promotes rich mids, dynamic response, and a more "open" resonance than a solid body, ideal for pick attacks as well as finger nuances. The PRS DS-01 treble pickup delivers a bright, direct, and biting sound, perfect for incisive riffs and solos that naturally stand out. In the bass position, the PRS Narrowfield provides articulate lows and precise attack, with a very usable bite in crunch tones. The Push/Pull split lightens the treble pickup's texture for airier, more balanced sounds while maintaining excellent presence. Regarding sustain, the PRS bridge (brass saddles and aluminum plate) contributes to solid note hold and an immediate response feel.
