PRS Paul Reed Smith S2 Vela Semi-hollowbody Reclaimed Wood Limited Edition Electric Guitar (with Gig Bag)

PRS Guitars is proud to offer a small batch of "Reclaimed Limited" S2 Vela Semi-Hollow guitars that showcases this exotic wood species new to PRS: Peroba Rosa and Brauna Preto. Here we have the PRS Paul Reed Smith S2 Semi-hollowbody Reclaimed Wood Limited Edition Electric Guitar. This reclaimed wood, which is native to southeastern Brazil's Atlantic Forest, is typically more than 100 years old. PRS Guitars Senior Wood Manager, Michael Reid, sourced these woods from old buildings, noting that their density, unique aesthetic, and history would lend them to guitar making.

Peroba Rosa, typically used as siding, was selected for the top wood. The density of this wood combined with the semi-hollow body construction with a mahogany back and neck gives the Reclaimed Limited S2 Vela Semi-Hollow a unique sound that is punchy but also warm and full. Brauna Preto, typically used as the supporting posts of these old buildings, is used for the fretboards due to its tight-grain and sustain. These guitars are finished in Natural satin nitro. Any nail holes and any wear or discoloration have been left in the top wood to showcase its history. By leaving the Peroba in its most "original" form, every instrument is rendered unique with each top boasting its own character.

Anchored by PRS playability and craftsmanship, the S2 Vela is perfect for players who want PRS build quality and reliability with a fresh aesthetic. The Vela is the maiden voyage into an offset body shape for PRS and is both elegant… read more and edgy. Loaded with a PRS-designed Starla humbucker in the bridge and the PRS Type-D single coil in the neck, the Vela has a bright, punchy tone that sounds great plugged into your pedalboard or straight into an amp. A coil-tap on the tone control allows the Starla pickup to split into singlecoils and explore a whole new range of tones. The PRS plate-style bridge holds two brass saddles specifically designed for great sustain and perfect intonation so both rhythm and lead tones sound great no matter where you are on the fretboard. In the studio or on the stage, you won't want to leave this guitar at home.
