zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Lightweight, resonant, and sporting a satin nitro finish, the S2 Vela Semi-Hollowbody is a unique bird in the PRS flock, with rich tones to spare.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Pattern regular neck Variation of PRS's "Standard" neck profile
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel

The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow Satin is a vintage-inspired, offset guitar with loads of personality and tonal textures. The all-mahogany body brings warmth and an organic tone, while the semi-hollow construction and thin, satin nitro finish give the Vela resonance and bloom.

The pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS DS-01 pickup in the treble pickup position, providing a bright, punky tone, while the PRS Narrowfield in the bass pickup position gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the treble pickup to split to single coils, providing even more tonal versatility. Anchoring this guitar is the PRS plate-style bridge with two saddles that were designed to compensate for intonation. This bridge harkens back to Paul's early designs and traditional bass plate-style bridges but is top-loading for easy restringing. Like the bridge found on Paul's Guitar and some Private Stock models, PRS's plate-style bridge features brass saddles and a steel plate for maximum tonal sustain.

"The extra cost going from a SE to an American S2 is worth every penny."

Sure, the SE guitars are nice. They play great and sound awesome. However, the American S2 line is a different breed completely. I've owned countless SE models and kept none of them. My first S2 bought in 2018 was an eye opener. It served me well but for reasons, I had to let it go. That reason was a Les Paul Standard 50s model. Not sorry. It was time to add another bird to the stable though. I wanted something different. This fit the bill. Out of the box, the whole guitar vibrates when you play a note. The pickups on this axe are killer. Fit and finish are perfect. Not a visible flaw to be found. Minimal setup, and I mean minimal to dial it in to my preferences. The metallic blue is breathtaking! It's feather light. One note of caution is with a thin finish like this, there will be battle scars. Just roll with it and play the hell out of it.
