Description
PRS shook things up when the original Vela debuted, trading the brand’s usual polish for a raw, vintage-inspired offset silhouette. The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow builds on that idea, pairing the shape with an airy chambered body that adds bloom and touch sensitivity to every chord.
Mahogany runs through both the body and neck, giving the guitar a warm, woody foundation, while the rosewood fingerboard keeps the feel smooth and familiar under your fingers. That semi-hollow construction alone produces a resonant, open acoustic character, but plug it in and the electronics take over: a coil-tapped Vela bridge humbucker delivers everything from thick, snarling rock tones to cleaner, single-coil-style bite, while the Type-D single-coil neck pickup adds shimmer and clarity for cleans and leads.
Hardware-wise, a plate-style bridge fitted with compensated brass saddles handles intonation while maximizing sustain and that signature twangy attack. It’s a combination built for players who move between genres and want one guitar that can cover rock, blues, and jangly indie tones without switching instruments.
