The S2 Vela Satin is a vintage-inspired guitar with loads of personality and tonal textures. The Vela boasts a contemporary offset body shape, and the addition of a satin nitro finish provides added attitude and resonance and a truly addictive feel.

Its pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS-Designed DS-01 pickup in the bridge, providing a bright, punky tone, and the PRS-Designed Type-D Single-Coil in the neck that gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the bridge pickup to split to single coils, providing a balanced tone that will cut through the mix with style. 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 an aluminum plate for maximum tonal sustain.

PRS S2 LOCKING TUNERS

PRS designed S2 locking tuners with brass shaft in nickel, allowing for much better tuning stability than classic vintage style tuners.

PRS TYPE-D SINGLE-COIL AND DS-01 TREBLE PICKUP

Equipped with PRS designed pickups, this guitar certainly has a wide range of versatility with many possible tones available. The Type-D singe-coil bass pickup sounds slightly fatter than the classic single coil sound although if you roll off the volume slgihtly it will give you those 's' type tones.

The DS-01 treble pickup is very reminicient of the classic PAF sound, however with the coil tap on the volume knob, this will split the humbucker into a single coil. This allows for many different tonal combinations with the 3-way toggle switch.

MAHOGANY BODY

Featuring a mahogany body, this will give a warm and thick sound, and due to the satin finish, it will allow the wood to breathe and the beatiful grain show through.  

ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD

Featuring a dark rosewood fretboard with a lovely almost red streak running up the board, this specific piece of wood certainly shows off how good rosewood can look.

PRS PLATE STYLE NICKEL BRIDGE WITH BRASS SADDLES

A classy PRS designed plate satyle bridge with brass saddles will provide accurate and reliable tuning stability.
