PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow: Vintage Attitude, Modern Muscle
Some guitars blend in. The Vela struts in. The PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow pairs vintage-inspired charm with a personality that's impossible to ignore, thanks to an offset shape that's equal parts elegant and edgy. That asymmetrical mahogany body carries a single f-hole and an asymmetric bevel carve, adding resonance, attitude, and a silhouette that turns heads before you play a single note. Wrapped in a high-gloss nitro finish, it looks as rich as it sounds. If you want a semi-hollow packed with genuine tonal texture and real PRS pedigree, the Vela belongs in your hands.
A Neck That Begs You to Keep Playing
Comfort and speed sit at the heart of every great guitar, and the Vela nails both. The mahogany neck wears the Pattern Regular profile—a fast, familiar shape that fills your palm without cramping your style. Scarfed set-neck construction locks in strength and sustain, while the smooth rosewood fretboard with its 10-inch radius keeps chords cozy and bends buttery across all 22 frets. Classic Birds inlays guide your eyes and mark this axe as unmistakably PRS, and the double-acting truss rod makes dialing in your ideal action quick and painless. Play it for five minutes, and you'll be hooked for five hours.
Pickups and Hardware Built for Tonal Adventure
Plug in and start exploring. The PRS DS-01 in the treble position dishes out bright, chimey clarity that shimmers across the top end, while the PRS Narrowfield in the bass position serves up warmth and noteworthy bite. Flip the 3-way toggle to blend the two, then pull up the push-pull tone control to coil-tap the treble pickup for balanced single-coil snap that slices clean through any mix. Anchoring it all, the PRS plate-style bridge pairs brass saddles with a steel plate for maximum sustain, compensates for spot-on intonation, and top-loads for effortless restringing. PRS low mass locking tuners keep your pitch dead-on, set after set.
Grab the Vela and Go
The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow is a stylish, versatile tone machine that refuses to fade into the crowd. It looks sharp, feels fantastic, and covers everything from glassy chime to gritty bite with ease. Whether you're tracking in the studio or gigging across town, this offset original delivers personality and performance in equal measure. Choose yours today, tuck it into the included premium gig bag, and go find your sound.
