PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Satin Cloud Burst

Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Satin Cloud Burst

A Modern PRS with Vintage Character

Offering a perfect amalgamation of vintage personality and modern reliability, the PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow brandishes a charming, offset-shaped mahogany build, complemented by a semi-hollow construction and an F-hole for maximum attitude and resonance. You'll appreciate the comfortable playability of this semi-hollowbody electric guitar's mahogany neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow's USA-made pickups and electronics comprise a DS-01 humbucker at the bridge and a Narrowfield mini humbucker in the neck position, along with a coil tap that unlocks a complete arsenal of spanky single-coil textures. You also get a PRS plate-style bridge with brass saddles, ensuring spot-on intonation and ear-grabbing sustain, and Phase III tuners for stability — originally seen on PRS Core line. Anchored by Paul Reed Smith's vaunted playability and craftsmanship, the S2 Vela Semi-Hollow is the perfect axe for guitarists searching for a fresh PRS playing experience.

PRS craftsmanship with a fresh aesthetic

The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow brandishes a semi-hollow mahogany body with a contoured offset shape that sets it apart from the rest of the guitars in Paul Reed Smith's stable. Once you pick it up, however, you'll relish in the familiar — and eminently comfortable — playability of this guitar's Pattern Regular neck carve, and its 22-fret, 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard is the perfect launchpad for the gamut of musical finger gymnastics. This vintage-inspired guitar is simply bursting with flavorful personality, making it the perfect choice for players searching for something a bit off the beaten path or for die-hard PRS devotees looking for a new twist.

USA-made pickups and electronics

Jam-packed with USA-made, pickguard-loaded pickups and electronics, the PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow bursts with attitude-laden tone. This guitar's PRS DS-01 bridge humbucker yields a bright, punky tone with a bell-like quality that tackles overdriven leads and crystalline cleans with equal assurance. At the neck, you'll find a PRS Narrowfield humbucker that delivers the best characteristics of a humbucker, a P-90, a traditional single-coil, and a mini humbucker, all blended in a single glorious sonic cocktail. To top it off, the S2 Vela Semi-Hollow includes a push-pull coil tap on its tone knob, which provides access to an array of tempting single-coil textures.

High-performance hardware

The guitarists here at Sweetwater have found the S2 Vela Semi-Hollow to be among the most stable semi-hollow electric guitars around. This is not only due to PRS's stringent manufacturing standards but also to its superior hardware. The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow's PRS plate-style bridge is as rock-solid as they come. Harkening back to Paul Reed Smith's early designs, this aluminum-plate bridge features two compensated brass saddles that ensure on-target intonation and near-endless sustain. What's more, this bridge is top-loading for lightning-fast string changes. The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow also flaunts Phase III tuners — originally seen on the PRS Core line — that not only keep your guitar in tune, but also make restringing a piece of cake.
