PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow in Mahi Blue w/Gig Bag

£1,899.00

The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow is a unique, vintage-style electric guitar oozing with alternative charm. Featuring a sweeping offset body made from Mahogany, the instrument's semi-hollow construction and f-hole give it added attitude, resonance and elegance.

PRS S2 Range

PRS Guitars' S2 range sits between their affordable SE Series manufactured in the Far East, and their premium Core line made in the USA. These instruments are also crafted at PRS' Maryland factory, but are stripped down without sacrificing quality. Expect unreal playability and a level of reliability that's earned them a solid reputation as professional, high-performance guitars!

'Pattern Regular' Neck

The S2 Vela's Mahogany neck is carved to PRS' acclaimed 'Pattern Regular' profile. Providing a natural and supportive feel, the neck is also topped with a silky-smooth Rosewood fingerboard that offers a luxurious touch under the fingers.

High-Quality Hardware

Although this particular model is part of the budget-friendly S2 line, PRS spared no expense when it came to the instrument's hardware. The PRS plate-style bridge holds two brass saddles specifically designed for great sustain and intonation, so both rhythm and lead tones sound great no matter where you are on the fingerboard. At the other end of the guitar you’ll find a set of PRS Phase III Locking machine heads that'll keep your tuning super-stable, while making string changes a lot easier too!

Unique Electronics

The S2 Vela comes loaded with a PRS-designed DS-01 humbucker in the bridge and a Type-D single-coil in the neck — giving the instrument a spellbinding tone that sounds great plugged into your pedalboard or straight into an amp. A coil-tap on the tone control allows the DS-01 pickup to split into single-coils, allowing you to explore a whole new range of tones.
