Mahogany body and neck
Constructed from a mahogany body and neck with a set-in design, the PRS S2 Vela offers a warm and resonant tone with plenty of depth and grind. Mahogany is a medium to heavy wood, creating a strong and sturdy design that will stand up to the gigging musician's lifestyle. The neck’s set-in construction delivers an advanced sustain, as the increased contact between the neck and body allows vibrations to transfers easily between the neck heel and body.
PRS plate-style bridge
The PRS designed plate-style bridge holds two brass saddles specifically designed for great sustain and perfect intonation, allowing both rhythm and lead tones to sound amazing no matter where you are on the fretboard. The fixed design also improve string and tuning stability to provide a smooth playing experience.
Versatile DS-01 and Type-D pickups
Equipped with a DS-01 humbucker in the bridge position and Type-D single-coil in the neck, the Vela delivers beautifully bright, punchy tones with some noteworthy bite. The Type-D pickup offers a luscious vintage vibe, with an exceptionally lively and dynamic feel to make single notes scream with power. The DS-01 humbucker provides powerfully crunchy chords while still maintaining a crisp sharpness, letting single notes sing and boasting zero hum.
Push/pull coil tap
Incorporating a push/pull coil tap control on the tone pot, the PRS guitar can produce a range of sounds and tones perfect for versatile guitarists. Simply push/pull the tone control to switch the pickup between crisp single-coil sounds and strong, punchy humbucker tones. The 3-way pickup selector is used to create amazing tones for a range of music styles.
PRS guitars
Launched in 1985 by Paul Reed Smith, PRS guitars offer an alternative approach to achieving excellence. Their unique approach to the design and build of their guitars has found them a distinct sound that has become a hallmark for hard rock. The slightly wider necks are ideal for technical guitarists who require space while scaling the fretboard. As well as exceptional tone, PRS’ guitars have become famed for their stunningly intricate finishes. The bird inlays, distinctive colours and signature headstocks have inspired guitarists globally since their first production. The selection of ranges offer something to every style and budget. For guitarists looking for reliable and long lasting tone, PRS is an ideal choice.
