Key Features
The PRS S2 Vela is a bold offset guitar that blends vintage character with modern performance. Its solid mahogany body and asymmetrical bevel carve offer a sleek feel, while the high-gloss nitro finish gives it a sharp, refined look. With a Pattern Regular neck profile and rosewood fretboard, it delivers comfort and playability from top to bottom.
A PRS DS-01 humbucker and Narrowfield pickup provide a wide tonal range, from punchy mids to sparkling highs. The coil-split function adds even more versatility, making it easy to switch between humbucking power and singlecoil clarity. Brass saddles and locking tuners ensure tuning stability and sustain, perfect for both studio sessions and live sets.

The PRS S2 Vela is a standout in the PRS lineup, marking the brand’s first venture into offset body shapes. With its distinctive silhouette, the Vela merges elegance and boldness in equal measure. The offset design provides a comfortable playing experience both seated and standing, with the contoured mahogany body nestling naturally against you. Its Antique White high-gloss nitro finish adds a touch of vintage sophistication, contrasting beautifully with the nickel hardware and dark rosewood fretboard. Designed to turn heads while delivering reliable performance, the Vela combines visual character with serious tonal versatility, making it an ideal choice if you want something classic yet unconventional.
What sets the S2 Vela apart sonically is its dynamic and flexible pickup configuration. Loaded with a PRS DS-01 humbucker in the treble position and a PRS Narrowfield in the bass position, the guitar delivers a broad tonal spectrum—punchy and articulate at the bridge, warm and chimey at the neck. The DS-01’s push-pull tone control enables coil-splitting, giving you access to crisp singlecoil tones on the fly without sacrificing output or clarity. These pickups are now made in the USA as part of the S2 Series refresh for 2024, offering even more quality and consistency. From smooth cleans to biting rhythm tones and expressive leads, the S2 Vela’s electronics respond with detail and musicality across genres.
Designed with professional reliability in mind, the PRS S2 Vela includes a steel plate-style bridge with two custom brass saddles—an uncommon feature that adds sustain and harmonic richness to your playing. This bridge not only delivers impressive tone, but also enhances tuning accuracy and intonation across the fretboard. Paired with PRS Low Mass Locking tuners, string changes are quick and efficient, and the guitar stays in tune even through demanding performances. Every hardware choice here reflects PRS’s commitment to function and feel—details that become especially valuable during long rehearsals, studio sessions or high-energy stage shows. It’s a guitar built to perform without compromise.
At the heart of the S2 Vela’s smooth playability is its Pattern Regular neck, crafted from mahogany with a scarfed joint for added strength and consistency. With 22 frets across a 25-inch scale and a 10-inch fretboard radius, this guitar offers familiar ground with just enough PRS refinement to feel unique. The rosewood fretboard, adorned with iconic bird inlays, adds visual flair while providing a fast, responsive surface under your fingers. From chord work to lead runs and expressive bends, the Vela’s neck profile encourages fluid movement and long-term comfort. Combined with a set-neck construction and PRS’s double-acting truss rod, you get structural integrity and tonal stability built to last.
