Key Features
The PRS S2 Vela Limited Edition blends distinctive styling, premium American craftsmanship, and remarkable tonal versatility into an instrument designed to excel across virtually any genre. Limited to just 200 guitars worldwide, this special edition features a striking Black Limba solid body finished in Satin Nitro, allowing the grain to shine through. Its well-balanced offset design, asymmetric bevel, and lower horn access scoop create a comfortable playing experience. A maple set neck and rosewood fingerboard combine to deliver a familiar feel that inspires confidence.
Loaded with a PRS DS-01 bridge humbucker and a PRS Narrowfield neck pickup, the S2 Vela delivers everything from sparkling cleans and articulate rhythm tones to rich overdrive and soaring lead sounds. A push/pull tone control unlocks additional single-coil-style textures, while the steel PRS plate-style bridge with brass saddles enhances sustain, resonance, and tuning stability. Finished with PRS Phase III tuners and supplied with a premium gig bag, this limited edition S2 Vela is an inspiring workhorse built for players seeking exceptional versatility.
Product Ref: 381149
Produced in an extremely limited worldwide run of only 200 instruments, this S2 Vela stands apart through its carefully selected Black Limba body and beautiful Satin Nitro finish. Black Limba is prized for its balanced tonal response, combining warmth, clarity, and lively resonance with striking natural figuring that makes every instrument visually distinctive. The lightweight offset body remains comfortable throughout long rehearsals and performances, while the asymmetric bevel and sculpted lower horn improve upper-fret accessibility. The result is a guitar that feels as refined as it looks, offering professional performance with the individuality expected from a true limited edition instrument.
The S2 Vela pairs two uniquely voiced pickups to create an exceptionally broad tonal palette. The PRS DS-01 bridge humbucker produces bright, articulate highs, focused mids, and plenty of output for driven tones, while the Narrowfield neck pickup offers inspiring punch, definition, and clarity with excellent note separation. A push/pull tone control splits the bridge humbucker for crisp single-coil-inspired sounds, giving you access to sparkling cleans alongside thicker humbucking voices. Combined with the three-way pickup selector, these electronics make the S2 Vela equally comfortable handling rock, blues, indie, funk, jazz, country, and modern alternative styles.
The 25-inch scale length strikes an ideal balance between the comfort of shorter scales and the snap and articulation of longer designs. A maple set neck with PRS's comfortable Pattern Regular profile provides excellent stability and sustain, while the rosewood fingerboard and 10-inch radius encourage smooth chord transitions, expressive bends, and accurate lead playing. Twenty-two PRS Standard frets offer a comfortable playing surface across the entire neck, and the double-acting truss rod allows precise setup adjustments. Together, these carefully considered design choices create an instrument that remains responsive, comfortable, and inspiring in any playing environment.
PRS's distinctive plate-style bridge combines a steel baseplate with brass saddles to maximise sustain, resonance, and note definition while making string changes quick and straightforward through its top-loading design. Phase III non-locking tuners with elegant wing buttons provide smooth tuning adjustment and excellent stability while enhancing resonance through their lightweight construction. Nickel hardware complements the natural beauty of the Black Limba body, and the guitar arrives fitted with PRS Signature 10-46 strings for a familiar playing feel straight out of the case. A premium PRS gig bag completes the package, providing dependable protection for transport between rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances.
