The PRS S2 Vela is a guitar that oozes personality. With its offset body shape, it’s got that perfect mix of elegance and attitude. Plus, the all-Mahogany construction gives you a warm, organic tone that feels alive under your fingers.

Versatile Vela electronics

Under the hood, the S2 Vela sports a pickguard-mounted PRS DS-01 humbucker in the bridge position for bright, chimey tones. While the PRS Narrowfield in the neck brings a punchy bite that’ll surprise you. Need even more versatility? Flick the coil-tap on the tone control and split that bridge pickup for some single-coil sparkle.

PRS plate-style bridge

Holding it all together is PRS’s plate-style bridge — a nod to Paul’s early designs and classic bass plate bridges. It’s top-loading for easy string changes, and with brass saddles and a steel plate, you’re getting maximum sustain and tone. This is the same style of bridge you’ll find on Paul’s Guitar and some Private Stock models, so you know it’s the real deal.

Key Features

  • High-gloss nitro finish: Not only looks incredible but allows the wood to breathe and resonate for exceptional tonal depth. Over time, it’ll develop a beautiful vintage patina like a classic guitar.
  • ‘Pattern Regular’ neck profile: Comfortable and versatile, this neck shape offers a perfect balance for guitarists who want effortless playability across all styles.
  • PRS DS-01 & Narrowfield pickups: A lively pickup combination that provides full midrange and articulate, chimey high-end.
  • Plate-style bridge: Crafted from steel for a clear sound, paired with brass saddles for exceptional sustain.
  • PRS Phase III tuners: Lightweight, elegant and engineered for tone transfer — boosting resonance while keeping your guitar locked in tune.
  • Included premium gig bag: Travel in style and confidence with a rugged, high-quality gig bag designed to keep your Vela safe wherever you go.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
