Key Features

  • PRS DS-01 & Narrowfield Pickups – Producing a wide and versatile sonic palette, these USA-made pickups enable you to easily dial in your perfect electric guitar tone no matter what genre.
  • Phase III Tuners – The perfect blend of vintage aesthetic and modern design. Utilising unplated brass shafts for unparalleled tonal transfer as well as precision gear ratios for effortless tuning the Phase III tuners are possibly the most thought-out guitar tuners.

Rich Tone and Easy Playability

PRS’ S2 Vela boasts a semi-hollow Mahogany body, delivering a warm sound with plenty of harmonic richness in the mid-range. Joining the body is a Mahogany neck 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.

Versatile Sonic Palette

Loaded with a PRS USA DS-01 humbucker in the bridge and a DS-01 Narrowfield in the neck, the P2 Vela produces a bright and punchy 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.

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.

Semi-Hollow Electric Guitars

Semi-hollow electric guitars combine elements of solid and hollow body designs, offering warmth and resonance alongside improved sustain and feedback control. Typically built with a centre block running through the body, they deliver an open, airy character while remaining stable at higher volumes. This balance makes them well suited to a wide range of styles, from jazz and blues to indie, rock, and alternative music. Semi-hollow guitars respond well to dynamics and touch, providing a versatile, expressive option for players who want depth without sacrificing control.
