Simply irresistible
The S2 Vela Satin is a vintage-inspired guitar with lots of personality and tonal textures. The Vela features a contemporary offset body shape, and the addition of a satin nitro finish provides added attitude and resonance and a truly addictive feel.
Its pickguard-laden electronics include a PRS-designed DS-01 pickup in the high pickup position, providing a bright, punky sound, and the PRS-designed Type-D single-coil in the bass pickup position gives the Vela remarkable bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the treble pickup to split into single coils, providing a balanced sound that will cut through the mix in style. Anchoring this guitar is the PRS plate style bridge with two saddles designed to compensate for intonation. This bridge is reminiscent of Paul's early designs and traditional bass plate style bridges, but is top loading for easy stringing. Like the bridge found on Paul's guitar and some Private Stock models, PRS's plate-style bridge features brass saddles and an aluminum plate for maximum tonal sustain.
