    In 2016 I played one of these and it captured my imagination. Couldn't afford it at the time (or for the next few years) but finally last month I was in the position to go after my dream guitar. But I hadn't seen or played one in a long time. Found this video to see if it sounded good like I'd remembered, and sealed the deal. Finally have one, actually the same model/color as what Mick's got here. It's phenomenal.

    I just want you to know, Mick and Peter, that this video is the reason why I bought this guitar.

      Bought my satin vela 4 years ago. Still loving it. Records beautifully.@@GringoMouth

    Maybe one of the most under appreciated guitars ever. The satin s2 version is unreal.

    Andertons is knocking it out of the park with this new video format. Love me some Mick and Danish Pete!

    As much as Rob and Capt are entertaining, this was WAAY better actually review, with much much better quality of review and playing. More please.

      +SunnySalamander I like Rob but shredding is a totally boring guitar demonstration.

    • @46ace
      @46ace 7 років тому +2

      Yup: If you 're not into shredding; High gain shredding and distortion is a poor way to show off the tones of a guitar. Rob is an amazing session guitarist; but I don't find it musical to my ear.

  • @stephanematis

    These two together always bring the smiles. Talent, passion and good humor.

    Pete plays with so much soul.. a real talent for wringing the most out of every note

  • @clayjr67
    @clayjr67 9 років тому +9

    I like the new people u all are using, it give us a fresh face, a fresh sound, we love the caption and Rob but it is nice seeing and hearing some new stuff , like the demo you don't allways have to turn up the amp and peg the pedal and play the same licks over and over again , good job !

    • @bradcarroll3719
      @bradcarroll3719 9 років тому +8

      Amen. It ruins some otherwise greet videos, all the pinch harmonics and making every single amp/pedal combination sound exactly like a dimed JCM 800. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tone, SOMETIMES. No hate intended in this comment.

    • @clayjr67

  • @jamesraward
    @jamesraward 3 роки тому +2

    I’ve been umming and ahhing about what my next guitar should be (Jazzmaster, tele, ES the list goes on) and this has really tipped the balance for me. Perfect for the styles of music I play, such a lovely warmth. Spot on.

  • @drothberg3
    @drothberg3 4 роки тому +2

    It's actually great for the review to have two reviewers playing the same guitar with different amps and pedals.

  • @stuartbegley2085
    @stuartbegley2085 9 років тому +3

    @gaztaylor9682 9 років тому +1

    Awesome stuff guys!! Love this demo format, and great to see two such fine musicians having such a lot of fun talking guitars and making music. This new PRS S2 Vela is a really amazing instrument too, and as you rightly say, a perfect guitar for the gigging muso to play down the pubs n clubs. The perfect partner to my original 2008 Mira too, and now firmly on my gear wish-list. I can hear those Andertons tills ringing already!!!!Thanks guys :-)

  • @tenodogblu
    @tenodogblu 9 років тому +2

    I really enjoyed it and I agree with you comments about the a amps and pedals making such a huge difference to the sounds etc,

  • @enrapturevox
    @enrapturevox 9 років тому +1

    Great demo, same guitars with totally different amp & pedal setups really show you what you're getting from the guitar.

  • @motocato
    @motocato 8 років тому +12

    I'm mainly a Fender player, but got one of these on kind of an impulse, and really love it. I had been intrigued by the PRS gear for a long time, played a few, and was always impressed by the general build quality, and the aesthetics of the guitars, but just wasn't seriously interested enough to justify dropping major cash. While the Vela isn't cheap, about $1,300, it's certainly comparable to Fender models at that price. I would even say the overall quality and attention to detail could be said to be superior to Fender guitars, at the same price. Doesn't sound like a strat, but it's not supposed to, though with the push pull it comes pretty close honestly. For the money, it's a well made, great sounding guitar, that would be equally at home in the studio or on the stage. And it's kind of "SG" like in terms of construction, not a lot of bells and whistles, but nonetheless everything you need tone-wise. Hats off to PRS for continuing to listen to their customers and producing mass quantities of guitar while maintaining this level of quality.

    • @kbkman7742
      @kbkman7742 6 років тому

      GretschBeastFan Just about all of the S2s remind me of SGs. But the quality is far above other comparably priced us made guitars. The fretwork is excellent, the necks are sublime. Very stiff and stable. Every one I have played has felt extremely resonant. The only deal with the s2s is the switches and knobs get a bit tired after a year or two but who really cares when you get the same neck feel as a gloss finished core at less than half the price.

  • @matzer8846
    @matzer8846 9 років тому +1

    Very good demo ... great you had these 2 different FX->amp setups ... absolutely beautiful tones both!

    Both pickups sound very musical and "useful". Also I really dig the shape of these things. Great demo as always

  • @beauboy76
    @beauboy76 9 років тому +4

    It's crazy every video has to have people leaving negative stuff in the comment section. When I get online I always excited when I search for a certain piece of gear and am lucky enough to find a demo video. ESPECIALLY if that demo video is any of the guys from Andertons! Great playing style from you both.
    Was torn between this or a ghost fret but I think I'm just gonna have to get both! Lol thanks for all the videos guys

  • @georgeowens3264
    @georgeowens3264 7 років тому

    It doesn’t get much better than listening to these guys playing bluesy melodic riffs. You guys need to do an album, I’d happily buy it if it sounded as awesome as the intro

  • @TimothyPage06

    Does Mick even have a job or does he just bum around various guitar youtube channels at this point?!

      +TimothyPage06 Mick says: "Hi Timothy, thanks for the love. I do have a job. Since I left Guitarist/Future as editor in chief of the guitar titles, I now run my own tiny media business (just me and freelancers!) that works in and around the guitar industry. I'm lucky enough to work with some great people including Andertons, TheGigRig and Guitarist, so that's why I'm in various videos. Thanks for watching!"

  • @adamswanson8216
    @adamswanson8216 Рік тому

    I can honestly tell you this is shockingly my favorite PRS guitar and the only one I have kept I think this time I will surely keep this PRS I have bought $5000 PRS guitars and hated them. I am truly a Gibson and Eastman person more than anything but even this guitar I am about to buy a second one and do some experimenting with some different pick ups as well. I love the charm tone and the fat neck pick up and certainly want to keep the one I have stock, but I am getting Lindy Fralin to custom wine me a set match to the guitar Under his son Buckeroo pick ups, blues boy combo. Thanks again guys for the great demo great guitar truly and Pete you look like you’re actually enjoying playing it. Thanks again. 2:32

    Dare I say that I prefer s2 to core? I mean the tone is just amazing and about looks, while PRS core is extravaganza AF these dumped down versions with the pickguards somehow appeal more to me.

    This is pretty much the perfect pop/blues guitar with nice cleans and fat enough bottom to do double duty as a rock guitar.. Very nice guitar with very nice pickups. Extremely versatile.. I like the review a lot. Let's not mention the tapped humbucker sound (PRS should look at what Yamaha did with the Revstar)...
