- The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow is a vintage-inspired guitar with loads of personality and tonal textures. Its offset body shape is at once elegant and edgy, and the addition of a semi-hollow body and f-hole gives the Vela added attitude and resonance. The pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS DS-01 pickup in the treble pickup position, providing a bright, chimey tone, and the PRS Narrowfield in the bass pickup position gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the treble pickup to tap to singlecoils, providing a balanced tone that will cut through the mix with style. Anchoring this guitar is the PRS plate-style bridge with two saddles that were designed to compensate for intonation. This bridge harkens back to Paul’s early designs and traditional bass plate-style bridges, but is top-loading for easy restringing. Like the bridge found on Paul’s Guitar and
some Private Stock models, PRS’s plate-style bridge features brass saddles and a steel plate for maximum tonal sustain.
After ten years, the PRS S2 Series is being updated with USA-made pickup and electronics for 2024 (and beyond). We are proud to bring this added value to what has become a fully integrated part of our manufacturing line and product offering.

Narrowfield sounds so goooood!! love it, great upgrade!
There are so many PRS's that I would love to buy if they had options other than 10" radius fretboards. If this had a slightly flatter fretboard and maybe a different bridge I would buy it instantly.
Wooo the birds are back!
The narrowfield in the neck sounds good, but I gotta say there was some special mojo in the previous type D single coil that I personally feel is lacking here. I wish y'all would have stuck with that pickup design.
Completely agree. Narrow field here sounds ok but lacks personality. Much like a typical humcancelling strat pickup
This guitar just became a recycled version of a bunch of other prs guitars. The D style pick up ,was what made this guitar unique.
Yes
Agreed. It does sound good but I do prefer the singlecoil in my Vela over the Narrowfield. I’m also surprised they didn’t add the option to tap the Narrowfield.
Nice neck humbucker sound, but it doesn't sound like a single-coil (even a beefy one) to my ears at all.
OH MY GOD THAT LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
I wish you guys make a 24-fret version with a tremolo bridge in the future :')
Best looking offset guitar, end of story.
Putting in USA pickups takes away my aversion to the S2 line. Would love to demo this on my channel.
Unless PRS has started making the DS-01 humbucker themselves, that is still a G&B Pickups product.
Mini HB in the neck makes this way more desireable
What is the amp setup you are using in the audio? Is the Sonzera running into an extension cabinet and you have a mic on that? I noticed on the previous video that you were playing through the Sonzera but there was no microphone on it.
If you look closely at the bottom-right corner of the Sonzera 20 combo, then you can see what is probably a speaker cable going down to the cabinet on top of which the combo is sitting.
THAT A PRS I HAVE TO GET
Please offer this with a Bigsby!!!
Tremolo option, please!! Looks great. ;-)
These pickups on the new S2 line are awesome. Unfortunately the pickups on the Custom 24 from ‘23 I bought sounds like something is on the strings. I hope they offer an upgrade kit
SE model please.....
