PRS Releases New S2 Vela Semi-Hollow & SE Custom 24 Laurel Burl Models!
New S2 Vela Semi-hollow adds attitude and resonance, while the new SE Custom 24 Laurel Burl adds a distinctive new look while serving up classic PRS playability.
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 SE Custom 24 Laurel Burl adds a distinctive new look while serving up classic PRS playability, reliability, and vibrant tone. Both of these models are available for pre-order right now on our site! More info below!
PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow
Its pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS Starla pickup in the bridge, providing a bright, chimey tone and the PRS-Designed Type-D Singlecoil in the neck that gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the bridge pickup to split 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 an aluminum plate for maximum tonal sustain.
