PRS S2 Vela Black Black Electric guitar
The PRS S2 electric guitars are crafted in Stevensville, USA, offering a perfect balance of precise workmanship, distinctive character, and a more accessible price within the American-made PRS lineup. The S2 Vela model is PRS’s first guitar featuring an offset body shape, designed for players who appreciate the classic PRS tone and playability while valuing elegant vintage aesthetics and feel. For 2024, the S2 series introduces USA-made pickups and electronics.
The mahogany body of the S2 Vela Black is finished with a glossy nitro lacquer. The mahogany neck with a comfortable Pattern Regular profile is glued to a rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets and PRS’s signature bird inlays, aiding quick navigation on the neck.
The guitar’s tonal palette is shaped by a PRS DS-01 humbucker at the bridge and a PRS Narrowfield pickup at the neck. The Narrowfield, in a compact double-coil design, combines the best characteristics of humbuckers, single-coils, and P-90s, delivering a clear, punchy tone with excellent articulation across various genres. The push/pull tone pot lets you split the humbucker coils to unlock classic single-coil sounds without losing dynamics.
Strings anchor at the steel PRS Plate Style bridge with two brass saddles, ensuring solid vibration transfer. The PRS Phase III tuners with lightweight wing buttons enhance resonance and tuning stability.
The guitar comes with a premium gig bag, providing secure transport and stylish protection.
Тype: Offset
Offset guitar refers to a type of electric guitar with an asymmetrical body shape, where the bottom is offset from the top. This design improves comfort when playing while seated. Examples of this are the Fender Jazzmaster and the Jaguar. Offset guitars are popular in alternative and indie music genres.
Finish: Polished
The glossy finish gives any surface an elegant and luxurious look. This type of finish is achieved by applying several layers of lacquer or resin, which are then polished to a high gloss. This provides a smooth, reflective finish, enhancing color and structure of substrate. The glossy finish not only improves aesthetics, but also protects against dust, moisture and minor scratches.
