PRS craftsmanship with a fresh aesthetic
The S2 Vela Satin brandishes a solid mahogany body with a contoured offset shape that sets it apart from the rest of the guitars in Paul Reed Smith’s stable. Once you pick it up, however, you’ll relish in the familiar and eminently comfortable playability of this guitar’s Pattern Regular neck carve, and its 22-fret, 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard is the perfect launchpad for the gamut of musical finger gymnastics. This vintage-inspired guitar is simply bursting with flavorful personality, making it a perfect slam dunk for players searching for something a bit off the beaten path or for die-hard PRS devotees looking for a new twist.
USA-made pickups and electronics
Jam-packed with USA-made, pickguard-loaded pickups and electronics, the PRS S2 Vela Satin bursts with attitude-laden tone. This guitar’s PRS DS-01 bridge humbucker yields a bright, punky tone with a bell-like quality that tackles overdriven leads and crystalline cleans with equal assurance. At the neck, you’ll find a PRS Narrowfield humbucker that delivers the best characteristics of a humbucker, a P-90, a traditional single-coil, and a mini humbucker, all blended in a single glorious sonic cocktail. To top it off, the S2 Vela Satin includes a push-pull coil tap on its tone knob, which provides access to an array of tempting single-coil textures.
High-performance hardware
The guitarists here have found the S2 Vela Satin to be among the most stable solidbody electric guitars in the entire PRS lineup. This is not only due to PRS’s stringent manufacturing standards but also to its superior hardware. The S2 Vela Satin’s PRS plate-style bridge is as rock-solid as they come. Harkening back to Paul Reed Smith’s early designs, this aluminum-plate bridge features two compensated brass saddles that ensure on-target intonation and near-endless sustain. What’s more, this bridge is top-loading for lightning-fast string changes. The S2 Vela Satin also flaunts Phase III tuners originally seen on the PRS Core line that not only keep your guitar in tune, but also make restringing a piece of cake.
