The PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow Satin in Red Apple Metallic is where vintage vibe, modern innovation, and effortless playability collide in one beautifully balanced instrument. With its semi-hollow mahogany body, the Vela sings with airy resonance and dynamic response, offering the warmth and midrange richness of a classic semi-hollow while retaining the punch and clarity of a solidbody. Weighing in at a comfortable 5 lbs 15 oz, it’s light enough for long gigs but bold enough to cut through any mix. The striking Red Apple Metallic satin finish adds a touch of retro-futuristic cool, giving the guitar both stage presence and understated elegance.

The 25" scale length and Pattern Regular mahogany neck deliver a smooth, familiar feel, while the rosewood fretboard with bird inlays and a 10" radius offers fluid playability and effortless bends. The tone engine in this Vela is uniquely versatile: a PRS DS-01 humbucker in the bridge delivers tight, aggressive growl with a nod to vintage rock and punk tones, while the Narrowfield humbucker in the neck provides clarity, warmth, and surprising single-coil sparkle. A push/pull tone control and 3-way toggle switch expand the tonal palette, making this guitar equally at home in blues, indie, rock, funk, and beyond.

Hardware includes a PRS plate-style bridge for classic feel and solid intonation, paired with Phase III non-locking tuners for precise, stable tuning. It’s simple, smart, and built to perform. With its cool aesthetic, expressive tone, and exceptional comfort, the PRS S2 Vela Semi-Hollow Satin is more than a unique offering in the PRS lineup—it’s a modern classic in the making.
