Player's Perspective
Mr. Paul Reed Smith is at it again. Revolutionizing the way guitars are made, played, and in this case, priced. With the same keen eye for detail and superior level of craftsmanship that PRS has always been known for, the S2 line is nothing short of a guitar manufacturing revelation. Standing for "Stevensville 2," this line of guitars is manufactured in PRS's Maryland shop. They aren't cheap, in any sense of the word, but they are 100% USA-made and more affordable than PRS's CORE line-up of guitars without compromising the quality, craftsmanship, and tone.
The S2 VR Vela is a bold new design from PRS. This particular Vela was specially designed for Vernon Reid, legendary guitarist from Living Colour. A V-shaped neck profile, PRS HFS pickups to hit your pedals and amp hard, a Floyd Rose tremolo system, and a custom (and super rad, might we add) pickguard distinguish this from any other Vela on the market.
Manufacturer's Description
The S2 VR Vela was developed with Living Colour founder, Vernon Reid. Initially attracted by the Vela's offset body shape, Vernon took this guitar to another level through a unique set of appointments. Loaded with two HFS pickups, the S2 VR Vela has an aggressive sound with clear highs and strong mids and bass. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo adds new sonic options for players and provides the confidence to dive bomb without going out of tune. The S2 VR Vela also features a "V-shape" neck that feels full and strong in your hand and a unique pickguard designed by Vernon, himself.
Dive, bend, play with harmonics and have a good time.
These will only be available for a limited time.
