Anyone bought the PRS Vela yet? - The Gear Page
Jun 17, 2015 · I got my PRS Vela for Father's Day, mine is light also, 6.3lbs. Very resonant. I have a Suhr Modern and love the comfort of an offset. Locking tuners work great and pickups give you great variety of sounds. Most of my guitars are hum-Hum configuration so I am really digging this. As always with PRS you get the fit, finish, and setup you would ...
Vernon Reid's new PRS Vela - The Gear Page
Aug 4, 2015 · That's a Vela I could get into. I am a huge PRS fan and own many of their guitars. But until yesterday I'd never played a Vela before. I love the look and it was light as heck. Did not like the tones at all. The bridge pickup was OK (that's what I thought of the Starla too so this isn't surprising). But the neck pickup just sucked IMO.

Has PRS Finally Hit The Mark With 57/08's? - The Gear Page
Oct 12, 2012 · PRS has definitely been getting a few things right based on my friend's Modern Eagle, playing the Hiland, etc. The problem is when they came out in the Late 80s, early 90s tone was different. Studios were half digital/half tape, effects racks were the in thing, etc. PRS pups were kind of an innovation in the right direction.
PRS S2 Vela - anyone? | Page 2 - The Gear Page
Aug 30, 2017 · I prefer the feel and taper of the PRS US volume pots, but these days there's literally no objective reason to replace the SE/S2 electronics, IMO. Besides two volume pots, I haven't replaced the electronics in my SE or S2s, and they work just as well as my Core/PS. If they weak-out after 5-10 years, they're inexpensive to replace.
PRS S2 Vela - anyone? | Page 4 | The Gear Page
Aug 30, 2017 · Thanks for the review. Seeing as how my original post was 5 years ago, I've already owned a Vela for a few years and then sold it and bought a Vela Vernon Reid signature model, which is one of my main guitars these days. I definitely enjoyed the standard S2 Vela and gigged with it regularly.
PRS 85/15 Pickups (USA version) - The Gear Page
Jun 11, 2019 · I recently bought a PRS Custom 24 Floyd. The \M/ pickups were WAY over-the-top for me, but I like everything else about the guitar. I have 1 other PRS - SAS Studio with an 57/08 in the bridge and 2 nearfields. I love the sound that guitar makes but I wanted something different for the Cu24 so I went with the 85/15s.
PRS S2 Vela bridge pickup replacement - The Gear Page
Dec 12, 2021 · It’s low wind and designed to be split—handy for an S2. I also just put a TV Jones Classic in the neck position of a Telecaster.I know you’re looking for a bridge pickup, but those are also low wind and, if this is any indication, will sound good.

Jul 27, 2016 · The Vela is the only truely new design in the S2 range, and is a unique instrument that really nails a particular niche for PRS. It doesn't compete with anything above it in the core line. Click to expand...
Putting humbuckers on a PRS S2 Vela? - The Gear Page
Aug 4, 2020 · PRS does have a satin finish version of the Vela now - the MAP on it is $320 less than the glossy finish version. That price difference would cover any pickup replacement. I had a Vela (gloss finish version) for about 8 months; after the honeymoon period was over I found I wasn't playing it at all so I wound up selling it off back in April.
