S2 er en serie gitarer fra PRS der man har tatt alt det som har gjort PRS kjent og pakket det inn i et noe enklere format. Man har gjort små endringer på instrumentene for å kunne forenkle produksjonen og holde prisen nede. Eksempelvis er lønnetoppen ikke like dramatisk buet og noe hardware er litt enklere. Du har heller ikke helt samme mulighet til å skreddersy din gitar. Med S2 velger du mellom forutbestemte farger og inlays og så er det bare å rocke i vei. Alle instrumenter er bygd i USA på PRS-fabrikken i Annapolis og har samme overlegne kvalitet og spillbarhet som sine dyrere forgjengere.
The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow got loads of personality and tonal textures yet with a vintage inspired guitars. Its offset body shape is at once elegant and edgy, and the addition of a semi-hollow body and f-hole gives the Vela added attitude and resonance. Its pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS Starla pickup in the bridge, providing a bright, chimey tone and the PRS-Designed Type-D Singlecoil in the neck that gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coiltap on the tone control allows the bridge pickup to split to singlecoils, providing a balanced tone that will cut through the mix with style. Anchoring this guitar is the PRS plate-style bridge with two saddles that were designed to compensate for intonation. This bridge harkens back to Paul’s early designs and traditional bass plate-style bridges, but is top-loading for easy restringing. Like the bridge found on Paul’s Guitar and some Private Stock models, PRS’s plate-style bridge features brass saddles and an aluminum plate for maximum tonal sustain.
