Yesterday was NGD on my Vela. I know, pics or it didn't happen. But I don't have any yet. I'll try to get some over the weekend. It's a pretty uniformly colored top, which is mildly disappointing (I really love the streaky tops in many of the pictures), but I'll live with that because it's still...

Right there with ya, brother! Well, yeah, but it's a PRS. We know it's going to feel, play, and sound great (and that if there is anything wrong, they'll take care of us)!

It almost looks quilted!

If memory serves, one of the key differences between the S2 line and the Core line (outside of a few parts being manufactured outside of the U.S. on the S2 line) is how the necks are made. The Core necks are carved from a single piece of wood. The S2 necks are made from three pieces. This allows...

FOR SCIENCE! :D

You can tell @Shawn@PRS is doing his job well because it's not even 8am and I'm already jonesning for my next Peroba Rosa hit. The good news is that my Vela may be arriving at the dealer today! Now I just need to find enough to occupy me at work so I don't go insane waiting to leave and pick it up.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that pic!

Whoa! That's gorgeous! I really hope my Vela has a top like that one!

I ordered mine from Ryan too. I ordered yesterday at about 6:15pm, and I was the second Vela and fourth overall (two CEs) order he had for the reclaimed wood line. He'd been told he'd be getting them in within a couple of weeks. I can't wait for my NGD! (And now I need to find somebody to buy my...

Holy crap! I may need to see what it would cost to trade in my normal Vela for one of these!

Wow! Pete, I just caught up on this thread, and your newest PS may be my #1 favorite electric guitar that I've ever seen. Now I just need to figure out how I can afford to spec a clone of it!

It's nicer outside! We demand pics! :D Also, wow! That's gorgeous! Congrats!

Since it seems like 594 may be replacing 245 as the preferred shorter scale length, I wonder whether we'll see P594/SH models released at some point in the future. Working on a piezo version of the two-piece bridge might explain the delay. Of course, that's nothing but wild speculation.

McCarty Tobacco Sunburst. Here's a better picture (from my NGD thread): It's funny...I have a McCarty Tobacco Sunburst S2 Vela, but I didn't recognize the color at first on the 594. It looks totally different on maple than on mahogany. Both are gorgeous, though!

I really don't think you're going to regret it!
