I actually did it since then and got it back a week ago. I haven’t had time to put a pic up, but will soon. It sounds amazing.

I just prefer the thin semi hollow body feel with p-90’s, like the 69 SG Special I used to own, where the neck almost felt more substantial than the body, to get those slightly haunting chimey sounds. Though that may not sound like that, it will sound unique I’d guess.

That’s fantastic info, thank you! I agree, would love to hear a sample of what it sounds like, or your best description or comparison to other p90 guitars!

Yeah, I’m actually in line to get a Revstar with P-90’s. About an hour after I posted this question I was already changing my mind. Still interested if someone else does it, and what the sound/feel is like.

I've had a S2 Vela Semi-Hollow for about 4 months now, and I love it. My question is I'm not sure if I like the pick ups enough to not change them to P-90's. Anyone ever add P-90's to their Velas? Was it difficult (if I did this I would probably get a local tech to do it, so the pick guard...

I’ve had the same thought! Glad you did it!

I only recently realized they don’t do the half moon inlays anymore….so sad….

You (we) keep tweaking our guitars because we chase the tone in our heads, and through that endeavor, we make our guitars more unique like we are individually. It’s a good thing, that we make these guitars our own and not like every other one of the same model. One of the best things about...

Awesome! I’m on backorder for a Semi Hollow Vela. I was going to go Satin, but the Scarlet Sunburst just blew my friggin mind!

Prince would have approved!

I never saw such a great advertisement for a guitar!

I’m confident I know and love the tone. I’ve watch a million YouTube videos of people playing them! The best is one with Greg Koch playing a Vela Semi Hollow for an hour and fifteen minutes straight!

Thank you all, last week I bought a Semi Hollow Vela through Sweetwater, just got to wait a couple months for the back order. I was worried about neck shape, but I'm starting to think I can get used to probably 80% of necks out there once you play it enough.

Yeah, I used to have an obsession with adding more metal crunch into my guitars. With the all mahogany Standard, it does give it crunch, but more in a rock sense, which is fine by me!

It’s such a fine line between stupid and.. clever. It’s just that little turn-about.. a reversal of roles.
