Thanks guys. I suspect the trem; the 22 does have a maple veneer but it's very thin and the guitar is chambered cos it's a semi. The two are very different machines.

I really can't deal with heavy guitars, so I was a bit apprehensive about buying the Vela, but it was such a bargain that I couldn't resist. But I was shocked to find it's lighter than my semi-hollow custom 22. Does anyone know why it's lighter?

They do! As of now, I would only choose one PRS, for three reasons: an SE Custom 22 semi-hollow, because 1. It's a semi-hollow and light, not a cement block like the standard 24; 2. It's a wide thin neck, and I don't like wide fat; 3. It plays beautifully through my Vox AC30, seemingly they were...

That's a gorgeous guitar!

I have a standard 24 and love it but it's very heavy; I would love a Gibson 335 but they're way beyond my budget and anyway I don't trust Gibson's QC. So... I'm looking to get an SE custom 22 semi-hollow because it's lighter and the wide thin on the older ones is modelled on a 335 neck but it's...

I discovered a PRS 1990 video on YouTube and in it PRS said the wide thin neck is copied from an ES-335. That's interesting, because I love the wide thin on both my standard 24 and the thin neck of my Ibby am-53 (an archtop). On the other hand (sic) I find the wide fat too fat. I wonder what the...

Welcome! I hope you find what you need.

Wide Thin, as on my Standard 24; and the even thinner Ibby am/artcore neck. My T40 is a great guitar, but its Wide Fat is not my favourite neck.
