Incoming! Vela in the house!

[Jimi D]

So, there's something on the truck today and my lovely wife is at home waiting to sign for it when it arrives while I slave away in the office (because money, bleh)... I'm chuffed because this is a guitar I've wanted since it was first announced; I've just been waiting on the right one to come up North to me... I don't want to spoil the surprise but these girls will soon have a new sister:

Looks like the Vela sister is missing from that photo...

could be... could be...

apparently, there's a big box in my entrance way... if I ever get out of here, I'll trip over it trying to get into the house...

Definately a Vela!

Finally there's a white power thread on the internet I can approve of.

And here's one with the sisters...

(We're sporting the vinyl F-hole decals in deference to my role as Izzy in a G'n'R tribute I'm playing in... I wasn't about to buy an ES-5 and 335 for the gig... )

The Vela is far and away the best S2 model. Congrats! You'd be hard-presssed to find a nicer one...

 

[Spikedog007]

Very nice indeed...And I really like the white Starla as well. The faux F holes are awesome.

That's a seriously sweet looking guitar. I almost bought a white Mira...very similar look. Very classy looking. Good luck with it!

Very nice. I would like a Vela but I'm waiting for a trem version.

Very nice. I would like a Vela but I'm waiting for a trem version.

I used to feel that way too, but I think the magic is in that tele bridge.
