NVD....not an STD

[bodia]

Love my Vela SH! Congrats and happy playing….

Thanks!

Nothing wrong with a plain top/finish - when that sound gets you, it doesn’t matter!

I bet that’d have been a killer even with the older pickups - but I’m looking forward to trying the new stuff!

For sure! I was always on the fence before. Shouldn't have been

Congrats! HNVD!
Great finish.
I hear that they’re “magical”.

Thanks. I hear that, too

Aw man... LOVE IT!
Love the semi-hollow thing as well.
How do you like the DS01 pup?

It's cool. I dig it. Covers lots of ground

Very cool! Congrats!

Thanks

Vela Satin SH is the way to go for sure Congrats!

You summed it up.. it's a fun guitar!

Two thumbs up!

Love it! I want a new Satin white. Toss a 59/09 in the bridge and just rock!

That would sound great in a Vela

Nice addition mate.

Thanks Pete

Hell yeah! Nice addition, looks great!

Thanks!

With a cherry on top sweetness! Congrats on a great score!! I look forward to hearing your tone report!!!

Right on!

I don't know why, specifically, but I do think that "semi hollow" is the way to go with the Vela. I heartily endorse your new purchase. Congrats!

I had the same thoughts

Yeah! Fantastic upgrade to the Vela in my personal opinion.

For sure

Congrats! SH Velas are the cat’s meow!

Meow indeed

Fun!

Yup!

I was just watching the Vid on that specific model and think it TOTALLY ROCKS ! Lots of Vela love in PS land lately too

The Velas in the PSF thread have been bonkers

HNVD! Great grab

Thanks!

dude, i'm stoked you dont have an STD!

Me too!

Nice.

Thanks!

 

[bodia]

That's great! Looks sweet!

It's fantastic!

I prefer plain tops...mines a '22 and it's my only S2 that I haven't swapped the pups out thryre clear and killer on the older models too...enjoy!

Sweet!

Nice one! Welcome to the Vela Cult Club!

ha! Thanks!

congrats. these Velas are something special plugged in. And crazy good acoustically. Better than most core's I've ever tried unplugged!
Here's a B+W photo of mine. So simple yet so elegant

Killer, for sure

I’m still holding out hope he’s got something pedestrian like HPV.

Just to seem kinda dangerous.

I did have a cold sore last month....

monkeypox after pride month

Hard pass

It's now called Mpox...monkeys were offended...

He shoots, he scores! Red Satin is one of the best finishes IMHO.

Very nice, and congratulations on being clean, now it's time to play it dirty!

Dirty is the word!

Dig!!!

And, when did they start putting NF pickup in these?

Thanks HC

Very nice guitar! Congratulations! Next on my bucket list is a semi-hollow, and it would be a Vela when I am ready! Thank you for the GAS!

It deserves to be on your list!

Of course a narrowfield in the neck, but what is the USA bridge pickup they chose for the 2024+ Vela?

Awesome guitar!!! I have an antique white one that is the original S2 pickups.

Time to put a new one on your wall!

Let me know when you're ready to sell!!!!

Ha! Will do

It's a great shape, enjoy it. I love it.

Sure is comfortable to play. Thanks

Gorgeous, love the finish! Congrats!!
