[shinksma]

Saw this today on FB, checked out the PRS Site, figured someone else here would have seen it already and posted, but anyhoo:

Look pretty nice!

I believe there was someone (edit: xjbebop) here who might have had a prototype of this in Charcoal?

EDIT2: hah, xjbebop posted this in the News section not too long ago!

 

[xjbebop]

I own one of the satin prototypes from last year...an epic tone machine!

Black with a tortoise pick guard with a white edge? Supercalifragilisticexpealadocious!

Sexy! Especially with that tort pickguard! Anybody seen a listing for these yet?

Edit: Interesting. In my search for a listing and what it will retail for, I see that Sweetwater no longer has listings for Velas with birds, except for one demo. No more birds for the hog S2s?

I also have one of the prototypes. Outstanding guitars and really the king of the S2 range IMO.

And correct - birds are no longer available on mahogany S2s. Glad my Vela has them.

Someone needs to order a Private Stock Vela with an Alder or Ash body and a maple neck. Or PRS needs to release a special line of Velas with these woods. I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

 

[xjbebop]

Hmmm.... an ash body w/ clear satin finish and maple neck...
Yummy!

Yeah, I think it might be time to pick up a Vela.
