Vela balance question

[Dave_W]

I've been looking for a lightweight guitar to use around the house. Something that won't break my back

The Vela has caught my eye and the weights are surprisingly light. I'm wondering if any of them have neck dive? That drives me nuts and after a lightweight SG I've been pretty gunshy about getting anything that light again.

How's the balance on the Vela?

Thanks!

Everyone I’ve ever talked to who owns one has been happy with the balance, including my stoop shouldered friend, Glenn.

No dive on mine, and it’s a semi-hollow. Even Thornton Mellon doesn’t dive on this one!

Seli hollow here...5lbs or less on mine and no dive...

Solid body Vela here and the balance is very good!

RL SH Vela here…zero neck dive.

No dive with my solid body. PRS doesn’t do neck dive.
