Velas are magical.
My description is that tonally they're a cross between a Tele and an SG that was raised by a Gretsch - they get into all those territories, while still being their own thing. The solid Velas have a touch more twang and bite, the semis have a bit more warmth and chime, though they're more similar than they are different. As an alt rock/grunge guy myself, I agree that they're fantastic for those genres.
