Description
Simply Irresistible
The Vela boasts a contemporary offset body shape, and the addition of a satin nitro finish provides added attitude and resonance and a truly addictive feel.
Its pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS-Designed DS-01 pickup in the treble pickup position, providing a bright, punky tone, and the PRS-Designed Type-D Single-Coil in the bass pickup position gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the treble pickup to split to single coils, providing a balanced tone that will cut through the mix with style. Anchoring this guitar is the PRS plate-style bridge with two saddles that were designed to compensate for intonation. This bridge harkens back to Paul’s early designs and traditional bass plate-style bridges but is top-loading for easy restringing. Like the bridge found on Paul’s Guitar and some Private Stock models, PRS’s plate-style bridge features brass saddles and an aluminum plate for maximum tonal sustain.
Plate-Style Bridge
Our steel plate-style bridge is easy to string, comfortable, fully-intonating and it sounds great.
PRS-Designed DS-01 & Type-D Single Coil
Tone with attitude. Designed to deliver clear, full midrange and articulate, chimey high-end.
Low-Mass Locking Tuners
Our lightweight, locking tuners make stringing a snap and keep your guitar in tune.
