Series S2
The PRS S2 series is manufactured in the United States, at PRS's factory in Stevensville, Maryland. It is a range designed for guitarists seeking the character, comfort, and reliability of PRS with a more straightforward approach compared to the Core series.
The name S2 stands for “Stevensville 2,” referencing the second manufacturing line created by PRS within their own facility. This series offers highly versatile models, from modern-cut guitars to more traditional options like the McCarty 594.
Our Opinion
The S2 Vela is one of the most interesting PRS guitars for players looking to step outside the brand's more traditional formats without sacrificing a serious, comfortable, and well-built instrument. The offset body gives it a distinctive aesthetic, but the real strength lies in its balance of clarity, punch, and versatility.
The combination of DS-01 and Narrowfield pickups works very well for expressive clean tones, defined crunch, and vintage-inspired sounds without losing stability or accuracy. It’s highly recommended for those seeking a less conventional PRS, ideal for studio work, live performances, and styles where an instrument with its own character is appreciated.
