Iโve had my eye on the PRS Vela for years. Now that Iโve finally got the 2024 semi-hollow satin version in my hands, itโs time to see if it lives up to the hype and the price tag. This USA-made S2 model might be smaller than I expected, but it makes a very big impression.

The PRS sounds so Modern and yet, familiar through my Fender Deluxe Reverb and my Marshall JTM Studio. The Pickups are not high output but BOY are they aggresive and clear.
