Paul Reed Smith PRS S2 Vela Black Limba Limited Edition - Natural (1 of 200 Worldwide)

Description

The Boutique Offset, Reimagined in Black Limba. The PRS S2 Vela has always been the "outsider" of the PRS family—a vintage-inspired, offset powerhouse that refuses to follow the rules. This Limited Edition "Pop-Up" run takes the Vela to a new level by replacing the traditional Mahogany body with Black Limba. Known for its striking grain and enhanced harmonic resonance, Black Limba provides a "blown-open" tonal quality that perfectly complements the Vela’s unique pickup configuration. The Natural Satin finish on this limited run is designed for the purist. By removing heavy pigments, the striking, exotic streaks of the Black Limba body are fully exposed. This finish isn't just about looks; the thin satin coat allows the 'Super Mahogany' properties of the Limba to vibrate freely, offering a dry, woody, and immediate tonal response that grows richer with every hour of play. Key Features of this Limited Run: Exclusive Tonewood: The solid Black Limba body offers more sustain and a broader frequency response than standard mahogany. Ultra-Limited Production: Only 200 units of each color (Natural and Natural Smokeburst) exist globally. USA-Made Electronics: Equipped with the same premium electronics found in PRS Core models—a DS-01 Treble humbucker for punky, bright leads and a Narrowfield Bass pickup for punchy, single-coil-style bite without the hum. Vintage Aesthetic: Features "Old School" Ivory Bird inlays and a tactile Satin finish that allows the wood to breathe and age beautifully. Versatile Controls: A push-pull tone control splits the bridge humbucker, shifting from garage-rock crunch to Tele-style twang in an instant. Photos are of the actual guitar for sale, SN S2088407.
