Paul Reed Smith PRS S2 Vela Black Limba Limited Edition - Natural Smokeburst (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 Smokeburst edition adds a layer of sophisticated mystery to the Black Limba’s raw grain. The subtle burst edges provide a vintage 'pawnshop prize' aesthetic while maintaining the premium feel of a Maryland-made PRS. This specific finish highlights the 'Old School' Ivory Bird inlays, creating a visual bridge between the classic PRS heritage and the modern, edgy offset silhouette of the Vela. 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 S2088509.
