One of the most wonderful guitars I own - 2017 reclaimed S2 Vela. Beautiful tones and the neck (pattern regular) is just spot on for me. Tempted to get another to take out as I am too chicken to gig my current one.

Vela is indeed a wonderful model. I have the Semihollow version and have used it on several recordings, especially when I need clear bright sound. Would be interesting to hear a sound comparison between the old and new pickups. And I love that the guitar is light as a feather. I play pretty much and stand up a lot.

Same. I have the Vela Semi-hollow and it always sits in the track nicely.

I have a semi hollow also. Has to be the most comfortable electric I've ever played. Light and ergonomic, even first position barre chords are comfortable.

I own a Vela (VR) and love it. This new model with a Narrowfield in the neck sounds like a million bucks! One of the better sounding demos Brian has done in my opinion. The playing style and tone are stellar. Definitely need to check out the new model. The VR (Vernon Reid) is great but I wish I could ditch the Floyd and have some options other than 2 humbuckers. This thing sounds fantastic

What's the difference between this DS-01 and the previous model from 2023 and earlier? Or is the only pickup change the NF in the neck/bass position? I'm thinking about getting a previous gen one on a (hopefully!) steep discount as dealers clear them out.

Previously it was a Starla humbucker. There is a very good shootout video between the new and old models. Very similar sounds, new one is slightly brighter and a little clearer with gain.

Shame they changed the neck pickup. That was the selling point of it, for me. A truly excellent pickup.

It was okay. My main issue with the original is that the pickups and electronics felt cheap and crapped out.

Gutted and disappointed that they put a humbucker in the neck. As if PRS’s lineup was short on HH guitars. This was the one PRS that interested me, mainly due to the Pickup Configuration and the lack of birds. Now both those qualities are gone. I was saving up for this guitar, and now that money will go to Reverend and their wonderful Double Agent OG instead. It’s as close as you’ll get to the previous Vela.
