I have literally never wanted any PRS I have seen. I've admired a number of them, but never actually wanted one.
But the Vela S2, I do fancy. i like this (sold) example

It hangs well when playing standing-up and sits in your lap perfectly when playing sitting-down. I'm not massively keen on the bridge p/up but it sounds good in both middle positions - and I mostly use the neck anyway (which is awesome), so it's not that much of an issue. The only real problem I have with it is the tone control. It does practically nothing between 10 and 4, then the remaining 99% of the treble disappears between 4 and 3 - and then it does absolutely nothing between 3 and 0 ...which is fun for a sort-of onboard pseudo-Wah, but pretty crap for any tonal subtleties.
I can't imagine that it's an expensive fix though - and even that can't be much of a real issue as I've been having so much fun playing the guitar, I haven't got round to doing anything about its "faults".
TLDR - I recommend the Vela to those who've wondered about it but not tried one yet.
I ended up putting a BKP crawler in the bridge, upgrading the volume pot and jack, and taking the tone out the circuit (just use it as a coil split switch). But I tend to play heavy stuff than the stock Pup could do.
Really like the middle position now.
Both are new PRS to me as I grew up on Standards and Customs.
Everything else is a blur caused by the '90s...
