Watchtower Guitars is excited to announce our partnership with Paul Reed Smith Guitars. I've always been a fan of Paul's guitars going back to his original design's in the 1980's. We plan on having the best selection of Core, Bolt On, S2 and SE models in the tri-state area. All of these guitars are available to be tested at our new location in Morristown NJ. Please contact us to make an appointment. Working with us at Watchtower Guitars is experience not just a transaction.
The S2 Vela Semi-Hollow is a vintage-inspired guitar with loads of personality and tonal textures. Its offset body shape is at once elegant and edgy, and the addition of a semi-hollow body and f-hole gives the Vela added attitude and resonance.
Its pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS-Designed DS-01 pickup in the bridge, providing a bright, chimey tone and the Type-D Singlecoil in the neck that gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the bridge pickup to split to singlecoils, providing a balanced tone that will cut through the mix with style. Anchoring this guitar is the PRS plate-style bridge with two saddles that were designed to compensate for intonation. This bridge harkens back to Paul’s early designs and traditional bass plate-style bridges, but is top-loading for easy restringing. Like the bridge found on Paul’s Guitar and some Private Stock models, PRS’s plate-style bridge features brass saddles and an aluminum plate for maximum tonal sustain.
