The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hollow or semi-hollow construction adding organic resonance and three-dimensional depth. Natural acoustic properties allowing enjoyable unplugged practice. Exceptional recording characteristics capturing richness solid-bodies can't match. A tonal versatility spanning jazz, blues, rock, indie, and beyond.
Roll the tone knob back to 6 and play through a tube amp at moderate gain - the natural resonance of the hollow body adds a woody warmth and depth to your tone that will transform how you experience guitar. That's the sweet spot.
A semi-hollow or hollow guitar delivers warmth and tonal complexity that solid-body instruments simply cannot match. You feel the resonance in your hands and hear it through the amp as a richer, more three-dimensional tone. From Freddie King's blues to Larry Carlton's fusion to Noel Gallagher's anthems, these instruments add soul to every note. It's the kind of guitar that makes you play more musically.

Offset Semi-Hollow, Full of Character
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 distinctive, and the all-mahogany design delivers warm, organic tone. The addition of semi-hollow construction and f-hole gives the Vela added resonance. The pickguard-loaded electronics feature a PRS DS-01 pickup in the treble pickup position, providing a bright, chimey tone, and the PRS Narrowfield in the bass pickup position gives the Vela some noteworthy bite. The coil-tap on the tone control allows the treble pickup to split to single coils, providing even more tonal versatility. 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 a steel plate for maximum tonal sustain.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2XG-dG-Yt0
