Manufacturer's Description:
The PRS Santana Retro serves as a fitting homage to the enduring partnership between Paul Reed Smith and Carlos Santana, which has spanned over four decades in guitar craftsmanship. This model seamlessly merges the classic pre-factory PRS aesthetic with the latest advancements in tonal quality from the company. Similar to the original guitars that Paul crafted for Carlos in the 1980s, the PRS Santana boasts a maple-on-mahogany body, characterized by an old-school PRS neck heel and a significantly deeper body carve for improved comfort. The mahogany neck is shaped into a sturdy Santana Retro profile and is complemented by Paul’s original headstock design and nut placement, ensuring authenticity. These traditional elements are enhanced by contemporary hardware, including Phase III locking tuners and a smooth-action Gen III tremolo, providing the high-performance reliability expected from a guitar of this caliber.
