This signature model features the iconic Santana Yellow finish over maple-on-mahogany construction, old-school PRS neck heel, and significantly deeper body carve for improved comfort. Perfect for players seeking the authentic feel and tone of Carlos Santana's legendary instruments enhanced by modern PRS innovations and professional-grade hardware.

Product Overview

The Santana Retro represents a masterful fusion of vintage PRS character and contemporary performance capabilities. Similar to the original guitars that Paul crafted for Carlos in the 1980s, this model captures the essence of those legendary pre-factory instruments that helped establish both Santana's modern sound and PRS's reputation for exceptional craftsmanship.

The maple-on-mahogany body construction provides the rich sustain and tonal complexity that made those early PRS guitars so coveted by professional players. The deeper body carve enhances comfort for extended playing sessions, while the old-school neck heel maintains the visual and tactile connection to those historic instruments.

Contemporary hardware including Phase III locking tuners and Gen III tremolo bridge provides the high-performance reliability expected from a professional instrument, while PRS Santana humbuckers deliver the singing sustain and harmonic richness that has defined Carlos's signature sound for decades.
