PRS Paul Reed Smith SE Santana Electric Guitar

The longstanding creative partnership between Carlos Santana and Paul Reed Smith has played a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of PRS Guitars. Over the years, this alliance has been honored by the introduction of variations of Santana's signature model instrument. The Santana Retro, in particular, pays homage to the early "Pre-Factory" guitars that Paul built for Carlos in the early 1980's. This model reintroduces several unique design elements, including a deeper body carve, an original-style heel, and the original headstock shape and nut placement. By blending history and modern manufacturing, the Santana Retro has been crafted to deliver a highly musical guitar, one that is good enough for the man himself.

The Santana Retro features a Carved Figured Maple top wood, a Mahogany back wood, and a Mahogany neck wood. The fretboard is made of Rosewood, and the guitar is equipped with a PRS Patented Tremolo, Gen III bridge. The Treble Pickup is a 58/15, while the Bass Pickup is a Santana model.

This guitar is designed for right-hand orientation, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the expressive and iconic sound that has become synonymous with Carlos Santana's legendary career. The Santana Retro is a testament to the enduring partnership between Santana and PRS Guitars, and it serves as a tangible representation of the artistry and innovation that has defined their collaborative efforts over the years.
