With the PRS Santana PRS Santana Retro 10-Top Santana Yellow, Paul Reed Smith revives basic design elements of the Santana model from the "Pre-Factory" era and combines them with modern detail solutions to create a unique electric guitar with high playability and a creamy sound. Accordingly, the flamed maple top in sublime 10-top quality has a pronounced contour, while carefully selected mahogany is used for the body and set neck. The rosewood fingerboard also features traditional bird inlays to mark the positions. With two PRS Santana humbuckers in the neck and bridge position, the PRS Santana Retro delivers the typical Santana sound on the guitar amplifier with a sustainable Sustain and singing mid-range spectrum. Last but not least, the PRS Santana Retro 10-top features a PRS Gen III Tremolo and PRS Phase III locking tuners.
The PRS Santana Retro 10-Top Santana Yellow comes with a solid 10-top flamed maple top in the "Santana Yeollow" finish and picks up on design features from the "Pre-Factory" era of the guitar maker from Maryland.
The glued mahogany neck of the PRS Santana Retro features the "Original Heel" and the comfortable "Santana Pre-Factory" profile.
First-class woods and classic "pre-factory" design
For the design of the Santana Retro guitar, Paul Reed Smith relies on classic "pre-factory" lines. The 10-top made of curly maple not only has a breathtaking flame, but also a pronounced curve with a dish-carve. Carefully selected mahogany is used for the body and the glued neck with "Original Heel", while the rounded "Santana Retro" profile sits comfortably in the hand. Last but not least, the PRS Santana Retro has a rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and the classic PRS Birds to mark the positions.
The combination of PRS Santana humbuckers in the neck and bridge position promises the typical Santana sound.
PRS Santana Humbucker
Two PRS Santana humbuckers are used as pickups on the Santana Retro, which are optimally tuned to the electric guitar and Carlos Santana's sound ideas. At the neck, the PRS Santana Bass humbucker with moderate Output provides a harmonically balanced sound that is equally suitable for transparent cleans and singing leads. The PRS Santana Treble humbucker on the bridge also has a moderate Output and delivers a vintage-oriented sound that has a high assertiveness thanks to defined basses and pronounced mids. A classic 3-way circuit with general volume and tone controls provides full control over the pickups.
Six PRS Phase III locking tuners guarantee precise and stable tuning even with frequent use of the vibrato system.
PRS Tremolo and clamp tuners
A perfectly coordinated hardware configuration completes the PRS Santana Retro 10-Top Santana Yellow. The bridge is the PRS Gen III tremolo, which impresses with optimum sound characteristics and smooth handling for harmonious pitch modulations. On the classic Santana-style headstock, furthermore PRS Phase III Locking tuners ensure precise and stable Tuning even with frequent use of the tremolo system.
Love the scale and the feel of the earlier PRS body shape. Great fretboard access. Pickup mix superb esp. that bass emphasised neck. Beautiful finish. I've been playing a while and I've been fortunate to be able to obtain some good modern repros. I've still got my old SG w/vibrola purchased new from Selmer (1967). A difficult instrument to better. This Santana model feels like an improved update of it. Cannot give a better acolade than that. Well done PRS. Good service from DV24/7. Item well packaged and delivered within reasonable time frame over Easter break. Thank-you.
