An Iconic PRS Design:
The Paul Reed Smith Santana solidbody electric guitar utilizes stunning flame maple and mahogany tonewoods to create its thick resonance with power and overtones. Its mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard boast the comfortable Santana neck carve and larger radius, and a pair of Santana humbuckers delivers the tone on which Carlos has built his legendary career. This is one of the most recognizable models in the Paul Reed Smith line, and for good reason.The PRS Santana is a must-have electric guitar for your collection.
PRS began by choosing the tried-and-true combination of high-quality mahogany topped with stunning flame maple. This combination gives this PRS Santana a rich yet balanced sound. The mahogany back delivers the natural tonal warmth and mid-focused tone that guitarists clamor for. And the brighter tone of the maple top adds clarity and sustain with a strong fundamental. Together these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound.
PRS guitars have been applauded for their Santana Treble and Bass pickups for years. These pickups - designed in collaboration with Carlos - have helped pave the way toward the warm, singing sound that is his instantly identifiable trademark. The Santana humbuckers are very detailed in the high end, but exude a fat and warm bottom with seemingly unending sustain. Throw on any of Santana's last few albums, and you'll know exactly what a great tone these pickups can deliver.
The PRS Santana is built for melodic playing. Thanks to its larger 11.5" radius and shorter 24.5" scale, the strings have a fantastic feel under your fingers, and wide vibrato and large string bends come effortlessly. And the Santana neck profile's round, but not-too-substantial, feel is comfortable all the way up and down the neck. Sweetwater has seen a lot of Santanas come through our doors over the years, and we attribute that to how beautifully they all play.
The PRS Santana is a legendary guitar for a legendary player.
