PRS Santana Retro: Celebrating the Pivotal Alliance of Carlos Santana and Paul Reed Smith
The longstanding creative partnership between Carlos Santana and Paul Reed Smith has greatly influenced the destiny of PRS Guitars. For years, we have been honouring this pivotal alliance by offering variations of his signature model instrument. The Santana Retro is a new addition to our PRS family, paying homage to the early "Pre-Factory" guitars that Paul built for Carlos in the early 1980's. This guitar reintroduces several unique design elements, including a deeper body carve, original style heel, and the original headstock shape and nut placement, creating a classic feel that any guitar enthusiast will appreciate.
The PRS Santana Retro is a culmination of both history and modern manufacturing, making it a highly musical guitar that is good enough for the man himself. The guitar's body is made with a solid construction, a maple top wood, and a mahogany back wood, while the top carve is violin-shaped, adding an elegant touch to the guitar. The neck of the guitar is made from mahogany, with a one-piece construction and a Santana Retro shape, which enhances the overall classic look of the guitar. The fretboard is made from rosewood with a radius of 10 inches, and features birds inlays, adding a unique aesthetic appeal.
The neck and body of the PRS Santana Retro are set, giving it a more traditional tone, while the hardware features a PRS patented tremolo, Gen III bridge, and PRS Phase III locking tuners, ensuring the guitar stays in tune and providing a smooth playing experience. The guitar is equipped with Santana treble and bass pickups, which are designed to reproduce the tone of the legendary guitarist's sound, giving you the opportunity to replicate his playing style. The volume and tone controls with a 3-way toggle pickup switch allow you to adjust the sound of the guitar to your liking.
In conclusion, the PRS Santana Retro is an excellent tribute to the iconic partnership between Carlos Santana and Paul Reed Smith. This guitar captures the essence of a classic guitar while offering modern manufacturing features that make it stand out amongst other guitars. It is a perfect choice for guitar enthusiasts who appreciate the classic feel and tone of guitars, and want to experience the sound of a legendary musician.
