PRS Santana Retro With Santana Pickups and Nickel Hardware Electric Guitar
OVERVIEW
Vintage design meets modern playability in a signature model worthy of a legend.
Embark on a journey through musical history with the PRS Santana Retro electric guitar, meticulously crafted to honor Carlos Santana's transformative collaboration with Paul Reed Smith. Carlos Santana, the acclaimed Mexican-American musician and guitarist, is widely recognized as one of the greatest guitarists in music history. This partnership not only shaped the destiny of PRS Guitars but also redefined the landscape of guitar craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from the early "Pre-Factory" guitars tailored for Santana, the Santana Retro reintroduces iconic design elements such as a deeper body carve, original heel, and headstock, inviting players to immerse themselves in the essence of Santana's legendary sound.
Iconic Style and Premium Components
Enhancing its captivating visual allure, the Santana Retro features a striking figured maple top expertly complemented by a resonant mahogany body and neck. Every curve and contour of this instrument exudes a timeless vintage vibe, enhanced by the meticulous craftsmanship that characterizes PRS guitars. The Santana Retro's comfortable "pre-factory" neck profile, nickel hardware, and intricately crafted bird inlays evoke an unmistakable '80s nostalgia, transporting players to an era of musical innovation and artistic expression.
Vintage-Voiced Pickups Designed in Partnership With Carlos Santana
At the heart of the Santana Retro lie its vintage-styled humbuckers, meticulously engineered to capture the essence of Santana's iconic tone. The TCI-tuned 58/15 treble pickup delivers sweet, singing highs and rich low-mids reminiscent of the golden era of rock and roll, while the Santana bass pickup, crafted in collaboration with Carlos himself, produces detailed highs, a lush low end, and infinite sustain. Together, these pickups imbue every note with rich harmonic overtones and unparalleled clarity, allowing players to express themselves with unparalleled nuance and emotion.
Play with Ease on the Santana Pre-Factory Neck
Designed for effortless playability, the Santana Retro features a comfortable Santana Pre-Factory neck profile that fits naturally in the hand, facilitating fluid movement and dynamic expression. Its 9.5" radius ebony fingerboard and medium jumbo frets strike the perfect balance between modern playability and vintage feel, enabling players to explore every facet of their musical creativity with unparalleled precision and control. The guitar's set mahogany neck and body join seamlessly at the heel, ensuring optimal resonance and sustain, while providing players with a stable and reliable platform for musical exploration.
Reliable and Customizable Hardware
Engineered for performance and reliability, the Santana Retro is equipped with a PRS Gen III tremolo bridge that offers stable intonation and a customizable vibrato feel, allowing players to explore a wide range of tonal possibilities with confidence and ease. The guitar's nickel hardware, including classic-style tuners, knobs, and a switch tip, not only enhances its vintage aesthetic but also ensures long-lasting durability and precision, making it a timeless instrument that will inspire players for generations to come.
