    Santana Retro

    Retro has a very elegant top and heel carve and are slightly warmer than the II's. Do it.

    uhhhh, showing my age. Does anyone know if this is a CE or Custom? sounds like a maple neck, but hard to say. I really dig the tones from this album.

    Replacement buttons for tweaked Phase III tuners

    Where does the Special SH fit?

    I feel the same way, bras and Indian for solid bodies. Admittedly subjective, I do feel if you handle enough instruments there willl be clear trends to your perceptions. I feel ebony and blackwood sound a little dull in the lower register and sometimes lacking body in the upper register on...
