Plugged In.
I'm not quite ready for this to end. While we wait for someone else to come by, how about the display 25th from Experience 2009.
Looks like a Howard Leese Blue Dragon! SICK!!!!

Do they make Santana models with Floyds?

I did sorta hope we would make it past page 8...I must have over-estimated the fans of the model, the best guitar PRS makes IMO. Paul got a lot right the first time.
What is it about the Santana models that does it for you? I absolutely love the early CU24s and have been playing them for as long as I can remember. Of course I always think of those as the first designs but that's not the case. What does the Santana model do for me that a CU24 won't? I only ask the question because I love the look of the Santana's but I've never played one. 24 frets on a shorter scale seems like an odd concept but maybe I've missing out. I'd love to hear about what makes the Santana stand out.

I can tell you that it certainly is possible to run out some room on the upper frets, I'm pretty good up until around frets 17-18, but don't feel a lot of need to venture further anyway. The Santana in addition to having a shorter scale has a thicker body, fatter neck and longer neck heel. I feel all of these factors contribute bit more harmonic richness and fuller tone with more sustain than a typical Cu24 (JMO ).
I think it the overall tone is more of a nod to some of the great mahogany/maple/rosewood instruments of yesteryear than a custom, but it still has a great lows and highs combined with a fat open mid-range
The big brass trem, big frets and 11.5" fb radius certainly give my hands the most comfortable feeling guitar in the current PRS lineup.
There is nothing a Santana can't do that a Cu24 won't do necessarily, but for me the Santana is a lot more fun, if that makes any sense. Everything just feels and sounds right.
Edit: I'll also say that I am also contemplating a 594 with some Santana features (trem, 6100s and flatter fb radius). I believe a guitar like that would also really float my boat. But then again a DC 22 with trem would too.
Santana yellow, Brazilian board and 24.5" of glorious tone. Nice Score!
I wish they make the salmon color available in AP at least, that would get my juices flowing
