Santana pic of the day

Aww...Thanks buddy. You can have it when I die.

Y'all will have to excuse veinbuster and I for making out on the forum. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Ahhh fachizzle....Youz guys done already? I just popped some corn and sat down to watch some action.....

Nope.

DC22 - #23/25

This one is my ideal for a vintage yellow Santana. I have lusted after this one for years. If anyone here is the owner and would part with it, let me know!

Here's a nice little PS

I am not a quilt guy, but that one is on fire!

DUDE. I need me some Santana. Anyone feel one way or the other about Santana vs. Ted 245s?

Well.. I don't want all the Teds.

No Teds for me at the moment. I would however be very interested in a DC-22 if PRS decides to do a run and if they do an 11.5" fretboard radius, I'll buy one for sure. For me the whole package of the Santana delivers what I am looking for and the Teds are very different beasts to me.

Ugh.. in the midst of uploading pics and typing I see that Peter has posted already today... but I'm gonna go anyway.

Here's my KL33. If my '93 CE that I purchased new is like my right arm, then this surely has to be my left.

I haven't been able to put this guitar down for the two years I have had it (except once for a week during my "Just Maintain" thread period) and it's getting worked ! This guitar is all about the tone. Like a Flying V or an Explorer with a wanger.

It's from the 2008 limited run of 100, all Korina, ebony knobbed wings, limited edition 1980 spec MannMade un-plated trem, no tone knob, kill switch, and a wonky set of pick up rings for the Lace Silver and Mira treble. It's (accidentally) wired for an out-of-phase middle position that cuts heads off when played with distortion. This is the guitar I use for lead playing and projects where I want to tone-down the PRS factor and roll undercover.

Yeah, it looks haggard. It's supposed to. I've always wanted a pre-factory guitar like Paul used to make himself but can't afford one or what it would cost to get one done by Private Stock, so I had to DIY one. Instead of my usual Bourgeois on a Budget routine I'm Slummin' with a Silver Spoon here. All wear is honest and real and not intentionally relic-ed.




















Only one "action shot, a still taken from a fuzzy video. No idea how I got so fat and bald.

Mojo at its best
great shots Serge

Thanks, g.wizz! Truth be told I had to take a few billion of my patented "bigfoot" pics to get these.

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.

and I ...would not...throw that one out of bed.

 

[CatStrangler]

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.

...the best guitar PRS makes IMO. Paul got a lot right the first time.

I share that sentiment. I feel as the designs continue to evolve they move farther (further?) away from what I'm personally into.

I am really happy more and more people are being drawn to the new PRS guitars though.. Keeps 'em in business and allows for some amazing PS and one-off Santana/West St. shaped guitars to be continued to be built.
