I've had other PRS' and even a couple Santana IIIs. In fact I currently have an older KL-33 korina that I love. But I've always wanted to buy a new-from-the-factory Santana. According to PRS website the retro has an 85/15 pickup in the bridge, I'm not sure how different it is from the santana...

No I'm not the owner of the website, I just stumbled across it. I mean, he uses Squier guitars through digitech multi effect pedals.

Fair enough. Just so y'all know, as a newcomer here, you guys actually sound angrier than he does!

Wait, do you have an S2 or a core Mira?
