I had been looking for a loving home for my DG30 since I’m trying to reduce the number of trips to the car and fighting for stage space with my band (at least I was pre-Covid) and saw @Tahlee wanted one. So per forum rules 
I reached out to him via PM and.....
(Insert picture of guitar here, you f@cking internal error bastard)
Yeah, my Santana Fever is that raging.
I’d always been curious about Santana III’s and this was as good an opportunity as I’d ever had to get my guacamole-d mitts on one, you know, just for scientific purposes.
I had assumed they were different because of the price and the recessed trem cover... I don’t know what I was expecting, maybe something thinner or more different than other Santana’s from that era but, nah.... it’s only missing a brazzy board with hidden fret tangs, the Eagle, and the purfling.
It’s a BEAST! Seriously, these things are a bargain considering they hover around a couple stacks used. Big @ss neck, big butt, and all the tone and feel of a Santana (duh).
It may not stay (can anyone say trade bait?) but that’s only because I’m having a real hard time with the color. Is it blue? Is it green? Argh!!!! My brain is melting! Who am I?!?!
BTW, @Talhee may be a “new guy” but he’s a legit OG to deal with. Couldn’t recommend him enough to deal with, pure gentleman. The guitar showed up before I even packed the amp, and it wasn’t one of those things where I made him send it first because I needed to cover my @ss.
Alright, pics in the coming posts.
