NGD Santana III

[Frank McNerney]

Picked this up a few weeks ago - just getting around to this posting. Sorry for the crummy pic

I've been looking for a West Street Limited for a long time but the prices on what's available were too high - so
this is the next best thing (at least)...

2001 Santana III 10 top
a few mods: II tuners, 59/09 split-able pickups

The original pickups came with the deal and I might go back to them but I'm digging the 59/09's a lot right now

Sounds great, feels great, can't put it down

Beautiful and congrats! If the 59/09 sound anything like the ones in my Cu24 it probably sounds amazing!

 

[veinbuster]

Great catch.
59/09 are money.
Enjoy,

Aw yeah! I approve of all things Santana. I've got 59/09 in my DC-22. Love them!

Bangin’!

I have a 59/09 in the bridge of one of my Westies and it’s pretty great. I really liked the III I HD for a minute, if it were any other color than blue I would’ve kept it.

Very nice!
HNSD!

Dream guitar, right there.

 

[Davey]

Congrats! Total sweetness right there.

Nice one! I’ve never played a Santana, and for the sake of my savings account I better let you guys enjoy them! As well liked as they are here, they must be top shelf!

 

[shimmilou]

Fantastic guitar! Congrats

 

[aphantomvaper]

That guitar looks like it plays Smooth...the song and in general playability!

 

[WA Paul]

Nice! 59/09s with short scale lengths = magic

The original pickups came with the deal and I might go back to them

Yes, do consider that. The original SIII pickups were especially good IMO.

Beautiful guitar! Enjoy it!

Congratulations, beautiful!
