Post Photobucket (as in after PB screwed the original thread) Santana Pic of the Day!

[Alnus Rubra]

I made a special trip to the vault when that top showed up. I spent a lot of time talking to Paul Miles about a special dye job to highlight some of the features and about doing the build without a visible pickup.
When it came time for a neck Paul Smith was showing a few special ones when I stumbled on a Cocobolo one tucked away - one of two that had been drying for 10 years. At that point it was clear the guitar deserved to have full electronics.

I think a photo of the neck is in order for us newbies! Please and thank you

Thanks

And since we don't have a Santana picture yet today, this is how it looks on the guitar.

But how does it look in my arms? That's what I wanna know.

I didn't know you knew Rob Reiner.

Like a baby at Santana Fest.

It seems this thread was misnamed. Perhaps we can manage a Santana pic a week.
I feel a dragon year approaching so...

Like how the piece of paper says -

“Buy a PRS guitar a day”

I did obey that day. So did my wife.

that's definitely wow! that is making my hand quiver to hold it, want to slide my hand, smooth like ........ I went and grabbed an unfinished maple neck, slid my hands around it to pretend.

Sorry it took a minute wrestling with my MacBook but, here you go:

I think that's all of it.

I'm surprised. The black sharpie on the back is really cool. There's something really cool about a guitar so nice, and so valuable with a serial number written in sharpie (at least it looks like a pretty standard sharpie).

It's kind of like PRS is saying "we don't need to get fancy with the identifying info because no one could make this guitar better than us."

This week, plain old Westie style back.

I was just thinking....”Wow...I really NEED another Santana so I can post to that thread again (they are getting sick of my CoCo Monster)”...and then I remembered....

This counts.....right?!?!?!?!

Better buy something just to be safe.

Maybe a white Westie?

Everyone needs one of those.

Preach!
