PRs Santana with darker back?

[OperatorAce]

Which model Santana had the darker back? Looks like the current model ( Santana III) has a natural finish on the back with Santana yellow as the top finish.

Pic related.

The one in your pic is a very different guitar than a Santana, it's actually a Howard Leese Golden Eagle model.

That explains it! So are the darker back models I've seen Santana playing pre-factory guitars?

Found some more images, but this isn't a Santana. It's the color I'm speaking of, however.

That's vintage yellow. Santana yellow is exactly the same colour with a natural back. Vintage yellow has a cherry back.

I'm assuming they've never offered the Santana III in that color, correct?

I believe they did, happy hunting!

Oh jesus, I'll just have to be patient when I finally buy one then This is why I wish PRS had better info on their guitars on their website!
