Santana 3 swap what to look for

[G4ZZ]

Hello all this is my first post on here and I'm after some advice please.

I have a telecaster 52 reissue hotrod and have been offered a straight swap for a Santana III.
For a start is it worth the swap?
Also what do I need to look out for? I would post pics of the PRS but I'm in work at the moment all j can say about it is, is that its a blue stain with covered humbuckers and at the back of the headstock if I remember rightly it has 6 10 written in it maybe more numbers.
Also there is a chip down the the wood just behind the jack plug could this be repaired?

Welcome!

1) Yeah, it's worth it.
2) Yea, blue!
3) I'm sure it could be fixed.

Definitely sounds like a great swap for you. S III's are great guitars, and are truly all Santana. The only thing I'd say to watch for is that some were a bit heavy, well in excess of 9 lbs. I had one like that, but it still played and sounded heavenly. If it were in the 8 lb. range, I might still own it.

Looks like a good deal for you if evel bay is to be believed.

I LOVE the Santana 3 great guitar but very different from your Tele spec wise
Shorter scale and 24 frets ( 24.5") and a flatter radius ( think tis one was 11. 5 )
Think of this guitar as the best SG ever made
