That’s a good question, especially since PRS never really releases much, if any changes to specifications on Santanas.
I know for certain my Santana Signature is a bit smaller in thickness from the Westies, I, II, and IIIs, and KL33.
Dunno much of anything about MD’s or Retros.

I once asked PRS and they said all Santana models had the same body thickness but I’m not so sure now.

I have only had the chance to put my hands on one Santana. I walked into the shop with the intent to buy it. It was a guitar I spotted online that was at my local shop in a finish I love. After I got it in my hands it felt very much like my CU22 but with 2 more frets. I ended up not buying it. I was expecting a thicker neck and body than my CU22 and it felt pretty much the same to. My CU22 has a nice chunky wide fat neck on it. The body thickness looked and felt about the same. If they were different it couldn't have been by much.
I have a 2016 Signature model just wondering how it compares

In all honesty, I didn't think it really offered me anything more than what I had beyond two extra frets. I really wanted to like it more. I told my wife I was going there to buy it. She was shocked when I came home without it.

For some reason when this happens to me I feel so proud of myself! The best was when the GF went with me once and when we got back in the car she couldn't believe I didn't buy it. The look on her face was priceless.
She saw the whole experience and thought for sure I was going to do it. Right color, model, and price negotiated. Truth is the guitar just didn't do it for me.

Ahh the good ol KL33. I played it last night. Such an amazing guitar.
Carry on..

I completely get that. That is exactly how this one went. I was proud of myself for not just buying is and making myself like it over time. I just knew that since it didn't wow me when I first put my hands on it that it wasn't going to get to that love it level. I probably would have liked it but no loved it. They had it at a price that wasn't too bad and this shop will give me a decent deal. I didn't even get into negotiations on it. My wife couldn't believe it when it didn't come in the door with me when I came home.
