Santana on reverb questions

[Elliot]

First of all, this is a badass instrument. If I were in the Santana market... holy beans! this would boil me right up.

Is the front of this headstock modded, or can you somehow get the PS eagle on an artist guitar? Must have gone to the PTC to get a white back right?

just pure PRS curiosity

edit: changed original post a little

Interesting - I'm pretty sure this is the same one - I had it on my watch list for a while.

And sorry for not answering your question....

The eagle on the headstock has been a feature of most of the Santana models over the years. It's a nod to the handmade guitars Paul originally made for Carlos.

I believe the white back was one of those unlisted options they did for a while. I know I've seen some other white backed guitars that aren't PS or refins.

Heck of a guitar, for sure.

Bodia and I have been talkin' about this one for a minute. You better buy it before he does.

somebody please do! For the sake of my marriage...haha

It would make for a great angel/devil pairing with his PS.

There is that whole richer or for poorer clause built in so..

Except the knobs are in the wrong place.

Yep. It disappeared from my Watch List too. This is a different seller, and the one I bought my PS from (and sold my Studio to). IIRC, it's listed at $100 more than the previous owner had it posted for.

Even though I would love to add a rw neck to my Santana stable, and I LOVE the white back, I'll leave this one for you!

Yes, it would. Don't think it's in the cards though.

Except the knobs are in the wrong place.

Yeah, they kind of are. Even for me.

Wow I've never noticed the eagle on the Santanas. Don't know how... I spend a lot of time looking at PRSi.

Cool about the white back. I didn't know about unlisted options either

And here I was thinking this was an interview with Carlos regarding his use of that spatious effect known as reverberation.

Oh yeah, they like to throw curve balls to keep us all on our toes.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Nothing cooler than a white back.

@bodia Dude, you're selling the bruise burst? That thing is hot hot hot man. Love the bluish purple back

Yeah, I am, reluctantly. It's a stellar instrument, and looks cool as f@ck, but it's not getting any love. It deserves to.

It's the whole "til death do us part" bit that scares me...
