I'm curious as to what Humbuckers I have in my Santana Retro (2020)? I have no intention to change them for now, just curious. Thanks.

A google takes me to a 2019 spec sheet that says 58/15 in the bridge and Santana in the neck. The current spec sheet says Santana for both, but when you click on the bridge it takes you to a 58/15 tone curve. I'm thus assuming the bridge is a 58/15. What's the neck? Is that also a 58/15 or is it it's own thing? I can't find a 58/15 tone curve to compare to the Santana - seems the core guitars are all using the LT variant.
 
Have you tried looking up the MODCAT details? Underneath the bridge pickup (and often somewhere stuck to the case, or within the "case-candy" paperwork) will be a long code that resembles the VIN # on a car. Then Google "prs modcat decoder" (there's a couple different ones; generally one works better/more completely than the other) and enter that code. Very cool lookup feature for this kind of stuff.
