Santana Retro

[Shock]

I’m considering purchasing a Santana Retro. I currently own a CU24, DGT, Tremonti, and a Silver Sky. Will the Santana provide anything that I’m currently not getting from my lineup? Also, what are your thoughts on the Santana?

Best model in the PRS line up. The neck is a little beefy, but comfortable. Some people think the knobs are too far away. I look at them has being in the same general area as the whammy bar. They sound awesome. Buttery. Easy to play. And as one member would say, "all other guitars are trash."

Santana for the win! Just do it

A Santana has among the biggest set of, umm, stones in the guitar world. Not that your others are lacking in any way, but when it's artillery that you want, there are few peers that come close. Surprisingly, it also has a more delicate side ... relatively delicate, that is.

Do it!
Yes, it is different.
It’s a great package: good scale, good balance, good ergonomics.

PRS Santana Signature III 2000 - 2007 | Reverb

The Paul Reed Smith Santana Signature III is similar to the original Carlos Santana Signature Model but with 3 way toggle pickup selector and an East Indian Rosewood fretboard. Unlike the original model, it has covered humbuckers and a 10" radius neck. For players seeking a slightly fatter neck, ...

Between my “Paul’s” and my “Santana“….can it get much better? I am feeling strangely polygamist. Am I ok?

I've been watching that one for a while. Almost have enough powder for the bullet so I can pull the trigger.

Even when compared to the 594?!?!

 

[Frank McNerney]

I agree with all the positive Santana comments above

I would like to add that (IMO) it is the prettiest PRS. Prettiest body shape and prettiest headstock.

I'm not in love with the inlay strips on the top. but the III doesn't have them

Just my opinions

 

[Andrew Paul]

Yeah, they’re pretty good guitars…….

Good enough for this guy!!!!!

Yes. Absolutely.

Ah yes, the PRS Impossible Burger.

Ah yes, the PRS Impossible Burger.

But…that means you’d like the 594 more, not being a meater?!?
