Got a Santana a few months ago and I like it. All my others are CU or standard 24s and to me the Santana is like a modded CU24 - shorter scale, bigger frets, knobs out of the way.
Been looking to maybe get another, but the thing I'm noticing is that in the 10 top or artist level, the tops on any Santana I've seen aren't nearly as nice as the tops on CU24s (or McCartys for that matter). Is there a reason for that? Is there something about the Santana model where Carlos says keep the tops under-stated? I have non-10 top CU24s where the tops are nicer than any 10 top or artist Santana I've seen. Is there something going on here that's intentional that I don't know about?
