From interviews and stuff, he just seems like a pretty cool, humble guy.He was so freaking cool to us in the audience at Experience Hendrix a few years ago in Charleston SC!!!

The KL33 is also overlooked and is just a killer guitar! Basically an all Korina Santana III with moons and Mira pups that IMO is neck and neck with the West Street LTD. as being my favorite Santana shaped object. I think they hover around $2k+ used.
Locally here in BC/CA I usually ask if etransfer bank to bank app will work. That way I don't have to walk around with a pile of cash.Looks like I’ll get to see the suspect. The seller asked me to text him a photo of the cash. That’s new to me. It kinda makes sense, would weed out any lid lifters, and most rip-offs and a-holes. Anyone see an issue with this? Meet would be at a coffee shop, so public place. Thank you for all your help my guitar family!

One of the rare occasions where inflated prices are worth it.Not around $2k anymore on Reverb--well, at least "asking" prices that is, anyway. There's one up there now for Santana-level dollars.
Some “Not Hello Kitty” Photos. Proper NSD Day thread later. It’s as well preserved a 20 year old guitar as I’ve seen. It’s really in good shape. Some swirling on the back, not much and minor, no case candy, and I’m not so sure about the DI Marzio strap thingy. I’d put this as a 8.5 or 9/10, The case is in pretty darned good shape as well, 7.5 or 8/10. I’m sure I’ll have some set up questions, but I’ll try to do my homework first. Thanks one and all for your help, I’m stoked!Man, really buy it already! 17 is a precovid deal. Finish is original and the action can always be adjusted. If I didn't have a hard no buy from CA rule I would have already snaked it.
Wavering like this is why people ask for cash shots, don't sell on CL, and prison style us to reverb.
Buy it already.. Santana's rock!

@SinSir, are you stalking me? (Kidding, tho sounds like you found the CL post, and that’s what I gave for it.)
Is it even worth it to stalk anything else?I only stalk santanas
More fun as nude memberIs it even worth it to stalk anything else?
For me the neck fells great but the sustain out of the pickups is unreal. It does really end up ringing out like Carlos, and can just sing. Cant go wrong with one IMOOk, first Mira’s, then CE’s, now Santanas. 24.5” scale, check. Humbuckers, check. Tremolo bridge, ok, two out of three, and I can always block the trem if I really feel I need to do so. Specially, an ‘03 Santana III in what looks like pretty good condition, at what looks like a decent price, that I can maybe afford.
Tell me about Santanas please. Since price talk is kinda, sort frowned upon here, feel free to PM what a decent price range might be.
Also, what to look out for, if there were other than core or SE Santana’s I need to be ware of? Neck has the year digit and serial number, so looks legit. Santana VS Santana III? Thank you all for overwhelming patience and info!
Edit to correct the scale length
