PRS Santana Retro Santana Yellow

PRS Santana Retro Santana Yellow
Carlos Santana's long-standing collaboration with Paul Reed Smith has been instrumental in the success of PRS Guitars. The Santana Retro pays homage to the early “Pre-Factory” guitars that Paul built for Carlos in the early 1980s.

Several unique details are reintroduced in this model, including the same type of neck joint as the very first model, the original headstock design, and the placement of the saddle. The Santana Retro combines history with modern manufacturing to create an extremely musical guitar—worthy of Mr. Santana.

The Santana Retro is equipped with vintage-inspired PRS Santana humbuckers that deliver the legendary clear and smooth tone, Phase III locking tuners, and a PRS Patented Gen III tremolo system. The mahogany body has a flamed maple top with a “violin” curve. The mahogany neck has 24 frets and a scale length of 24.594".
