The PRS Santana Retro pays homage to the early “pre-factory” solidbody electric guitars that Paul Reed Smith built for legendary guitarist Carlos Santana in the early ’80s. Celebrate history with the Santana Retro’s deeper body carve, original-style heel, and original headstock shape and nut placement. Experience thick resonance with power and overtones, by virtue of this guitar’s stunning maple 10-Top and mahogany tonewoods. A duo of humbuckers deliver sweetened vintage tone with loads of detail, incredible warmth, and endless sustain. The Santana is one of the most revered models in the Paul Reed Smith line. Pick up the PRS Santana Retro solidbody electric guitar and discover why.
