Legendary Player's Guitar, Amazing Value

Play a legend's signature solidbody electric guitar - without spending a bundle! Strap on PRS's SE Santana and find out just how expressive your playing can be. This double-cutaway beauty has a maple top, a mahogany body, and a rosewood-topped maple neck that feels fast and comfortable. You'll love the array of sounds you get from the SE Santana's pair of specially designed humbucking pickups, and the PRS Designed tremolo bridge and hardware let you play the way you want, while they keep you in tune. The SE Santana marks the first SE instrument to feature a 24.5" scale length, which gives you great playing feel. You'll love this guitar!

It all started in 1976, when Paul made his way backstage at a Santana show with a guitar he'd built for another '70s star. The rest, as they say, is history. Carlos makes incredibly beautiful music with his signature PRS guitars, and now, the outstanding (and outstandingly affordable) SE Santana gives you your own ticket to tonal bliss.

Go For It

by Brian Graham from Austin TX
November 18, 2011
Music Background: recording engineer, hobbyist
I woke up in the middle of the night when I ordered this guitar, afraid I did the wrong thing. The neck was "wide fat"--is there anything worse, short of "baseball bat", to describe a guitar neck? ... read more [+]The color was orange, and from the photos it looked like maybe a traffic cone would smirk and call this thing too orange. But something--maybe a wise guitar god descended from the heavens--held me back from recalling my order. A few days later the guitar arrived. I was blown away.

About the neck: Don't be afraid that "wide fat" sounds like that girl you woke up with after a wild weekend. This guitar neck is like liquid. It's truly the most incredibly playable neck I have ever played--and I've got the Jimmie Vaughan Stratocaster and a Martin OM-28V. I love comfortable necks, and this is the creme de la creme. It is not "fat"--not even "pleasingly plump" and no, not even "great at parties." This neck is perfection.

The orange looks almost nothing like the photo. Let me just say this: I showed it to my wife expecting her to say--say it with me now--"another guitar?" Instead, she said "wow, it's beautiful." Enough said. This is not Oklahoma State orange. It's Your Wife Will Think You Did Awesome orange. The back of the guitar and neck are also finished in the same orange, which looks fairly close to natural mahogany. It's really nothing like the traffic cone look you see in the photograph.

How does it play? It's like there's a little guitar god built into the neck guiding my hand to play faster and faster. it plays as well as the top of the line PRS models. Incredible.

How does it sound? Extremely musical from the bridge pickup with tone on 1 to the bridge with tone on full tilt 10. Lots of tonal variation with the pickup and tone settings, but nothing that ever strays from the boundaries of musicality. Just right.

How does it look? Absolutely gorgeous. I don't look at this and think "gee, it's not as rounded on top as a made-in-the-USA PRS" I think "wow, this looks as gorgeous as it sounds." The maple binding is a classy touch you can't really see from the photographs. The top curves near the edges to give 95% of the effect of the American PRS look. The color is vibrant and polished. And the precision of this guitar is absolutely 10 of 10--not the slightest evidence of any flaw. It's like playing a work of art.

Another thing: When I first got this guitar I thought there was something wrong with the tuning--it would alternate between too sharp and too flat, seemingly at random. My Sweetwater salesman checked with the tech guys and they said to be sure to stretch the strings completely. I did that and all tuning problems disappeared. Maybe it's hip to blame it on the tuners, but after I stretched the strings I had no tuning problems whatsoever, including after dive-bombing with the tremolo.

In summary, don't be afraid of the traffic cone orange in the picture, or the "wide fat" death knell neck description. Go for it. it's a wonderful guitar. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
