An Iconic PRS Design
The Paul Reed Smith Santana solidbody electric guitar utilizes a stunning figured maple 10-Top and mahogany tonewoods to create its thick resonance with power and overtones.

This is one of the most recognizable models in the Paul Reed Smith line, and for good reason.The PRS Santana is a must-have electric guitar for your collection.

PRS began by choosing the tried-and-true combination of high-quality mahogany topped with stunning figured maple. This combination gives this PRS Santana a rich yet balanced sound. The mahogany back delivers the natural tonal warmth and mid-focused tone that guitarists clamor for. And the brighter tone of the maple 10-Top adds clarity and sustain with a strong fundamental. Together these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound.
Santana pickupsPRS guitars have been applauded for their Santana Treble and Bass pickups for years. These pickups - designed in collaboration with Carlos - have helped pave the way toward the warm, singing sound that is his instantly identifiable trademark. The Santana humbuckers are very detailed in the high end, but exude a fat and warm bottom with seemingly unending sustain. Throw on any of Santana's last few albums, and you'll know exactly what a great tone these pickups can deliver.
Effortlessly playing neckThe PRS Santana is built for melodic playing. Thanks to its larger 11.5" radius and shorter 24.5" scale, the strings have a fantastic feel under your fingers, and wide vibrato and large string bends come effortlessly. And the Santana neck profile's round, but not-too-substantial, feel is comfortable all the way up and down the neck. Sweetwater has seen a lot of Santanas come through our doors over the years, and we attribute that to how beautifully they all play.
