The Signature Guitar of a Legendary Player!

Pick up the PRS Santana Signature solidbody electric guitar and see what the fuss is all about. The backstory begins in 1976 when Paul Reed Smith approached Carlos with a handmade instrument. The Santana Signature adds natural sustain to every note you play, the Pattern neck carve feels just right, and the buttery bound rosewood fingerboard lets your fingers fly. PRS even gave the guitar a gorgeous figured maple 10-Top with meticulously inlaid purfling strips. Whether you're looking at it or playing it, you're going to treasure your PRS Santana Signature model guitar.

PRS Santana Signature Model Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Solid mahogany topped with maple looks and sounds amazing
  • PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic
  • Pattern profile neck feels and plays like a dream
Solid mahogany topped with maple looks and sounds amazing

To give the Santana Signature model a rich yet balanced sound, PRS began by choosing the tried-and-true combination of mahogany topped with a select figured maple 10-Top. The Santana Signature model's mahogany body gives you natural tonal warmth, which is offset perfectly by the brighter tone of its maple top. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound.

PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic

The PRS Santana Signature model is finished in a stunning PRS V12 finish. If you're seeking vintage vibe with a sophisticated edge, your search ends here. Over a decade in the making, the PRS V12 finish blends the thin, resonance-enhancing characteristics of a nitro finish with the non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. It has a classic feel all its own that makes your axe feel like a well-worn instrument. One that will look flawless for years to come.

Pattern profile neck feels and plays like a dream

The Santana Signature model is fitted with PRS's Pattern neck. A hallmark of PRS quality, neck shapes are (of course) critical to your playing experience. Perfected after years of prototyping, the Pattern neck is an updated Wide Fat PRS neck style based on designs Paul Reed Smith did in the '70s and '80s for Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton, and Howard Leese of Heart. The Santana Signature model's bound rosewood fingerboard is butter under your fingertips, and with exquisite mother-of-pearl and Paua Heart bird inlays, no one will mistake your axe for anything other than a PRS.

PRS Santana Signature Model Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Ultra-tough V12 finish feels like the perfect balance between nitrous and polyurethane
  • Carved figured maple 10-Top with inlaid purfling strips looks amazing
  • Bound rosewood fingerboard for extra comfort
  • Rosewood headstock veneer with inlaid eagle sets this PRS apart
  • 2 toneful PRS Santana humbucking pickups
The PRS Santana Signature looks, sounds, and plays like a dream!
