Carlos Santana's longstanding creative partnership with Paul Reed Smith has done much to shape the destiny of PRS Guitars. Over the years, we have honored this pivotal alliance by offering variations of his signature model instrument. The Santana Retro - a blend of history and modern manufacturing - pays homage to the early "Pre-Factory" guitars Paul built for Carlos in the early 1980’s, with unique design elements including a deeper body carve, original style heel, and the original headstock shape and nut placement. Starting in 2024, it also features a 24.594” scale length.
Watch along as product specialist Bryan Ewald walks us through the specs and tonal capabilities of this highly musical guitar good enough for the man himself.
