Very few guitarists can claim a tone as immediately recognizable as Carlos Santana. His signature PRS electric guitars are a huge part of that sound. With this PRS SE Santana, that same sound can be yours at an unbelievably accessible price. Yet the top-tier construction, solid mahogany body, and understated elegance of binding and bird inlays remind you that you're still getting an amazing instrument in every way. The PRS SE Santana even boasts a pair of Santana "S" humbucking pickups, further nailing the tonal character that has made Santana a legend.

The SE Santana's mahogany neck has a wide-fat carve, making it very comfortable for players who prefer a vintage feel. And the distinctive neck joint means you can reach all 24 frets easily for stellar high-fret access. The hardware is, as always, very stable and dependable. Take it from Sweetwater ? you can count on the PRS-designed tremolo bridge and tuners to keep the SE Santana in tune while allowing you to express yourself at home, onstage, or in the studio.

High-class, yet subtle appearance





This PRS SE Santana displays its mahogany construction proudly through its stunning translucent finish, the wood grain assuring you of the natural tones that are to come. Around the perimeter of this guitar, you'll find binding that sets the top and back of the guitar apart in a truly artistic manner. As your eyes move up the SE Santana's rosewood fingerboard, you'll find the company's iconic birds in flight inlaid in beautiful mother-of-pearl. And Paul Reed Smith's signature adorns the headstock to complete this guitar's exquisite look.
