Description

The PRS Santana Retro 10-Top is a meticulous recreation of the early custom guitars Paul Reed Smith crafted for Carlos Santana in the 1980s. It blends vintage design with contemporary craftsmanship to deliver the signature vibe and tone that made Santana's original PRSs so revered. Whether you're a longtime Santana fan or simply crave expressive, articulate tone from a finely crafted instrument, the Santana Retro 10-Top is sure to inspire.

Vintage Vibe With a Contemporary Feel

Several unique appointments hark back to those pioneering pre-factory builds from Paul Reed Smith's workshop. The deeper body carve and original-style heel provide the same familiar playing feel that Santana embraced decades ago. The headstock features the original sloped shape and nut placement for a distinctly retro look. Yet thanks to PRS's modern manufacturing capabilities, the Santana Retro 10-Top delivers premium playability and tone that surpasses even those early custom creations.

Signature Santana Pickups for Unmistakable Tone

At the heart of the Santana Retro 10-Top's voice are a pair of Santana humbuckers wound specifically to Carlos's specifications. The bridge pickup serves up woody, articulate lead tones with smooth sustain��perfect for melodic soloing and riffing. Move to the neck position and you'll discover a warm, nuanced voice ideal for chord melodies and percussive rhythms. Together, these pickups let you conjure all the fiery, genre-blending tones that made Santana a legend.

Premium Tonewoods Maximize Resonance

To ensure singing sustain and rich, harmonically detailed overtones, the Santana Retro 10-Top employs an all-mahogany body with a carved maple top. The mahogany neck is quartersawn for improved strength and resonance, topped with a rosewood fingerboard that ages gracefully while providing silky playability. Every component has been carefully selected to produce the most organic, responsive tone possible��the kind that will inspire you to dig in and explore uncharted musical territory.

Vintage Appointments, Premium Construction

From the nickel hardware to the vintage-style tuners, every aspect of the Santana Retro 10-Top has been fastidiously reproduced from the early PRS customs that Carlos cherished. Yet beneath those retro appointments lies modern manufacturing expertise that ensures exceptional quality control and consistency. The result is an instrument that nails the spirit of those pioneering builds while delivering premium tone, playability and reliability night after night.
