Carlos Santana
Carlos Santana began playing the guitar at a young age and his unique Latin-Blues style started turning heads almost immediately. In the 1970s, Carlos began breaking the boundaries and fusing his style with other genres. It was during this journey, when Carlos Santana was turned on to PRS guitars. After borrowing a PRS to use on his 1981 record, Zebop!, he knew he had to have one of his own.
Carlos collaborated with Paul Reed Smith to build a guitar unlike any other. This guitar had to sound and play as good as it looked. This guitar eventually made it to production as the Santana II in 1995.
To celebrate this pivotal alliance, PRS is proud to present the 25th Anniversary Santana. Appointments include 24 1/2" scale length, 24 fret bound mahogany “Santana” wide fat neck, rosewood fretboard, 25th Anniversary shadow bird inlays and headstock Eagle, purfling strips on the body, Santana pickups with covers and the patented PRS tremolo.
