DISC PRS SE Santana Special Electric Guitar, Antique White

Full Description

The Santana Special

The PRS SE Santana Special is constructed from a bevelled lightweight mahogany body with an antique white finish. A 24.5" scale length wide fat mahogany neck with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing experience, hugging the hand for the ultimate comfort. Carlos Santana's influence as a PRS guitar player led to the development of the SE series, to honour that legacy PRS has created the SE Santana Special Series based on the same silhouette as Carlo's revered PRS models.

Classic P-90 Styled Pickups

A pair of P-90 styled pickups provide the PRS Signature guitar with a brilliantly raw tone, ranging from a clear, bright sound to overdrive, thump when gain is added. Its p-90 design sits it between single-coil and humbucking pickups, with its full, fat midrange and precision suiting a range of playing styles. The three-way toggle switch combined with volume and tone controls for each pickup enables precise sound customisation, letting players create sounds with clarity and definition.

PRS Design

The SE Santana Special offers high quality materials and construction practices, with the iconic styling and renowned performance of PRS. Like all PRS guitars, the attention to detail featured on the rosewood fretboard is simply eye-catching, with a selection of abalone shell birds. The bird inlays include representations of the following species; peregrine falcon (3rd fret), marsh hawk (5th fret), ruby throated hummingbird (7th fret), common tern (9th fret), Coopers hawk (12th fret), kite (15th fret), sparrow (17th fret), storm petrel (19th fret), and a landing hawk (21st fret).
