Description
The 2012 PRS SE Santana delivers the smooth sustain, focused midrange, and effortless playability that define Carlos Santana's signature tone, all in a beautifully figured Amber finish. Built in Korea during one of the most respected eras of SE production, this model pairs a mahogany body with a maple top for a rich, singing voice that excels at lead work while still offering clarity for rhythm playing. The dual PRS Santana "S" humbuckers provide warm, articulate output with excellent note bloom and dynamic response, controlled via a straightforward 3-way toggle with master volume and tone for intuitive tonal shaping.
The 24.5 inch scale length gives this guitar a slightly slinkier feel compared to standard PRS models, making bends smooth and expressive. Its 24-fret layout offers extended range, while the Wide Fat neck profile feels substantial yet comfortable in hand. The PRS molded tremolo operates smoothly and returns to pitch reliably, and this instrument has been inspected to ensure clean playability with proper relief and action. It is a refined, stage-ready guitar with classic PRS aesthetics and dependable performance.
