DESCRIPTION
This PRS Private Stock Santana Retro is a refined, vault-selected take on one of PRS’s most historic designs. Featuring a hand-chosen koa top over African mahogany, curly maple binding, and a rare koa and curly maple fretboard, this guitar pairs stunning natural aesthetics with rich, articulate tone. Birds of a Feather inlays with koa accents, gold hardware, and McCarty III pickups complete the package, while the Santana Retro carve, Gen III tremolo, and nitro finishes ensure exceptional feel and performance - an elegant tribute to Carlos Santana’s enduring legacy.

Robert, PRS Custom 24 Piezo
Awesome transaction! I bought a pretty special guitar (previously owned by a famous guitarist), and Ish nailed it. Ethical dealer, quick ship, and fast responses. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future!
