The Paul Reed Smith - Santana III - Grey Black.
The PRS Santana III delivers all the soulful sustain you would expect from a guitar bearing Carlos' name but with less ornate decoration than the flagship Santana II. The one-piece South American mahogany body has a two-piece curly maple top and the East Indian rosewood fingerboard features our hallmark abalone bird inlays. The Santana III pickups, personally approved by Carlos, are controlled by a simple 3-way selector, master volume and tone control.Renowned the world over, PRS guitars have come a long way since there humble beginnings. Becoming the gold standard of quality in the guitar business was a remarkable achievement for PRS, equally impressive has been its maintaining that standard as the company has grown into a major industry presence. While PRS’s continuing success in this regard demands a constant re-evaluation of materials, tools, and procedures, the bottom-line goal hasn’t changed since the days when Paul Smith hand-crafted his first instruments in an upstairs loft: Build extraordinary guitars, guitars with magic.
