The Signature model Santana Retro Orange follows in its specifications precisely the first, non-production guitars from the early 1980s. At first glance, it impresses with its ergonomically shaped mahogany body with carved figured maple top and original headstock design.
The sound is captured by a pair of Santana signature humbuckers. The character of the tone can be adjusted using the volume knobs, tone shutter and three-position toggle switch.
Of the modern features, the detailed hardware is worth mentioning, led by the Gen III tremolo system. All the grooves and screw holes are shaped to ensure maximum contact of the individual components, or the optimum string break angle, so that even the most subtle vibrations are transmitted to the body. The stones are fixed against sideways movement, and the exact position of the vibrato lever can be adjusted with a built-in screw. The nickel hardware is complemented by lockable tuning mechanisms that prevent unwanted string movement.
The guitar is supplied in a case.
The PRS Core series brings together American-made instruments. As such, you can expect exceptional quality, craftsmanship down to the smallest detail, and generally some of the most exciting guitars available in the field of new instruments today.
