Mill River Music brings you a used PRS Santana SE with a gig bag! This is one of the earliest models from this line of PRS guitars, as it has slashes for inlays instead of the classic PRS birds, "Santana SE" on the headstock rather than PRS' signature, and a flat-top mahogany body!
The guitar is in great playing condition and set up well in our shop! All of the electronics work as expected and sound great; there are some dings around the edges of the body, and the guitar is a lot of fun to play! We love the glossy neck and the "wide fat" neck these guitars started out with; this guitar is a great way to get started in the PRS line, while celebrating some history!
A word from PRS themselves:
"The SE Series was first introduced in 2001 with the launch of the SE Santana. Over the last 25 years we have grown our SE offerings to include over 20 models, and made several improvements to the specs and features of the SE Series as our goal has always been to give players an affordable option without compromising the quality of the instrument...
The very first guitar made outside of our Maryland factory was the SE Santana... Though it is instantly recognizable as a PRS SE model, there are a few details that are a bit different than the guitars we make today! For starters, Paul Reed Smith's name doesn't appear on the headstock, it instead featured "Santana SE." In lieu of dots or birds the inlays were instead slashes and the all mahogany body was a flat-top."
