«  PROBABLY THE BEST GUITAR I'VE PLAYED »

Published on 12/19/13 at 22:06
PRS USA, late in the limit of private stock, handle end 24 cases, zebra pickups PRS specially dedicated, beautiful woods, beautiful and understated decor, a volume knob and a tone knob, mechanical PRS AD (change of rope under 10s ), signed by Carlos himself. The bag provided is of high class.
We immediately feel that this guitar was designed especially for beauty and efficiency.

UTILIZATION

The ergonomics are fantastic Mechanical terribly effective, guitar little or no out of tune. Handle end without access to acute problem until Section 24 incredible accuracy. very well balanced and a minimal weight.
The sound is a killer: after owning several hundred guitars but not least, I have to make a comparison Strato57 a tely62 335 and 64.
Only with volume and tone, it goes through all the sounds of the three monuments together. Previously, I used the tone sparingly. With Santana II, this button becomes essential. We pass crystal clear sound like strat to saturated convaicants sounds. Certainly it attack unless Les Paul but the sound is not drooling in serious: it's very precise, this studio is a treat.

SOUNDS

I play electric blues, rock or variétoche and I feel that this guitar is a top. I use the guitar with tube amps: Cornford Harlequin and road house, Orange AD5, Fender Champ 1982 Elmwood Modena60), a ZT lunchbox, or a T-Rex SpinDoctor live sound. The machine makes it sound any system.
It goes to loud sounds, light it approaches the old Gretch, saturated no effect is the Gibson but very accurate.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for five years. and I'm not ready to get rid of. This is simply the best guitar I've played by far, this quality is found mainly in the studio. On stage, the machine not only sounds like hell but her look is amazing.
Nothing is thrown away. Only downside: as I'm a little wrapped, this guitar looks tiny, barely bigger than a SG, but I became lazy to carry heavier and large instruments.
We record the quality / price ratio even if it is very expensive, the quality is such that this report we do not care. If you found a used (attention to the full range of U.S. Santana, it does not all have the same charisma) JUMPS OVER EYES CLOSED!
