PRS Santana Retro 10 Top (Dark Cherry Burst) inc Hard Case

The PRS Santana Retro 10 Top honours Carlos Santana's pivotal influence on PRS design by reviving elements from the earliest “Pre-Factory” guitars Paul Reed Smith built in the early 1980s. This signature model reintroduces a deeper body carve, the original heel profile, and the classic headstock shape with period-correct nut placement. Finished in Dark Cherry Burst with a figured 10 Top maple cap, this Core series instrument bridges three decades of PRS evolution while maintaining the tonal authority Santana demands on stage.

The Santana Retro combines historical design cues with contemporary manufacturing precision to deliver focused midrange clarity and singing sustain. The deeper body carve provides enhanced resonance and playing comfort compared to modern PRS standards, while the original heel contour offers unobstructed upper-fret access. Period-accurate headstock geometry and nut positioning contribute to improved string angle and tuning stability. Shipped with a hardshell case for transport protection, this instrument represents a faithful homage to the guitars that helped define both Santana's voice and PRS's reputation throughout the 1980s.
