Are you kidding, Bryan play is absolutely beautiful. He’s the perfect person to demo this guitar. I’ve been following PRS for a long time, and Bryan is outstanding.
I am lucky to have a Santana Retro, mine came with a 58/15 in the bridge and a Santana pick up in the rhythm pick up. Wonderful piece of art that sounds amazing. Ohio Guy
I also thought they looked ridiculous in the first video they showed them off but You need to actually see the new low mass tuners in person. They actually look amazing, don’t get finger prints, don’t rust, and the turn ratio is amazing. I actually love the tuners on my 2024 Special 22 so much that I’m trying to order some to replace my 2013 Hollowbody II tuning keys. They’re much nicer in person.
It's a very musical guitar. It can sound almost single coil like, with the right kinda amp. The Santana Retro is full of character and tone. Amazing guitar!
I wouldn't normally consider a bridge humbucker when thinking about a more jazzy/bossa nova-ish type of tone. Great demo Bryan and PRS put together. Carlos guitars definetely have it in them to evoke The Santana type of sound, specially if one has the chops
I bought a 2011 Santana a month ago and I’m awfully glad I did. It is a very special guitar, even if I don’t really get along with its super hot bridge pickup :)
a whole 2.39mm across the neck... no way to feel that difference. First thought it was a marketing gimmick, but probably just simplifies production. one less changeover for cutting neck slots.
PRS guitars are works of art (and science). And Bryan's demos are great. Now, can PRS hire a real video editor to do the instruments and performer justice? I've never seen such unmotivated cuts from a 3-camera shoot. The oblique angles on Bryan talking are especially bizarre.
Anybody know if the added .594 makes a difference? It seems like more space for one finger on the fretboard but I'm not sure if that is where they added the extra .594.
Those were only on the first generation. Since the Santana II (early 2000s?), this has been the layout. (with some deviations in some years here and there, where they had knob placements similar to custom 24)

You got that right. Amazing
Bryan playing is outstanding, but even so it shows how much magic Carlos have on his fingers.
I could listen to him play all day. But i've ran out of videos and have to wait for new ones or rewatch old ones.
@peteralaexanderharrison9309 - agreed. Bryan is a wonderful player, tasteful, plenty of feel, super technique.
Wen Bryan Ewald signature PRS model?!

I never liked the Santana bridge pickup in mine - I’m interested to hear how the 58/15 works.
How’d you get a 58/15 pickup in your’s?
Nice to know you kept the better tuners on this model. 👍

I own a wood library version with a rosewood neck, braz board. It's phenomenal!

Some sweet playing , Bryan. Love how you dialled the amp to the just on the crest of feedback setting.
Help tidal wave of PRS guitars. Are they taking over? Now if we had Carlos doing the demo that would be something.
This guitar is beautiful, I’m gonna have to own one of these at some point in my life.
never owned a PRS but if i did this be the one!
I love the eagle on the headstock.
Beautiful guitar, beautiful playing. I'm holding out for the Bugs Henderson Memorial SE!
My favorite headstock

Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯
3:45 How dare you not play slow dancing in a burning room after that note
Was about to say the same thing! 😂

Lower it
@@zeusapollo8688 Oh I tried that. I’ve been a professional musician for 20 years so it ain’t my first bbq. I think I just don’t love the pickup.

very nice instrument....sounds and looks high quality....
Awesome !!!! Beautiful!!!!!
Awesome guitar!
Wow beautiful guitar nice sound too 😢
WOW!!!
My favorite model from PRS lineup. Just wish to have the fretboard plastic binding removed. All the rest is perfect.
Give this man a raise !! And a big ol cigar. He likes cigars or ciggys im guessing :). PRS rules.
santana toneee!!
WOW. What a Beauty, Tone & Craftmanship. Must say, 8th Wonder of the World. And, an eloquent elaborate Review. 🌈🏳🌈
There it is, the old tunning pegs reimagined by Paul all the way back in 1980.
Is this the first year of the 24.594 vs 24.5" ?
Yup!
Yup!
a whole 2.39mm across the neck... no way to feel that difference.
First thought it was a marketing gimmick, but probably just simplifies production. one less changeover for cutting neck slots.
...and no more 11.5" radius on the Santana?
@@captainflamson another victim to streamlined production.

You can only sound like Carlos Santana so better look like him when you buy it.😮

Which is the color of this Santana Retro? I want to order this guitar in the same color!
The first notes were begging Black Magic Woman .so its a Carlos .
Are they the zebra pickups
where are the two mini switches?

WHERES THE NEW TUNING BUTTONS?? lol
What’s that guitar cost? 🙉
Telecaster se svira bez zica
Ima samo vratni singl ako slusas bolje ' dokaz da nije elektricna
If he wants to sell this in a bad economy. It must have all gold hardware to stand out from the compatition. Go see Gibson Supreme
Divlje kruske i lomljena,swallow,nema pojacalo,ni lp (sa 2 zvucnika). Hallow je kad je puna shallow je kad ima proreze soid je guerrini shettler
Your new buttons BLOW...... Leave the design alone, they were perfect.
Why not have Santana play the demo?...instead of someone playing in Santana's style? That video would definitely get some views.
bruh
Lol go ahead and pull up any santana live footage from the past 15-20yrs (realistically more but I digress), tell me what you see him playing
looks amazing sounds dead
