SOUNDS

From what I read, she was appointed three years in a row best guitar of the year by 51 international newspapers (source: the black box).

For my part, I have one, I am satisfied, the finish is nickel. Good guitar but changing the pickups it even better. I bought OCCAZ to a person who has very well maintained.
In bridge pickup is a seymour jeff beck (SH-4).

It uen guitar, in my opinion, rocker and more.

This is what I can say. Research by the cons of OCCAZ because it costs 2 times less expensive. for the same price, there may be models of best quality or best suited to your game

OVERALL OPINION

Kinder to please take off my = copy / paste.

UPDATE April 27, 2007:
I sold some time ago. To conclude my opinion. I confirm "guitar only bought time." The market has moved and scratches can be found in this best on the market.

The version I had was from 2001. The output of the microphones was not powerful enough to change or mic.

PRS is a super high end guitar maker known around the world. They are known for their high end instruments built for professionals. Lately they have started a Line of foreign made guitars called the SE line. These guitars are much cheaper but have most of the tone and playability of the much more expensive USA made models. This is the foreign made version of the Santana signature guitar. This guitar is pretty unique in the PRS line since it has more of a Gibson Double Cut shape to it and a short scale. The body on this guitar is mahogany with a mahogany set neck. The profile is PRS's wide fat neck that a lot of people like. It has a 22 fret rosewood fretboard with the PRS birds on it. The neck scale is 24.5 inches. You get PRS tuners up top and a PRS Fender style tremolo bridge. The pickups are two PRS pickups voiced specifically for this model. The controls are basic with a master volume and master tone with a 3 way switch.

UTILIZATION

PRS guitars are some of the best playing guitars out there. This one has a strange feel to it due to it being a Santana signature. The Wide Fat neck profile is something you find on many PRS guitars. It is a very popular profile. It is not as fat as the name implies. The shorter upper horn gives you a bit different feel when playing high on the neck. The short scale may trip some people up. It is shorter than that of a Gibson. It gives you a really loose feel on the strings so you can bend them like crazy but it also gets very crowded on the upper frets. With just about every PRS SE model I hate where they put the pickup selector. It is out by itself on the body away from the knobs. I wish they would put it closer to the knobs. This isnt a big problem but it takes some getting use to.

SOUNDS

The sound from this guitar is super smooth. The clean tones from this guitar are super mellow because of the short scale. With less tension on the strings you get less snap on each note. The pickups help make the notes super fat when you are playing with some drive. The neck pickup has a really vowelly PAF sound to it. Almost like you have a subtle wah on at all time. This gives you really smooth but clear leads in the neck position. The bridge position has a crunchy classic rock voicing. Soloing in the bridge position gives you great bite and attack on the notes. The pickups are like hot rodded PAF's. They give you a great combination of clarity and definition with your overdriven tones.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is good for the hardcore Santana fan but personally I would not select this guitar over a normal PRS. The things that make this guitar unique for Santana do not add to the overall great playability of a normal PRS. The unusually short scale may put people off as well as the modified shape. If you are a PRS fan looking for a more affordable way to have the same guitar as your hero here it is.

Korea original PRS licensed
2 humbucker pickups (neck and bridge)
1 3 position selector
1 volume and 1 tone
handle typical PRS (very comfortable, not too flat or too round!)
22 boxes

UTILIZATION

This is a 6-string electric guitar
branch and we play it!
the handle is super nice
the fact that there is only one volume and tone for the two microphones is not ideal.

Very good mechanical tuning is done very easily and keeps the concert.
The vibrato is limited but it can do nice effects qq, however it is not his main asset.

SOUNDS

Very versatile guitar, the pickups sound good home but with Di Marzio or Seymour Duncan's foot

blues rock pop crunch is impeccable clear but it is not that the metal is a bit light.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 years.
I like the handle ultra comfortable
his vibrato is good but without more
for a mid-range guitar it's worth, we do not get bored with a floyd, grrr ..
and even home address it allows bcp style.
short if you can not afford to pay you a gibson or a PRS made in USA
santana the SE will satisfy all your desires (with a change in microphone, you will not be disappointed)

Korean guitars, 22 keys, two PRS humbuckers with a three-position selector.
Tune-O-Matic. 2 knob (volume and tone)
Handle very round (typical Gibson Les Paul). A very good config for this jewelry.

UTILIZATION

The neck of this guitar is perfect for fans of Les Paul-type instruments, beautiful curves, a tune stack hair ... The movements of the handle is facilitated by the varnish on the handle. It's a set neck so that promote sustain "a good sustain that does not equal the high end PRS, Of course." In short, a good lil run. Access to acute is very easy thanks to the cutting of the cutaway. Excellent!
The Santana is light and very nice played with a strap but one thing is a shame, the game really is not sitting easy (difficulty placing agreements throughout the run) but the problem is quickly forgotten because the pleasure is there ! It pleases by its aesthetic "blending standards" (I will explain: despite its form stratabound it still Gibsonian a soul, everything is subjective). The volume knob is not progressive asses revolutionary autant.Le Tonalitéaccomplit knob of the task assigned. No problem!

SOUNDS

This guitar is in pretty good style (Funk, Rock, Blues, or even metal) it provides a nice range of his playing the tone knob. As against the pickups are in my opinion has changed because they have a huge potato (maybe change for Seymour Duncan). The sounds can range from severe to very harsh acute-crystalline Of course, passing by all the intermediaries. The distortion is fat and clean according to the setting of the volume knob. But the top tip of the scraper with tpo is the Crunch, a very good response as a function of pressure médiator.Vraiment shot a lot without being great. This scratching makes good with a Hughes and Kettner Blue 60.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week. It pleases me greatly!
What I like most about it is its aesthetics and comfort of play and use (except the game seated) and what I like least is the pickups that sound too PRS and n ' not have a very high output! but otherwise it's perfect!
