I’ve owned this puppy for a year now. It is a damn joy to play, I feel like it’s a hidden gem. With a little distortion or overdrive this thing rips. Workhorse and butter feel. PRS knocks the MIM fenders out of the water.
Wish the gold single cut was still around. And, I'd really LOVE to see a few other colors like WHALE BLUE and EMERALD GREEN IN THE DOUBLE CUT SANTANA. REALLY WISH THE PRS SE ONE AND KORINA SOAPBAR WAS STILL AROUND!
I have owned a PRS Santana for several years. It sounds great, is versatile, and is VERY easy to play. I own other major brand guitars and somehow I always gravitate to this guitar. And yes, you can seriously "Santana" with this guitar.
I had one and loved it. I had some Core McCarty pups installed in it and it was just amazing. I sold it and regret it. But I still love the SE Singlecut Santana model (the Egyptian Gold model).
Also, love the shorter 24.5 scale with 24 frets! Cant find that anywhere! The neck on the SE didn't seem to be as big as the core, which is good! I can get along with the SE wide fat profile but prefer wide thin. Wnd my favorite neck profile on any guitar ive ever played (and own) is the early 90's CE24'S.
Just wait for a while, they will release it in the future. I was glad I waited for the color that I really like of the PRS SE 24-08 (turquoise color). Have faith
I am the proud owner of one the 2022 models. Great guitar, I love the neck, the volume response, and sounds I get out of it. I think I found my dream Santana as a retro Green Fade Smokeburst. Stunning guitar. If a green fade smokeburst SE equivalent would drop, I’m first in line.
The Santana double-cut body shape is fantastic. I wish PRS would offer the Santana body shape in more models. Very ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing symmetry.
Honestly, I did not like mine when I first got it. It had a horrible setup out of the box, and I thought I made a big mistake. After replacing the stock tuners with PRS Locking tuners and fixing the setup, it's playing like butter now. Tuning stability is great. Best guitar at this price point that I've found.
I have this guitar, but 2010 version, and i change hardware, nut, tremolo, electronics, pots, pickup covers, lock tuners and buttons, and now think put 57/08 pick ups, in my channel have a video, looks great
I was gifted with a Santana SE five years ago. Didn’t like the pickups, so I installed Lollar Low Wind Imperials. But, was preferring my STRAT tones, so I sold it. A week later I incurred a $1,000 car repair, which was paid for by the sale. Miss the guitar, as it played like butter, and was very well made.
I tried one recently at Guitar Center. It's a good guitar... HOWEVER (and you knew that was coming), it really feels like it wants to be a Gibson but doesn't want to commit to "the bit". That's the impression I get from it. I've never found a PRS I wanted to own, but this came close. And I really hate this bird inlays.
Thank you PRS for letting me review this cool guitar! Sounds great!
You seriously shred, I liked listening to you. Subscribed.
Great Job!

I still have my 2013 emerald green SE Santana. I love that thing💚

This Santana and the PRS DW CE 24 has the best volume/tone pod placement, far away from hand's way, perfect.
Depends on your playing style. That's a negative point for me, but I like to ride the controls a lot.
Also, love the shorter 24.5 scale with 24 frets! Cant find that anywhere!

I just so enjoyed the lady's playing. Excellent guitar with great demonstration.
That guitar should have the Santana headstock design.
Its got the more popular PRS headstock
Would cost a bit more then, I think.
@@smithjeff3002I’d certainly pay a bit extra for a closer version to the normal Santana headstock.
@@TimCz83 I think I’m nutty enough to just buy a Core and deal with it!🤣🤪

God I love this guitar........Such a great instrument.

I see that Tremonti amp in the back!!
Magic!

Cool SE model, great demo.
Thank you so much ☺️

Lovely guitar, great demo🎸🎸🎸
Thank you!
You play the guitar like Peter Frampton, when he does lead, he doesn't use his pinky.... and you're awesome!!
Thank you so much!
With the sale I love this guitar. If i didn't spend in the core i would definitely grab this❤

Great Demo Jimena .
I love the yellow finish, but I'll buy the orange one if it comes out. And I'm probably not the only one 🙂
Jimena just sold PRS tons of Santanas from this: fantastic show of how great this guitar is.
The SEs are just….wow
I hope PRS prensents PREIVOUS Santana SE Version as well. (With proper knobs placement near pickups, 22 frets, short scale)
❤ An extraordinary guitar 🎸
Orgullo latino!!
Si! Arriba Latinoamerica!
I do wish the headstock was a little softer in design. Maybe not exactly like Carlos’s but slightly rounded would’ve been a nice ode to Carlos.
At first I was like wtf are you talking about.. I never realized the USA Santana has a different headstock from other models
Will there be bother colors? Such as whale and sapphire blue colors?
Good to see Jimena doing a play through for PRS. Great player.
I must agree. She's terrific.
Thank you so much! ☺️🤘🏼
@@audiophileman7047thank you! Means a lot!
Is there a new CE24 model on the horizon (SE or not)?
There’s a new SE CE24 that will be announced on the 10th at the latest
With your playing, you can make any guitar sound terrific. ❤ Thanks for the guitar rundown. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m glad you liked it!

play like Santana not just like everybody !
2001年SE SANTANAを持っているけど大事に使います😃

I've never played an SE model in a store...that didn't feel fantastic straight off the rack.
If it wasn't for the flock of seagulls i would get one.

no locking tuners
6 points trem
bad points
This needs to be a lefty. I didn't like the new 2023 colours. But it played great, but didn't buy
