- Carlos Santana talks with PRS guitar founder, Paul Reed Smith and explores what to look for in a new guitar. He says the best guitars serve your creativity-they feel comfortable (not fussy), like an old t-shirt so a musician can focus on playing from the heart. Carlos salutes Paul for his mastery in guitar making, expressing that because PRS guitars are so solidly built, musicians who play them can draw forth the song from inside themselves with ease.
I can listen to Carlos Santana talk all day. Very poetic and speaks from the soul just as much as his playing.
I'm 66 and i just started to learn to play so i went and bought a prs guitar.I chose this make because of the care that this company puts into its instruments.This guitar is a lovely thing.
I hope when this man passes, that his company thrives and lives on and sticks to its principles that have gotten it this far.
Love Santana and PRS guitars.
Carlos is one of the few ORIGINAL guitarists left on the planet! Pure genius!
Santana put PRS guitar on the map, the tone and how he plays PRS guitar on stage really seem to be a perfect match
I'm 27, and after saving substantially for years as a kid and being gifted a final X-mas sum of money from my grandfather who passed, my parents put the finishing touches on my PRS savings + upped my dream pacakge. I have had my Custom 24 PRS Artist Package (Tortoise shell finish) since 2007. Once I ordered it I had to wait several months for it to be constructed. Like Santana states, when it arrived, the look, the feel, the smell, it was special. It is an incredibly well built instrument that I keep pushing and pushing, yet more and more beautiful responses come out of it and I learn more of it's capibility as each day passes. It never siezes to amaze me and I grow more fond of it every day. Thanks PRS and all those who put my guitar together! I hope it will be a family heirloom as time passes.
Carlos is one of the few guitarists in the world who has 'it'. BB, EVH, Clapton, Beck, SRV, Eric Johnson, Slash, and few other household names...That category. You hear him play one note, and you immediately know who's playing. Just listen to that rich, saturated tone. That's purely HIM, no gimmicks. He is a continued inspiration to just forget technique and gadgets, and let my soul pour out through the instrument.
Carlos goes deep in his praise for Paul Reed Smith and his guitars.
What a nice Honor.. Way to go Paul..Carlos, Very well spoken my man..
When people are sincere what would sound like a load of new age BS in someone else's mouth takes on deep meaning...Santana really moves not only with his music but with his sincere passion and his inner being!
Folks, there is but one way to have an opinion and that is to grab one (any guitar for that matter), plug it in to a few different amps and play it for a bit. In the end you may be surprised at what you end up choosing if you ignore all the stuff people say and just judge for yourself. There is no perfect guitar out there. Lots of really good guitars, but based on your playing ability, ear for sound, style and of course $$$ in your wallet, what makes a good guitar is what works for you. If what you choose brings out the best in you, then you have found a winner, whatever brand and model it may be. Rock on people!
Carlos is not only a legendary guitarist, but also a philosopher! Fantastic interview, thanks for sharing it with us Paul :)
Carlos is such good humble man with a big heart for people
My CE 24 is my first PRS and is the most versatile guitar I've ever played. Whatever tone I want I can get from this guitar. I like my Les Paul and my Strat but I love my CE 24. It's the first guitar since my first LP Custom I bought in the 70s that makes me want to pick it up and play every day. Congrats to Mr. Smith for the work he does.
Still loved his sound with the SG and fender amps
Over the years I've had far too many Guitars to even count. At
I have the PRS SE Satana. Love it!!!! He is so right, it feels so good to hold and play. It fits perfect every time.
A lot of guitarists can mimic Carlos and his licks. But nobody can create what he created. Those that question the master because you can't understand him, will never be what Carlos what he is.
How lucky we are to have great people like Paul Reed Smith and Santana (as well as many others) to make all this possible for us. I know you top guys will probably never read anything like this, but we are grateful. Thanks! Ron in Texas.
