The year was 1976. Carlos Santana was in his dressing room waiting to play a gig at the Capital Center in Washington D.C. A tall, slender 20 year old Paul Reed Smith with abundant curly hair and wire-rimmed glasses made his way backstage with a guitar he’d just built for Peter Frampton. This was the start of a life-long partnership and creative partnership that has done much to shape the destiny of Paul Reed Smith Guitars.

To celebrate this pivotal alliance, PRS is proud to present the 25th Anniversary Santana. Appointments include 24 1/2 “ scale length, 24 fret bound mahogany “Santana” wide fat neck, rosewood fretboard, 25th Anniversary shadow bird inlays and headstock Eagle, purfling strips on the body, Santana pickups with covers and the patented PRS tremolo.
