Carlos Santana began
playing the guitar at a young age and his unique
Latin-Blues style started turning heads almost immediately.
In the 1970s, Carlos began breaking the boundaries
and fusing his style with other genres. It was during
this journey, when Carlos Santana was turned on to
PRS guitars. After borrowing a PRS to use on his
1981 record, Zebop!, he knew he had to have one of
his own. Carlos collaborated with Paul Reed Smith to build
a guitar unlike any other. This guitar had to sound
and play as good as it looked. This guitar eventually
made it to production as the Santana II in 1995.
As
Carlos’ style matured, his guitar had to
mature with him. He wanted a guitar that could do
it all. “Let’s work on a guitar that’s
like a box of crayons. So you can get all the colors,
all the flavors. Why not have chocolate and peanut
butter? Why not just put them all together?” It
was this idea that spawned the new Santana MD or
Santana ‘Multi-Dimensional’ guitar.
