I am offering a PRS Santana 25th Anniversary 10 Top from 2010, a made in Stevensville, Maryland (USA), 25th company anniversary signature special model of Mexican guitar virtuoso Carlos Santana with resonant mahogany body (weighing only 3.62kg in total!), beautifully figured carved 10-top flamed maple top, set-in mahogany neck with Santana Wide Fat neck profile, bound rosewood fingerboard with elaborate 25th Anniversary Shadow Birds inlays, sonically versatile PRS 25th Anniversary Santana bass & treble humbuckers, high-quality PRS USA tremolo bridge, and PRS Phase II locking tuners in a brilliant Angry Larry high-gloss finish with nickel hardware and various embellishments made of precious woods, abalone and mother-of-pearl in excellent condition, including PRS luxury hardshell case, manufacturer's papers, and professional setup with 10-gauge Elixir strings.

The PRS Santana 25th Anniversary 10-Top from 2010 is a signature luxury model by Carlos Santana, handmade in Stevensville, Maryland (USA) to mark the company's 25th anniversary. It is one of the most sophisticated Core models to have left the PRS Custom workshop, both in terms of sound and appearance.

The body, made of resonant mahogany wood with a great weight of only 3.62kg, features a carved, spectacularly figured 10-top flamed maple top that makes the sought-after purple-red “Angry Larry” finish shine with fascinating depth. The set-in mahogany neck with Santana Wide Fat profile feels comfortable and solid in the hand, while the bound rosewood fingerboard with exclusive 25th Anniversary Shadow Birds inlays offers a masterful combination of elegance and attention to detail.

Electrically, the model delivers exactly the warm, singing tone that made Carlos Santana's sound world-famous: a PRS 25th Anniv. Santana Bass Humbucker at the neck provides full, creamy mids and velvety highs, while the PRS 25th Anniv. Santana Treble Humbucker at the bridge guarantees precise articulation and crystal-clear assertiveness. Together with the PRS Tremolo Bridge and PRS Phase II Locking Tuners, this results in exceptionally stable tuning and dynamic performance that effortlessly conveys even the finest nuances.

A sound sample of the model (in a different finish) can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

The “25th Anniversary” special features also include numerous extras such as mother-of-pearl and abalone inlays, a bound fingerboard, the 25th Anniversary Eagle Headstock logo, and a Santana engraving on the truss rod cover.
