The Paul Reed Smith Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library Santana Retro in Violet is a breathtaking masterpiece, a seamless blend of vintage inspiration and modern precision. At its heart, a figured Ten Top maple top graces a mahogany body, delivering a tonal foundation rich in warmth and resonance while shimmering under stage lights with an ethereal glow. The deep, luscious violet finish enhances the maple’s natural figuring, making this guitar as visually stunning as it is sonically powerful.

Its 24.5" scale length and Santana Pre-Factory neck carve, meticulously shaped from East Indian rosewood, provide an effortlessly smooth playing experience, perfectly suited for fluid leads and expressive bends. The Santana fret wire ensures a substantial yet refined feel beneath the fingers, while the WL - J-Birds inlays, adorned with abalone outlines, dance across the fretboard like celestial constellations.

Equipped with PRS Phase III locking tuners and a Gen III patented tremolo system, this instrument remains steadfastly in tune through even the most expressive vibrato and dive-bomb flourishes. The Santana treble and bass pickups, sculpted to capture the legendary sustain and creamy articulation that define Carlos Santana’s tone, are paired with a three-way toggle switch and volume/tone controls, offering a palette of rich, harmonically complex sounds.

Dressed in smoked black hardware, this guitar exudes a bold and sophisticated aesthetic, balancing elegance with a touch of mystique. Weighing in at 8 lbs 4 oz, it feels substantial yet perfectly balanced, an extension of the player’s soul. Housed in a premium hard case, the PRS Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library Santana Retro is not just an instrument—it’s a statement, a legacy, and a dream realized.
