I could never have imagined that I would actually find myself in that very band years later, singing and playing that very song.’ I went to see them live a year later and my senses were equally destroyed, and I vowed that night that music would be my life. Jakko Jakszyk’s story reads like a tale of rock-and-roll dreams: ‘When I was 11 years old my neighbor played me a song called ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ by King Crimson, and it blew my head off. We invite you to spread your wings and find your voice with this beautiful instrument!" said Carlos Santana. It is an honor to add this beautiful guitar to the PRS SE line that I helped start so many years ago. The SE Santana Singlecut Trem has a range and universal tone that delivers with power and clarity, allowing you to find your own voice in your heart's music. "When I think of PRS I think of impeccable integrity! Right out of the case, the guitar looks and feels incredible, but for me it is about the sound, resonance, vibration that allows me to take flight with every note.

Wanting to capture their full-range tone in a special model, Santana and Paul looked to Santana’s personal instruments and choose the gold leaf Singlecut.Īdditional features include the classic Santana/PRS combination of a 24.5” scale length, 24 frets, and a tremolo bridge, the SE Santana Singlecut Trem, providing two full octaves with the comfort of a shorter-scale guitar. Impressed with their tone, Santana requested a set of those pickups without the coil taps, and from there, TCI “S” pickups were born. Modelled after the workhorse gold leaf guitar that Carlos plays on stage, the SE version of this special instrument began when Santana heard the 2018 Paul’s Guitar TCI pickups. The SE Santana Singlecut Trem pays tribute to Santana’s one-off gold leaf Private Stock PRS. Ships with PRS Classic 10-46 strings and gig bag.Īvailable in four distinct colors: Dragon Fruit, Ever Green, Moon White, and Stone Blue.
Other design features include the PRS Silver Sky inverted headstock shape and the PRS double-acting truss rod (accessible from the front of the headstock for ease of use).
This guitar is anchored by a two-point steel tremolo, synthetic bone nut, and vintage-style tuners. Plug it in, and the three single-coil 635JM “S” pickups will bark and sing. The 22-fret, 25.5” scale length neck features the original 635JM carveĪnd an 8.5” fretboard radius, so the PRS SE Silver Sky will feel right at home. The PRS SE Silver Sky starts with a poplar body, bolt-on maple neck, and rosewood fretboard with PRS trademark bird inlays.

On the body of the guitar is an iconic graphic from the Abraxas album cover: a winged woman straddling a conga drum. It is available in only one color: an off-white, semi-opaque finish called “Whitewash.” The oblong, organically-shaped pickguard (tortoise shell) begins at the neck, wraps around the pickup and bridge, and ends up just below the Volume control. Very ’60s GraphicsĮven more striking than the configuration of this Abraxas guitar is its appearance. Evidently, Paul Reed Smith and Santana were shooting for minimalism on this guitar, as the only control is a single volume knob, placed fairly close to the bridge. It should be noted that while Gibson Les Paul Specials had two pickups (bridge and neck), the SE One Abraxas has only a single pickup. Similar to the P-90 pickups boasted by the Gibson Les Paul Special, it has a plain plastic cover with a row of screws running through the center. Watch the Videoįurther cementing the “vintage” feel of this guitar is the standard “stop tail” bridge, as well as the “soap bar” pickup in the bridge position.
