TRADED
Up for grabs, my '02 Santana 3 PRS, 10 top in a beautiful Teal Black color, its something of a Chameleon as it looks different in different lights, For instance:

Unusually for a PRS it has actually been gigged and as such shows signs of wear and tear, thankfully though its only the rear of the guitar that shows most wear, there are 3 very small marks on the top but several bruises and a couple of dings on the back along with a fair bit of light marking/buckle rash.I will try to show this in forthcoming pics.

It plays and sounds just as well as you would expect from a PRS, no fretwear, smooth trem and perfect electronics.
Does not have the original case, but does have case candy and hang tag. I will be supplying a serviceable generic case.

Hand signed by Paul on the cavity plate (though this is hardly a rarity nowadays, he must get through a ton of Sharpie's )

I've always wanted a Santana as it was the first PRS I ever saw and fell in love with. I did say to myself if I ever got one though it'd be in his famous orange/red from the Smooth video...

lovely looker though. GLWS

Thanks, I am genuinely surprised this has not found a new home yet at that sort of money.

£1140 for a Santana 10 top, cant be bad can it?

hiya.  quick couple of questions.  - scale length is 24.5 i think?  does it have coil taps or it straight humbuckers and finally does the wear on the back of the neck affect the feel at all

SimpleSimon

Now on ebay for consideably more.....

that's a pain.  i've noticed that they don't sell on ebay though for the money that people ask - they just sit there.

I have the Santana. It's on ebay for more money (with a best offer option) as you tend to get a load of ridiculously low offers on ebay. It's great to be honest, I don't really want to sell it, it's much better than I thought it might be (wasn't sure how well I'd get on with it) but I need to sell something. I have a few guitars up for sale with the intention of pulling the rest as soon as one goes, so if I sell something else first I'm happily keeping the Santana, but that said, I guess it's still reluctantly up for grabs if someone wants it. I didn't bother re-advertising it here as nobody bought it in the first place and I need to try and get £1250 back for it as this is what the trade stands me for. Prudd was a cool guy to deal with by the way

Blimey, and to think I couldnt get £1140 for it, mind you I was a bit more forthcoming about its overall condition and certainly was not suggesting it was  signed at the factory by mr Smith
Not sure where they get the original case bit from, it wasnt with the guitar when I bought it and sold it.

that  guys bought alsorts and doubled the price and made up stuff on other guitars to be fair.
