Not sure if Im doing the right thing here, but here goes, stunning 10 top in Smoked Amber on a 25th Anniversary Santana. All the case candy is present

usual top top quality PRS build quality and attention to detail, plays as good as it looks and does sound different to the custom 22/24 PRS's that I own, more mid range and punch IMO. Light at around 7 and 1/2 lbs.

Now, unusually for a PRS it has been gigged and does have a few marks here and there, I will attempt to get some pics up of those later. Nothing horrible, but if your looking for a collectors guitar, this aint it, but its priced accordingly. There is some worming and light marks on the rear, a small bruise and a few tiny pin dents on the top and a small ding on the corner of the headstock.The case also has wear and tear on it, again nothing unpleasent, but it is there.

please come and try it in Dunstable, or alternatively I will courier it, fully insured at cost (around £40 at a guess) to within the UK only.

£1550

I have the original receipt for £2699 from a UK PRS dealer

Looking at the pics taken in the sun yesterday, it looks more red than it is, it more tobbacco sunburst than cherry.

Hi @SimpleSimon thanks for the offer. As it happens, one of the reasons I have put the santana up for sale is that Ive got my eye on an SC58 on ebay. I wil give it some thought if thats OK ,and get back to you asap.

SimpleSimon

no worries @prudd dont forget mine has the artist appointments and case etc. Let me know if you need any info etc.

prudd

yes, I am aware of that, the one Im looking at is also an Artist, not far from you in Sheffield in fact:

I will load up some pics showing the defects on the Santana in a while.

prudd

here are some attempts at showing the various marks and dings, really hard to photograph, well at least they were with my skills as a photographer.

Just seen that one, listed as mint. Though noticed his feedbacks a bit lacking...........

prudd

Yeah, noticed that, but even though he only has around 98% I can only find one negative comment. Its collection only, so would thoroughly check it out and pay cash on collection if I did get to go for it.
Thanks for the input.

I must admit I don't usually like these but this one looks really,really nice! The colour and vibe is spot on.Hope you get sorted man!

I know they are not the most popular PRS model, din't think it would fly out the door, even at a very reasonable price, but it is one hell of a guitar.
