Frequently Asked Questions
It’s generally slimmer and more rounded, offering a faster, more comfortable feel – closer to Santana’s original factory specs.
The Gen III tremolo is a significant improvement over older PRS systems; however, proper setup and occasional adjustments are still needed for optimal tuning stability.
Nitro finishes tend to age more gracefully, developing a unique patina over time, and are often considered to offer a slightly more resonant tone, though the difference is subtle.
