Frequently Asked Questions
The Santana pickups are voiced for a warmer, more saturated tone, leaning towards a smoother, less aggressive character than standard SE humbuckers.
It’s functional, but requires careful setup and isn’t as finely tuned as a US-made PRS trem – expect some minor tuning instability with aggressive use.
It’s definitely on the thicker side; while manageable, players with smaller hands might find it less comfortable for extended playing sessions.
