Sorted PRS Santana MD
Sorted so no longer available
I have been keeping my promises and steadily chipping away at my guitar gear, and having sold the Chris Robertson, I am now down to one guitar, I am just not hundred percent sure that is THE one guitar, which it would need to be
So I am offering this 2008 PRS Santana MD with a specific ideal trade in mind, a different PRS Core guitar
I am pretty much settled that the one guitar would need to be a PRS
Full Fat Santana goodness including original leather artist case
The Santana is in fine condition, and will stand up to any inspection when we get to the ‘You show me yours and I’ll show you mine’ stage - bit of tarnishing on the pickup covers as is usual
The quality and workmanship on this Santana is outstanding, I love the 24 Frets, the Santana pick ups and pretty much most about this guitar speaks to me
But I don’t want to settle for the one guitar being 90% there if it can be bettered.
In a perfect world, I would be able to afford to keep a few Core PRS and this would be staying for sure, but I get on better with the traditional PRS custom shape in preference to the Santana double cut
To narrow it down for an ideal trade, definitely set neck, definitely not wide thin neck - Pattern Regular ideal but wide fat doable, fancy trying a Pattern Vintage

Definitely 25 inch scale or less, I would be super interested in a Core 594 and not overly heavy so would also be very interested in a semi Hollow, prefer 24 frets so Custom 24 is a goer but 22 frets would not be a dealbreaker for a special guitar
HH would be preferable, quite like some of the newer pickups so a recent model is attractive
So in essence, if somebody has a rather special or interesting PRS Core to trade and would like to add a Santana to their arsenal without going through protracted, selling and experiencing dispiriting part exchange values I will be very keen to discuss a potential trade, I could also offer a bit of cash for something super special HH would be preferable, quite like some of the newer pickups so a recent model is attractive

PRS SE Chris Robertson Sold
The cull continues, and my promises have to be kept, having moved on the Genz I am looking to reduce my guitars now to 1 or two guitars maximum and this just makes the hit list as I have another PRS which is a double cut
This has a PRS USA Tremonti in the bridge and a BareKnuckle Stockholm P90 in the neck, I do have the original P90, which the buyer can have for free of course
The previous owner also sanded the neck down to get rid of stickiness and added SE locking tuners Schaller Strap buttons and a PRS American nut
Has a great range of sounds having separate tone and volume controls for each pick up and a coil split, of course for the bridge, pick up
Being scrupulous, as I always try to be, there are a couple of little dinks that I have tried to capture as best I can in the photographs, a couple on the top side of the body and a small dink on the side of the fretboard
Tiny bit of fretwear
really not much at all, and is in good condition otherwise.
Happy to take some more photographs of course
The other thing to mention, is that this example, it’s not overly heavy, which these Chris Robertson’s can be, I don’t have any accurate scales, but I would put it at 7 1/2 pounds approximately
All in all an ideal gigging workhorse, I would say given the useful changes and good value I think at £460 - Sold
Comes with the SE Gig Bag, so shipping is difficult, a mug of tea awaits in Nottingham for a leisurely strum and a chinwag, I could potentially meet in the typical Fretboard car park but I’m unable to travel very far. I am afraid.

Chris Robertson sold
Santana MD up for trade
But, don't do something you might regret!
I do love it, been passing time playing a couple of the newer customs and specials in some dealers recently and had my eye turned a bit… just questioning if I can only have one……beginning to fall out of love a bit if you know what I mean, not sure if it’s gas or balanced reasoning which is why I resisted doing the deal there and then, the Santana would be near impossible to replace but mulling over if that’s a good enough reason .. also tried a PJE , I can now see why you like them so much, could be swayed by one of those too….
