PRS Guitars Carlos Santana SE One Abraxas: A Guitar With Legendary Acclaim Made Completely Affordable

October 01, 2009
PRS Guitars Carlos Santana SE One Abraxas

Abraxas is one of the most important highlights of Carlos Santana's career, featuring classics such as "Black Magic Woman" and "Samba Pa Ti". Whether or not the album is the result of the use of entheogens in the pursuit of invoking an entity called "Abraxas", it cannot be denied that this album led the way for Santana to shoot up towards the pinnacle of mainstream success. In honor of Carlos Santana's legendary career that has been highlighted with the success of "Abraxas" as well as his long and continuing working relationship with PRS Guitars, the PRS Guitars Carlos Santana SE One Abraxas has been issued.

The Carlos Santana SE One Abraxas is a limited issue electric guitar model that features a whitewash finish with the winged woman graphic from the "Abraxas" album along with a "peace" sign emblazoned on the 12th fret. Wooden components include a mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard, a single soapbar pickup in the bridge position, and one volume control knob only.

While we see premium components going on for the PRS Guitars Carlos Santana SE One Abraxas, it is an unexpected surprise to see a huge degree of simplicity in its design, having only a single bridge soapbar humbucking pickup with only a volume pot to control it. We could probably say that this guitar is making an attempt at capturing Carlos Santana's singular singing tone in his playing, having only a treble pickup, which truly marked the Santana guitar sound as featured in "Abraxas". Being an SE model despite the signature label, the guitar captures Santana's vision of music for everybody to enjoy, highly accessible yet deserving of a legendary guitar players approval.
