Meet Carlos Santana

Pre-dating the company itself, Carlos Santana’s longstanding creative partnership with Paul Reed Smith has done much to shape the destiny of PRS Guitars. Famously one of Paul Smith’s first major endorsements, it was Carlos’s early blessing that elevated PRS Guitars onto the global stage, paving the way to where we are today. Over the years, we have honored this pivotal alliance by offering variations of his signature instruments from SE to Private Stock.

Truly worthy of the term “living legend,” Carlos Santana has been a driving force in popular music for nearly six decades. One of those rare players who is instantly recognizable from a just single note. He is a sonic pioneer, not only as a genre-blending recording artist, but he has also been immensely influential on the guitar and amplifier industries.
