This 2017 PRS Santana Retro is in excellent, nearly unplayed cosmetic condition showing virtually no signs of play wear throughout. The Santana neck profile has just the right amount of chunkiness while retaining very nice rounded shoulders. The fret wire is in flawless condition and shows no signs of play wear. This instrument has been professionally set up and plays outstanding up and down the fingerboard with low action and great intonation.
