The SE line from PRS is their more cost "conscious" line of guitars.  They are made in Indonesia but all the reviews just rave about quality of the line.  And my guitar Idol, Santana, has a signature guitar in both the core line and the SE line.  I'm embarrassed to say I own both a core Santana and an SE Santana.  It's a long story but I came across the SE Santana in a guitar store when my wife and I went on a week-end getaway in Kansas City.  I bought it with the intent of playing it for a short while and then sell it.  I just haven't gotten aroud to do that.

But I just came across this on Reverb and can't believe how cool this is.  If my wife knew I was even looking at this......well, you know!!!!!!

Unless you are a huge Santana fan you would not be aware that this is the cover art from Santana's second album, Abraxas, released just after Woodstock.  

How cool is this?!?!?!?

From Wikipedia:  "The album cover features the 1961 painting Annunciation by German-French painter Mati Klarwein.[6] According to the artist, it was one of the first paintings he did after relocating to New York City. Carlos Santana reportedly noticed it in a magazine and asked that it be on the cover of the band's upcoming album.[7] On the back of the record sleeve the cover art is just credited to 'MATI'. It is now considered a classic of rock album covers.[6][8][9] Klarwein went on to design album artwork for many notable artists, including Miles DavisHerbie HancockEarth, Wind & Fire, and Gregg Allman."

Mucho Cool!  Does this mean you are riding the conga vibe with this cherry Abraxas Axe?

And when confronted with your guitar porn habit did you respond, "Oye Como Va!"???

AND YES, I love my SE's.

Sí, lo hice!  😆 

@Clayton I did not realize that you own/play SE's.  Did I?!?!  When did this happen?  How did I miss this?
