Members Faber Posted May 31, 2010 Members Share Posted May 31, 2010 This is quite possibly my favourite Santana tone, and if the video is anything to go by it was made on a lp. I've never seen a lester with a stripe like that in the top - is it a custom job or some special run of gibsons? [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted May 31, 2010 Members Share Posted May 31, 2010 Of course, since the vid shows JLH and Carlos lip- (and finger-) synching, we have no way of knowing from this evidence alone whether that was the same guitar Carlos used on the actual session. Anyone know if he was ever specifically asked what he played in the studio on that track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that little problem OTOH I assumed that he did use that one since CS is otherwise eager to be seen with the PRS. But of course you're correct, there's no way of knowing. Whatever he's using, I like it immensely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
