Win Santana’s Guitar!

3:18 PM GMT 29/09/2008

IN THIS MONTH’S MAGAZINE, Carlos Santana tells MOJO how the archangel Metatron visited him in the late-’90s and decreed his commercial revival. Sound crackers? Perhaps. But he’s the Multi-Dimensional Warrior, and you’re not, so there.

But the good folks at PRS (that’s Paul Reed Smith) Guitars and their brethren at Sony/BMG are offering you (yes, you) the opportunity to ascend to Señor Santana’s lofty spiritual plane.

Carlos Santana is one of PRS Guitars’ longstanding endorsees, and the PRS Santana SE model was created with his detailed input. The guitar’s twin humbucking pickups create the kind of rich, full-bodied tone that his nibs is renowned for. You’ll find it looks a bit like this...

One lucky winner gets to plug this baby in and commune with the Godhead. Winner plus nine runners-up take home a copy of Multi-Dimensional Warrior, the 2-CD Santana retrospective compiled by the man himself. With 14 vocal tracks and 14 instrumental tracks culled from the 1970 to 2003, it’s a compilation for the Santana savant rather than Johnny-come-lately owners of the 9 Grammy-winning Supernatural.

Albums represented include Abraxas, Spirits Dancing In The Flesh, Beyond Appearances, Milagro, Food For Thought, Moonflower, Festival, Blues For Salvador, Freedom, Ceremony, Marathon, Amigos, Zebop! and Shaman. It’s out today, and you can find the full tracklisting here.

For a chance to win, send us the correct answer to the following question. Black Magic Woman, from Santana’s 1970 album, Abraxas, was a tribute to one of Carlos’s favourite guitar players. Was it…

a) Eric Clapton?
b) Peter Green?
c) Hank Marvin?

Don’t forget to include postal details and contact address, and get your entry in by October 20.
