have you heard the story aobut how sanana hooked up with paul reed smith- very similar-- PRS was desparete to get a guitar santana to try and carlos was like no way 1,000 times then finally he was like all fine, ill try your guitar, and he tried it in concert for 10 seconds and took it off and PRS was like let me tweak the pickups and it will be perfect and hes all no. and PRS begged him and santana was like- fine. then santana loved the guitar and told PRS i'm keeping it but not paying you and PRS didnt tell him this but it was actually Howard Leese's guitar so PRS had to beg carlos to get it back with promise of a new even better one, then he recorded the entire Zeebop album on it
