First pictures of this guitar date back to the recording of the first album in May 1969, and they are pretty solid proof that Santana used the guitar to record some of the stuff on the first album – if not all. At that time the guitar was finished in TV yellow, and featured two P90 pickups as well as the Maestro tremolo.
By December 1969 when Santana played at Altamont, the guitar was almost completely stripped down of it’s paint and the tremolo was removed leaving visible screw holes. Since we know that his two SG Specials also had the tremolo piece, it is possible that the Maestro from this guitar ended up on one of his SGs.
