I , (Yamaha Guitars 80s + 90S) , was at the Phoenix Arizona MIM , (Musical Instrument Museum), and came across Carlos Santana's custom made 1976 Yamaha SG2000, Hamamatsu Japan. WHAT A BEAUTY !!!
DEVADIP is the name on the truss rod cover..............Devadip, meaning "The lamp, light and eye of God"
In 1972, Santana became a huge fan of pioneering fusion band The Mahavishnu Orchestra and its guitarist, John McLaughlin. Aware of Santana's interest in meditation, McLaughlin introduced Santana and Deborah to his guru, Sri Chinmoy. Chinmoy accepted them as disciples in 1973. Santana was given the name Devadip, meaning "The lamp, light and eye of God". Santana and McLaughlin recorded an album together, Love, Devotion, Surrender with members of Santana and The Mahavishnu Orchestra, along with percussionist Don Alias and organist Larry Young, who both had made appearances on Miles Davis' classic Bitches Brew in 1969.
