I just got my 305 in the mail. After months of research I finally decided on a Paul Reed Smith 305. I took a gamble choosing between having a guitar with humbuckers or single coils and couldnt be ha... read more [+]ppier with my decision. These pickups definitely have some b****, the sustain is ridiculously good. This guitar blows any strat I have ever played out of the water.

The craftsmanship is superb, (attention to detail.)

The action is perfect, and the maple neck is extremely comfortable. close [-]
