PRS 305

by Derek Logue from Houston, TX
December 25, 2012
Music Background: Pro Musician, guitar, piano, bass
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 [-]

The PRS 305 is "Absolute Perfection"

Music Background: Guitar player for over thirty years
I am not one to blow smoke up people's butts, and I never write reviews. That said, when the people at Sweetwater asked me if I "would", I just couldn't stop myself.
The PRS is (simply put), th... read more [+]e best sounding, looking, and perfectly manufactured guitar I have ever owned or come across. It's smooth in both action and feel. Tones ring out before you even plug it in. Perfectly setup right out of the case, and you can see and feel the dedication of it's builders in the fit and finish. I am simply blown away and quite proud to be a PRS player and owner. close [-]

The best customer service I've ever received. Never has there been a better buying experience. Sweetwater is always my number one choice for all my needs. The customer service and general reliability is relaxing and just amazing.
