PRS 305 Anniverssary

Very nice axe! I've never tried a single coil equipped PRS. A PRS has it's own thing going, for sure.

Just out of curiosity, have you detached the pickups yet? Maybe the bobbins themselves are standard. But if it sounds great, why bother  8) A BKP rewind is an option though, if you want to change it.

Hmm... I think I'm with Gwem on this one... does look very nice, but not quite my thing looks-wise :lol:

I like the finish, but it's venturing too far into that "trying to be a strat but not managing it" territority that I can't seem to get over for certain guitars. Probably if I owned it myself, and liked the feel/sound, I could cure myself of this strat-snobbery in just a few months! :lol:

I know what you mean - as I've said though it doesn't feel like a strat and if they have tried to make it look and feel like one they haven't tried very hard - three a side tuners, set neck, angled headstock, thicker body all make it very different. It does sound like a strat though.......

I think the pups under the covers are more or less standard sized single coils - unusual decision to make a guitar like this and not be able to swap them out if you want....I take the point about a rewind though  8)

I read somewhere that the 513/305 pickups started out as PRS bass pickups, but I don't know how they're actually constructed.
