Color Seems A Bit Off
Yet I post the pic I swiped from the seller's website while I wait for a sunny day to take pics. Looks more like antique white than powder blue. Go figger. I totally dig the "modern" bird inlays (in, and I quote, "melon" color), solid alder body, rosewood fretboard, five-way blade pickup selector, tone and volume knobs in PRS's proprietary clear lampshade design and a scalloped, compensated nut. If you don't know what that means, don't worry. It's all good stuff.
UPDATE: Someone asked "Why '305?'" Easy. Three pickups, five positions on the blade selector (neck, neck and middle, middle, middle and bridge and bridge). And yes, these are singlecoil pups, not humbuckers. But they're designed to keep the hum minimized

When I get some sunlight, I'll take some pics that show the color more accurately. The fretboard is as nice piece of rosewood I've seen on a neck.

Funny how the light makes such a difference. It looks like ivory, doesn't look like powder blue. Maybe a pic outside in the sunlight would help show the color more accurately.
Still looks pretty darn pretty.

Three pickups, five positions on the blade selector, and zero defects or flaws of any kind!
