The PRS NF 53 delivers a compelling fusion of vintage-inspired tone and contemporary precision. Modeled after a 1953 guitar from the personal collection of Paul Reed Smith, this instrument channels early electric guitar character while incorporating modern refinements for today’s performers.Built with a swamp ash body and a 22-fret, 25.5” scale bolt-on maple neck topped with a maple fretboard, the NF 53 offers bright articulation, snap, and balanced resonance. Its PRS Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups are uniquely engineered with taller bobbins to accommodate additional windings, along with extra metal components placed between the magnets. The result is a tighter, more concentrated magnetic field that produces a bold, focused tone with impressive clarity and output.Simple, player-friendly controls—volume, tone, and a 3-way blade switch—allow for effortless tonal adjustments. A steel plate-style bridge, bone nut, and PRS Phase III tuners featuring unplated brass shafts enhance sustain, strengthen tonal depth, and provide dependable tuning stability.From seasoned professionals to developing players, the PRS NF 53 stands out as an inspiring, highly playable guitar that invites you to keep coming back for more.
Features:
- Plate-style bridge design crafted from steel for a vibrant, resonant tone, paired with brass saddles to enhance sustain and ensure precise, reliable tuning stability.
- Blending vintage-inspired style with modern performance, these lightweight tuners enhance vibration transfer for increased resonance, improved sustain, and a more dynamically responsive instrument.
- “Deep Dish” pickups feature a hybrid magnet and steel pole piece design that produces articulate, musical highs while maintaining a full, punchy low end—never thin or lacking in body.
