Paul Reed Smith has crafted something truly special with the NF 53, a guitar that captures the essence of vintage 1953 tone whilst embracing modern innovation. This powerful instrument features a swamp ash body paired with a 22–fret, 25.5" scale length bolt–on maple neck and maple fretboard, creating the foundation for exceptional playability and resonance.
The heart of the NF 53 lies in its specially designed PRS Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups, which utilise taller bobbins to accommodate more winds and incorporate extra metal pieces between the magnets for a more focused, powerful tone. As Paul Reed Smith himself notes: "I am so pleased with the feedback from the artists who have played this guitar ? everyone is telling us that we have something special here." The beauty of achieving high–end tone without the typical hum makes this guitar a genuine game–changer.
Control is kept simple yet effective with a volume and tone control alongside a 3–way blade pickup switch, allowing players to easily dial in their desired sound. The steel plate–style bridge works in harmony with PRS vintage style tuners and nickel hardware to provide precise tuning stability whilst promoting sustain and powerful tone output.
Available in four stunning finishes ? White Doghair, Black Doghair, Blue Matteo, and McCarty Tobacco Sunburst ? the PRS NF 53 presents an addictive playing experience that will keep you reaching for it time and again. This guitar suits both seasoned professionals and developing players who appreciate quality craftsmanship and exceptional tone.
