PRS NF 53 Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, White Doghair

With a rich, woody aesthetic and knockout electronics, the PRS NF 53 is designed for daring musical maneuvers. Those looking for a standout piece among the PRS catalog need look no further.

Combining classic tonality with a breakneck modern design, the NF 53 takes inspiration from one of Paul Reed Smith's very own guitars dating back to 1953. This inspiration manifests in a couple of areas while the guitar remains a striking creation all its own. The NF 53 starts with a body made of swamp ash with a Flat Top carve. This single-cutaway body carries comfortably and presents an eye-catching White Doghair finish for anyone passing to do a double take. The swamp ash body is paired with a scarfed maple bolt-on neck in a PRS Pattern 53 profile, perfect for a smooth grip in the palm. Maple also constitutes a fingerboard bearing twenty-two frets and PRS Birds inlays for that PRS stamp of authenticity. A 10" fingerboard radius measures flatter than the average modern board for a playing experience on the fingers that feels up to date and ready for excitement.

Tonally, the NF 53 comes alive with two PRS Narrowfield DD pickups. These "Deep Dish" pickups alter the original PRS Narrowfield design to incorporate taller bobbins to fit more winds in between the pickups' magnets for a more concise, focused and powerful sound. PRS Narrowfields, known for their tonal balance between single-coil and humbucking, summon a great deal of audible kick for being musically expressive. When combined with a number of fine hardware specs for playability, these Narrowfield humbuckers are a dream. The NF 53 comes equipped with a PRS Plate Style steel bridge and PRS Vintage-Style Non-Locking tuners. These two additions to the guitar stabilize the playing experience effectively for sturdiness and consistency.

Across the NF 53, players will surely find something to latch onto and start playing. For PRS fans new and experienced, this model is a winner.
