Vintage Spirit. Timeless Tone.

“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. If you are a fan of this style and tone, the NF 53 will take you where you want to go. To me, to have this kind of beautiful high end without the hum is game changing.”– Paul Reed Smith

The PRS NF 53 is a powerful guitar that combines classic tones with modern design. Inspired by one of Paul Reed Smith’s vintage guitars from 1953, the PRS NF 53 combines a swamp ash body and 22-fret, 25.5" scale length bolt-on maple neck with maple fretboard with a special set of PRS Narrowfield pickups. PRS Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups are made with taller bobbins to fit more winds and extra metal pieces in between the magnets for a more focused, powerful tone.

Paired with a volume and tone control and 3-way blade pickup switch, the NF 53 allows players to easily dial in their sound. The steel plate-style bridge, bone nut, and PRS Phase III tuners with unplated brass shafts all work together to provide precise and reliable tuning stability while promoting sustain and powerful tone. Whether you are a seasoned player or just starting out, the PRS NF 53 is an addictive guitar you won’t want to put down.

Features:

• PRS Plate-Style Bridge, Steel - Plate-style design made with steel for lively tone and brass saddles for sustain and tuning fidelity.
• PRS Phase III Non-Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons - With vintage elegance, these lightweight tuners promote tone transfer for a louder, more resonant instrument.
• PRS Narrowfield DD Pickups - "Deep Dish" pickups with a mixed magnet/steel pole piece design that deliver musical highs without losing bass and becoming anemic.
