PRS

Description

The PRS NF 53 Satin electric guitar combines classic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology for an instrument that delivers clarity, power, and playability. Inspired by a vintage 1953 model from Paul Reed Smith's personal collection, the NF 53 features a swamp ash body paired with a bolt-on maple neck and maple fretboard. This combination offers an articulate response with warmth and depth, ideal for players who demand a dynamic playing experience.

Innovative Narrowfield DD Pickups for Distinctive Tone

At the core of the NF 53 are PRS's Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups, which use taller bobbins and extra metal between the magnets to create a focused, powerful sound. These pickups deliver rich high-end clarity without unwanted hum, making them perfect for both stage and studio. With a 3-way blade switch and intuitive volume and tone controls, the NF 53 allows players to sculpt their sound with ease.

Precision Hardware for Stability and Sustain

The NF 53 is built for reliability, featuring a steel plate-style bridge that enhances resonance while ensuring rock-solid tuning stability. A bone nut, combined with PRS Phase III tuners with unplated brass shafts, provides smooth tuning adjustments and excellent sustain. Every component of the NF 53 is designed to offer consistency and expressiveness in any playing situation.

Playability Designed for Every Guitarist

With a 22-fret, 25.5" scale length maple neck shaped into PRS's Pattern 53 profile, the NF 53 offers a comfortable playing experience for all styles. The 10" fretboard radius facilitates smooth bends and fast runs, while the bolt-on construction enhances attack and clarity. A satin nitro finish provides a sleek, smooth feel that encourages effortless movement up and down the neck.

Classic Look, Modern Versatility

The NF 53 embodies PRS's commitment to artistry and innovation, with a satin nitro finish that highlights the natural beauty of the swamp ash body. Signature PRS bird inlays adorn the maple fretboard, adding a touch of elegance to the guitar's design. Whether you're a professional musician or an aspiring guitarist, the NF 53 offers a unique blend of old-school tone and modern playability.
