Overview

A modern take on vintage-inspired tone.

The PRS NF 53 electric guitar blends classic aesthetics with modern innovation for an instrument that delivers versatility, 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 results in a snappy, articulate response with warmth and depth, ideal for players who demand a dynamic playing experience.

Innovative Narrowfield DD Pickups for Distinctive Tone

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

A bone nut, combined with PRS Phase III tuners with unplated brass shafts, ensures smooth tuning adjustments and excellent sustain. This meticulously crafted hardware package allows the NF 53 to deliver a consistent, expressive performance in any setting.

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 neck construction enhances attack and clarity. The semi-gloss nitro neck finish further improves feel, making extended playing sessions effortless.

Classic Look, Modern Versatility

The NF 53 embodies PRS's commitment to artistry and innovation, with a high-gloss nitro finish that showcases 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.
