The PRS NF 53 is a powerful new guitar from PRS that offers an alternative take on a classic guitar design with a contemporary and modern aesthetic. Inspired by one of Paul Reed Smith’s vintage guitars from 1953, the PRS NF 53 combines a lighter weight Swamp Ask body with subtle innovative front and rear curves and contours to enable the playing experience to feel modern and comfortable in a familiar kind of way. The guitar features a swamp ash body, 22-frets, 25.5” scale length and bolt-on maple neck with maple fretboard plus a set of directly body mounted PRS Narrowfield pickups. The 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. A really exciting instrument in so many ways, modern, yes, absolutely.
“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,” said Paul Reed Smith. “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.”
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, PRS vintage style tuners, and nickel hardware all work together to provide precise and reliable tuning stability while promoting sustain and powerful tone. The feel is comfortable too, the additional cutaways make a real difference here and when playing, you could be forgiven that the guitar is another model entirely such is the tone and overall feel of this new instrument from Paul Reed Smith, the NF 53.
