zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Experience PRS's take on the distinctive Nashville twang with the NF 53. The guitar's set of Narrowfield Deep Dish pickups offers a modern, punchy tone.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
PRS Narrowfield DD "S" pickups Humbuckers with single coil twang
Swamp ash body Clear highs, strong mids and huge lows
Maple neck Bright tone, full sustain and strength
25.5-inch scale neck Increases string tension for tighter bottom end

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. 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.

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.

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.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
So I was in the market for a Telecaster type guitar and I stumbled upon the NF53. Basically the narrowfield pickups are capable of everything from country twang to crushing metal. If you know how to actively use your volume and tone knobs you will find you can cull the herd of your guitar collection because of the wide area of sonic ground this thing covers. Overall 9/10. Only reason its not a 10/10 is because it comes with a gigbag instead of a case.
