Inspired by a '53 from Paul's vintage guitar collection, the NF 53 is carved from a resonant slab of swamp ash with a svelte cutaway for added comfort. Its maple Pattern 53-shaped neck provides familiar playability, complemented perfectly by this solidbody electric guitar's maple, 10-inch-radius, 22-fret fingerboard, and 25.5-inch scale length. You'll be awestruck by the focused, powerful tone yielded by the NF 53's PRS Narrowfield DD pickups. You also get top-shelf hardware, including a PRS plate-style bridge, barrel-style saddles, and vintage-style tuners. And, of course, the NF 53 includes the company's iconic Birds fingerboard inlays, ensuring that nobody mistakes the NF 53 for anything other than a PRS. A killer modern bolt-on with a few well-placed nods to its vintage counterparts, the Paul Reed Smith NF 53 is another classic in the making.

A solid, no-frills player

At its core, the NF 53 is a no-frills classic rock machine. It boasts a tried-and-tested single-cut swamp ash body, along with a bolt-on maple neck and fingerboard. That said, its graceful cutaway scoop, comfortable neck carve, and built-for-speed fingerboard radius propel this solidbody electric guitar firmly into the twenty-first century. Its plate-style bridge offers precise intonation while also nodding to its roots. Moreover, the NF 53 features vintage-style tuners for maximum reliability.

PRS Narrowfield DD pickups

The PRS NF 53 comes loaded with a set of Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups. This pair is carefully voiced to simultaneously deliver the best characteristics of a humbucker, a P-90, a traditional single-coil, and a mini humbucker. That said, it's constructed with taller bobbins than PRS's typical Narrowfields. This design makes room for more winds and extra metal pieces in between its magnets, yielding a tone that's more focused and powerful than previous Narrowfields. The NF 53 includes volume and tone knobs, along with a 3-way blade switch, giving you access to a full range of classic tones.
