The PRS SE NF 53 blends timeless design with modern innovation, creating a guitar that’s as versatile as it is powerful. Built on the classic foundation of a swamp ash body and a bolt-on maple neck, the NF 53 captures the soulful spirit of early electric guitars. But with the addition of PRS's unique Narrowfield DD "S" pickups, this instrument delivers a powerful, musical tone without the hum, offering a truly distinctive playing experience.
Exceptional Craftsmanship
From its articulate low-end growl to its classic twang, every detail is engineered to inspire your creativity and expand your sonic palette.
PRS Narrowfield DD “S” Pickups: These unique pickups use taller bobbins and extra metal pieces to create a focused, powerful tone. You get the snarl and twang you expect from a classic single-coil setup, but with the quiet performance of a humbucker, making it perfect for both clean tones and high-gain drive.
Swamp Ash Body: Known for its balanced tone and musicality, the swamp ash body provides a resonant foundation. It delivers bright, clear highs and strong mids, giving the guitar a lively and articulate voice that cuts through the mix.
Plate-Style Bridge with Brass Saddles: This classic bridge design enhances the guitar's natural resonance and sustain. The brass saddles contribute to a bright, snappy attack, adding to the instrument’s overall tonal vibrancy and character.
The Axe That Sparks Creativity
The PRS SE NF 53 is crafted for comfort and effortless playability, allowing you to focus on your performance. Its thoughtful design ensures that from the first chord to the last note of a solo, the guitar feels like a natural extension of your hands.
25.5” Scale Length Maple Neck: The longer scale length provides a snappier string response and brilliant tonal clarity, a favorite for players who love bright, articulate sounds. The bolt-on maple construction adds to the guitar's classic feel and punch.
NF 53 Neck Profile: Designed for comfort and speed, this neck profile strikes a balance between a vintage feel and modern playability. It fills the hand comfortably without feeling bulky, making it easy to navigate the fretboard for complex chords and fast runs.
10" Fretboard Radius: The 10-inch radius offers a comfortable middle ground that’s perfect for both chording and bending. It provides a slightly flatter playing surface than vintage-style guitars, allowing for clean string bends without fretting out.
Classic Looks, Modern Reliability
Every element of the PRS SE NF 53 is built to perform, combining iconic aesthetics with the rock-solid reliability that PRS is known for. It’s a workhorse guitar that looks as good as it sounds, ready for the stage, studio, or home.
Timeless Body Shape: The single-cutaway design with a flat top is an unmistakable nod to electric guitar history, offering a familiar look and feel that’s instantly recognizable.
Simple, Effective Controls: With a master volume, master tone, and a 3-way blade pickup switch, dialing in your perfect sound is straightforward and intuitive. This simple layout lets you quickly shape your tone on the fly.
Included Gig Bag: To protect your investment, the PRS SE NF 53 comes with a high-quality gig bag, ensuring your guitar is safe on the way to gigs, rehearsals, or wherever your music takes you.
Your New Go-To Guitar
The PRS SE NF 53 is more than just an instrument; it's a reliable partner for any musical journey. By combining classic tonal ingredients with modern PRS engineering, it offers a familiar yet refreshingly new playing experience. Whether you're chasing vintage twang or exploring modern sonic textures, the NF 53 is ready to deliver.
