A Modern Tribute to the 1953 Solidbodies
Designed in the spirit of the first solidbody guitars, the PRS NF 53 modernizes a 1953 icon dear to Paul Reed Smith. It retains the ergonomics and simplicity of the historic models while incorporating PRS's manufacturing precision and rethought electronics for both stage and studio use.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a responsive and versatile instrument, the NF 53 excels in pop, rock, country, funk, and blues. Its smooth playability and tuning stability also make it an excellent companion for motivated beginners looking for a durable guitar.
Sound
The Narrowfield DD pickups combine the clarity of a single coil with the foundation of a humbucker: taller coils, more windings, and added metal parts for a defined, powerful, and hum-free sound. The 3-position selector covers crisp rhythm tones in the treble position, full and "glassy" cleans in the middle, and smooth leads in the bass position. The volume/tone controls offer a wide palette, from expressive crunch to crystalline clean, with generous sustain supported by PRS hardware.
