PRS SE NF53 Black Doghair

Essential Information About the PRS SE NF 53 Black Doghair Guitar

• Vintage spirit, modern performance: swamp ash solidbody and bolt-on maple neck for a crisp attack and very direct feel.


• Exclusive PRS Narrowfield DD "S" pickups: the expected bite and "twang," with quiet operation ideal under gain.


• Balance and comfort: 22 frets, 25.5" / 648 mm scale length and 10" / 254 mm radius for quick handling in both chords and lead playing.


• Hardware designed for resonance: steel plate-type bridge and brass saddles to enhance presence and note sustain.

An SE with a strong character in the lineage of classics

The PRS SE NF 53 adopts the timeless codes of the "old school" electric guitar (simple construction, straightforward sensations, sober aesthetics), while adding the PRS touch: coherent manufacturing, modern playability, and uniquely positioned Narrowfield DD "S" pickups. This approach makes it a very credible alternative for those seeking the attack and snap of traditional sounds, with more silence and definition.

For whom and in which styles?

This electric guitar is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive solidbody, effective both in rehearsal and on stage. Its range naturally fits blues, rock, pop, indie, and country, and remains very comfortable when increasing gain thanks to its quiet pickups. It will also work very well as a versatile "main" guitar, capable of switching from a snappy clean to a muscular crunch without muddiness.

The sound

Swamp ash provides a quick response, beautiful definition, and pleasant clarity, while the bolt-on maple neck reinforces attack and precision, with a very lively "snap" character. The PRS Narrowfield DD "S" pickups are designed to deliver a powerful, precise, and musical sound: well-defined lows, present upper mids, and a bite reminiscent of classic tones, while remaining quiet and usable at high saturation levels. The simple electronics (1 volume, 1 tone, 3-position selector) favor immediate and effective adjustment, and the steel bridge with brass saddles contributes to projection, sustain, and overall resonance.

Recommended compatible accessories

This PRS comes with a Gig Bag suitable for transport. To maintain the original feel, opt long-term for electric strings with a 10-46 gauge, identical to the factory setup.
