The NF 53 is Paul Reed Smith’s take on the classic T-type guitar, and arguably the Maryland company’s most daring new model since the release of the Silver Sky in 2018! The PRS NF 53 draws inspiration from one of Paul’s favourite vintage guitars from 1953, combining a Swamp Ash body with a 22-fret, 25.5″-scale bolt-on Maple neck. However, a special set of PRS Narrowfield DD (“Deep Dish”) pickups inject some modern warmth into the instrument, which are made with taller bobbins to fit more winds and extra metal pieces in between the magnets to yield a more focused, powerful tone.
Additional appointments on the PRS NF 53 include master volume and tone controls, a 3-way blade pickup switch, PRS vintage-style tuners, and a steel plate-style bridge with barrel saddles for that old-school sound and aesthetic.
