PRS SE NF53 Purple Doghair w/Bag
Product Description
The PRS SE NF 53 Electric Guitar combines vintage-inspired styling with modern PRS craftsmanship, delivering exceptional clarity, dynamic response and tonal versatility. Featuring a swamp ash body, bolt-on maple neck and fingerboard, and a pair of PRS Narrowfield DD "S" pickups, the SE NF 53 offers the unmistakable snap and twang of a classic single-cut electric guitar with the added power and noise-free performance of humbucking pickups.
The solid swamp ash body provides a lively, resonant foundation with articulate lows, clear highs and a responsive playing feel. Its flat-top construction and traditional styling capture the character of classic electric guitar designs, while PRS refinements ensure dependable performance across a wide range of musical styles.
The bolt-on maple neck features the distinctive PRS NF 53 profile, designed for a comfortable, substantial playing feel. A 25.5-inch scale length provides familiar string tension and excellent note definition, while the maple fingerboard features a 10-inch radius, 22 frets and PRS's signature bird inlays. This combination offers comfortable chord work, expressive bending and precise articulation for both rhythm and lead playing.
At the heart of the SE NF 53 are two PRS Narrowfield DD "S" pickups. These innovative Deep Dish pickups feature taller bobbins and additional metal components between the magnets, producing a focused, powerful sound with excellent clarity and musical detail. Their humbucking design delivers the articulate bass, distinctive twang and aggressive bite associated with vintage single-coil guitars while eliminating unwanted pickup hum.
The straightforward electronics include a master volume, master tone and three-way blade pickup selector. From bright, cutting bridge tones and warm neck sounds to balanced combinations of both pickups, the SE NF 53 provides a versatile tonal palette that responds beautifully to clean amplifiers, overdrive and higher-gain settings.
A PRS steel plate-style bridge with brass barrel saddles contributes to the guitar's lively response, resonance and sustain. PRS-designed tuning machines with Wing Buttons provide precise tuning adjustment while maintaining a lightweight, traditional appearance.
Combining classic electric guitar character with modern PRS design, the PRS SE NF 53 is an excellent choice for guitarists seeking vintage-inspired twang, hum-free performance and exceptional versatility. Suitable for country, blues, rock and contemporary styles, it offers a distinctive playing experience with the reliability and attention to detail associated with PRS guitars. A PRS gig bag is included.
