The PRS NF 53 is an absolutely beautiful and versatile instrument inspired by a 1953 guitar from Paul Reed Smith's own collection of vintage guitars. It delivers a captivating blend of classic PRS tones and modern playability, combined with a visually incredible body that sets it apart.

The foundation of the NF 53 is a solid swamp ash body. It features a burst coloring with much of the woodgrain visible underneath, showcasing the beauty of swamp ash's grain and unpredictable wood figuring, and is attached to a maple neck with a bolt-on neck plate.

The neck features a comfortable Pattern 53 profile, and is topped with a fingerboard also made of maple, with a ten-inch fingerboard radius. On the fingerboard, twenty-two frets are surrounded by PRS' classic Bird inlays.

A pair of PRS Narrowfield DD pickups are the beating heart of this NF 53. These "Deep Dish" pickups feature a unique design with taller bobbins and a mix of magnet and steel pole pieces, a design that delivers a focused and powerful tone with rich highs and a full bottom end.

Finished in a McCarty Tobacco Sunburst finish, this classic looking guitar features gold hardware that contrasts its color. In the hardware department, this stunner boasts a PRS plate-style bridge, and PRS Vintage non-locking tuners. 

The PRS NF 53 comes complete with a premium gigbag.
