Refreshed for 2026, the PRS SE NF 53 mixes timeless tone with vintage spirit, bringing out the best tonal qualities of traditional T-style single-cutaway guitars while bringing a modern twist to the equation. 

Constructed from a single-cutaway swamp ash body, the NF 53 is lightweight, resonant, and balanced. Swamp ash is highly sought after for its strong low-end, bright highs, and slightly scooped midrange. The body is finished in a White Doghair finish that is accented against the multi-ply binding, exposed silver magnets on the pickups, and the brass saddles on the bridge.

Bolted to the body by 4-bolts the maple neck features a 25.5-inch scale length, 10-inch radius, and NF 53 neck profile which feels similar to a rounded C shape. The neck is crowned with 22, PRS SE Standard frets and the signature PRS Birds inlay for fret markers. High quality hardware like the PRS Plate-Style bridge and PRS Designed Tuners with Wing Buttons ensure solid intonation and tuning performance.

For its voice, 2 PRS Narrowfield DD "S" noiseless humbuckers are employed to deliver vintage-inspired tones without the unwanted hum of a traditional single-coil. Built using taller bobbins, these pickups fit more winds and extra metal pieces in between magnets for a more focused, powerful tone - they also handle gain extremely well while still delivering the classic twang of a T-style guitar. Tone can further be adjusted using the 3-way switch, volume, and tone controls.

Complete with a gig bag, the 2026 model year SE NF 53 brings a refined instrument to the SE lineup that is truly, uniquely PRS.
