PRS is a new generation of standard guitar brands, rivaling Fender and Gibson.
The beautiful guitars they produce are known for being used by top musicians around the world, including Carlos Santana, John Mayer, Orianthi Panagaris, DAITA, and PABLO.
This model is the NF 53, released in 2023.
It was inspired by a 1953 vintage guitar that is a favorite of company president Paul Reed Smith.
Its look is based on the traditional single-cutaway guitar, the origin of solid-body guitars, but it is packed with unique ideas throughout.
The body is crafted from Swamp Ash with a undulating grain.
The body is contoured, giving it a classic design yet a modern shape that fits the body perfectly.
Both the neck and fingerboard are made of maple.
The neck shape is Pattern 53.
Based on the neck shape of a vintage 1953 guitar, this guitar offers a grippy feel while featuring a unique shape for modern playability.
The neck grip features a satin finish, rare for PRS.
It has a smooth, slippery feel, and its added benefit is the stress-free movement when changing positions.
This model also features a bolt-on joint, rare for PRS.
Compared to models with set neck joints, it features a distinctly clearer attack.
The pickups are two Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups.
Although this is a humbucking pickup, the sound is primarily single-coil.
A tall bobbin increases the number of coil turns, increasing output, while the dual coil configuration provides hum cancellation.
It has the brightness of a single coil and the low noise of a humbucking pickup.
It produces a well-balanced, clear, and powerful sound that complements any tone, from clean to crunch to high gain.
Despite its single-coil sound, its versatility and ability to handle a variety of genres is a major attraction.
The bridge is a steel plate-style bridge and features dual brass saddles.
The dual saddles allow wound and plain strings to ride on the same saddle, resulting in improved intonation.
The tuning machines are vintage-style, and the tuning pegs feature the latest wing buttons.
This reduces the head weight and improves sustain.
This innovative model combines classic design and sound with modern elements.
We encourage you to give it a try.
