Paul Reed Smith SE NF 53 White Doghair

The Paul Reed Smith SE NF 53 combines vintage-inspired styling with modern performance, delivering the unmistakable character of a classic bolt-on electric guitar with the precision and versatility of PRS design. Inspired by a vintage 1953 instrument from Paul Reed Smith's personal collection, the SE NF 53 features a solid swamp ash body with a flat top, providing a lively, resonant foundation with crisp attack, articulate highs, and a strong, focused midrange. Its traditional silhouette and distinctive PRS appointments make it an appealing choice for players seeking familiar tones with a contemporary edge.

The bolt-on maple neck features the specially designed NF 53 profile, offering a substantial yet comfortable feel that balances vintage character with modern playability. A 25.5-inch scale length and maple fingerboard with a 10-inch radius, 22 frets, and signature PRS bird inlays provide excellent note definition and smooth access across the fretboard. The steel plate-style bridge with brass barrel saddles contributes to the guitar's dynamic response, sustain, and distinctive twang, while PRS designed tuners with wing buttons deliver dependable tuning performance.

The SE NF 53 is equipped with two PRS Narrowfield DD "S" pickups, featuring a specialized Deep Dish design with taller bobbins and additional metal components between the magnets. These innovative hum-canceling pickups combine the focused attack and articulation associated with traditional single-coils with the fullness, output, and noise-free performance of humbuckers. From bright, percussive cleans and classic country twang to muscular blues tones and aggressive overdrive, the SE NF 53 responds naturally to a wide range of playing styles. Straightforward volume and tone controls with a three-way blade selector make it easy to explore its versatile tonal palette.
