The PRS NF53 electric guitar provides serious musicians with pro-level performance and playability. Its swamp ash body and bolt-on maple neck deliver resonant tone with articulate attack, while narrowfield pickups and a PRS plate bridge provide a wide range of sounds. Whether you play rock, blues or jazz, the NF53 is designed to be an inspiring instrument that helps you shape your own unique voice.

Swamp Ash Body Resonates with Warmth and Clarity

The NF53's solid swamp ash body produces a resonant, balanced tone with punchy lows, crisp highs and singing sustain. Swamp ash is a lightweight, open-pored wood that allows the guitar's acoustic properties to shine through, even when playing through high-gain amplifiers. Its natural warmth and woody character will add richness to clean and slightly overdriven tones.

Maple Neck Delivers Familiar Feel and Attack

The maple neck and fingerboard provide a familiar playing feel for guitarists accustomed to bolt-on instruments. Maple has a dense, rigid structure that transmits string vibration efficiently for an articulate attack with punchy note definition. Its smooth, satiny finish glides under your fingers as you play. The narrow nut width and medium jumbo frets make complex chords and solos easy to grasp.

Narrowfield Pickups Produce Balanced Tones

The NF53 comes equipped with a pair of PRS Narrowfield DD pickups that produce balanced tones across the tonal spectrum. The bridge pickup delivers tight lows, present mids and singing highs for articulate lead playing and crunchy rhythm tones. The neck pickup produces warm, rich tones for jazz, blues and funk. Together they provide a wide range of usable sounds that you can shape to your needs with the NF53's volume and tone controls.

PRS Plate Bridge Provides Solid Anchoring

The PRS plate-style bridge provides a solid anchoring point for the strings that helps maximize resonance and sustain. Its brass saddles and heavy-duty steel base plate tightly couple the strings to the guitar body. The bridge's streamlined design also gives the NF53 a sleek, uncluttered look. For serious tone and rock-solid intonation, the PRS plate bridge is a perfect match for the NF53.
