PRS Narrowfield DD pickups

These innovative “Deep Dish” pickups inject some modern warmth into this retro-inspired instrument. They’re made with taller bobbins to fit more winds and extra metal pieces in between the magnets — yielding a more powerful, focused tone.

Vintage vibe meets modern precision

The NF 53 is loaded with thoughtful appointments: master volume and tone controls, a 3-way blade switch, reliable PRS Phase III tuners, a bone nut, plus a steel plate-style bridge with brass saddles for that old-school sound and aesthetic with rock-solid performance.

Paul Reed Smith on the NF 53

“I am so pleased with the feedback from the artists who have played this guitar — everyone is telling us that we have something special here,” said Paul Reed Smith. “If you are a fan of this style and tone, the NF 53 will take you where you want to go. To me, to have this kind of beautiful high-end without the hum is game-changing.” — Paul Reed Smith

Natural

Natural guitars showcase the beauty of the wood itself, with finishes that highlight the grain, colour, and character of each piece. Favoured by players who appreciate simplicity and authenticity, natural finishes let the instrument’s craftsmanship and tonewoods speak for themselves. Whether it’s the warm glow of mahogany or the bright shimmer of maple, a natural guitar has a timeless, organic look that never goes out of style. These instruments often feel more connected to their acoustic roots, offering both visual elegance and a sense of purity that appeals to musicians across all genres.
