The PRS NF 53 is Paul Reed Smith’s modern interpretation of the iconic T-style guitar — and arguably the Maryland brand’s most daring design since the Silver Sky debuted in 2018! Inspired by one of Paul’s favourite vintage instruments from 1953, this model blends a resonant Swamp Ash body with a 22-fret, 25.5″ Maple neck and a unique set of PRS Narrowfield DD (“Deep Dish”) pickups. Speaking of…
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
