Introducing the NF 53, a T-style addition to the PRS lineup that combines classic tones with a modern, innovative twist. Inspired by one of Paul Reed Smith’s vintage guitars from 1953, the PRS NF 53 captures the timeless quality of that guitar and tailors it to the modern player. Whether you’re a seasoned session guitarist or a weekend warrior, this guitar offers an addicting playing experience that’ll make it hard to put down.
A Remarkable Fusion
The PRS NF 53 is an exemplary testament to PRS’s commitment to innovation, quality, and tone.

Crafted for the guitarist who appreciates the rich tonality of vintage instruments but requires the reliability and precision of contemporary designs, the NF 53 is a perfect balance of past and future.
Choice Tonewoods
The PRS NF 53 makes no compromises when it comes to tonewoods. Like its inspiration, a swamp ash body creates the sonic foundation, offering firm lows, clear highs, and slightly scooped mids - all contributing to a balanced, resonant core tone. The 22-fret, 25.5" scale length bolt-on maple neck, smooth maple fretboard and Pattern 53 neck profile offer a comfortable, intuitive playing experience.
Deep Dish Pickups
This model features a unique set of PRS Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups. Made with taller bobbins and extra metal pieces between the magnets, these pickups produce a stunningly articulate high-end without any hum. A 3-way blade pickup switch combined with strategically positioned volume and tone knobs make shifting between tones a breeze.
High-grade Hardware
The PRS NF 53 features durable and reliable hardware designed for precise tuning stability and excellent sustain. The steel plate-style bridge, PRS vintage-style tuners, and nickel hardware work in synergy, allowing for consistent and reliable performance that you’d expect from a pro-grade PRS guitar.
Stunning Finishes
Available in four stunning finishes - Black, Black Doghair, Blue Matteo, McCarty Tobacco Sunburst and White Doghair - the NF 53 has a look and sound that’s bound to turn heads. As with all PRS guitars, NF 53 is a world-class guitar that reflects the best of PRS’s design philosophy and innovation.
