The PRS NF 53 in metallic purple pairs vintage-inspired design with modern build choices. It has a swamp ash body mated to a bolt-on maple neck with a 25.5" scale and 22 frets on a maple fingerboard, offering a bright, snappy response with clear upper mids. Electronics center on PRS Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups — taller bobbins with extra metal between the magnets — which yield a focused, punchy voice that sits well for single-coil clarity with added output. Controls are straightforward: master volume, master tone, and a 3-way blade pickup switch for neck/bridge/combo selections.
Hardware is practical and road-ready: a steel plate-style bridge, PRS vintage-style tuners, and nickel-plated appointments that contribute to sustain and tuning stability. This example is new, includes original paperwork and a PRS gig bag, and weighs 8 lb 2 oz. Features:
