The PRS SE NF 53 2026 Black Doghair at a glance
With the PRS SE NF 53, Paul Reed Smith presents a bolt-on electric guitar with a strong character whose sound is clearly aimed at classic rock and vintage sounds. The construction combines a resonant swamp ash body in singlecut design with a bolt-on maple neck, resulting in a direct Attack and a powerful fundamental tone. The specially developed NF 53 neck profile offers a pleasant balance between modern playing characteristics and traditional feel, with two PRS Narrowfield DD "S" pickups providing the distinctive sound. The abbreviation DD ("Deep Dish") describes the deeper coil bodies, which offer more space for additional windings. The result is a particularly powerful, focused tone with clear definition. On the hardware side, a robust PRS plate-style bridge ensures precise intonation and solid sustain, while PRS Designed tuners provide reliable tuning stability.
