With the PRS NF 53 Jasper Smokeburst, Paul Reed Smith presents a powerful guitar model whose design combines traditional and modern features. For this guitar model from the Bolt-On series, Paul took one of his vintage guitars from 1953 as a template and enhanced the design with a number of contemporary features. The NF53’s basic construction comprises a solid swamp ash body and a bolt-on maple neck, fitted with 22 medium-sized frets. Two in-house PRS Narrowfield DD humbucker pickups, meanwhile, are responsible for the versatile tone. The ‘Deep Dish’ version of these slim double-coil pickups features taller bobbins and a higher number of windings, enabling both pickups to deliver additional output. The hardware includes a PRS plate-style bridge designed specifically for this model, featuring two barrel saddles, and six classic PRS Phase III non-locking tuners.
