Single-Coil Tone. Zero Hum. Unmistakably PRS.

The PRS SE NF53 in White Pearl takes everything players love about classic single-coil guitars — the snap, the twang, the articulate low end — and strips out the one thing nobody loves: the hum. Built on a swamp ash body with a 25.5" bolt-on maple neck and maple fretboard, the NF53 has the DNA of a timeless electric guitar. What makes it uniquely PRS is what's under the pickguard.

The Narrowfield Difference

PRS Narrowfield DD "S" pickups are purpose-built to solve the single-coil noise problem without sacrificing tone. The "Deep Dish" design uses taller bobbins for more winds and additional metal pieces between the magnets — the result is a focused, powerful, noiseless humbucker that still delivers the snarl, twang, and articulate low end you'd expect from this body style. They're also exceptionally receptive to gain, making the NF53 far more versatile than its vintage-inspired looks suggest.

Simple Controls, Maximum Expression

A single volume, single tone, and 3-way blade switch keep the NF53 intuitive and fast. No menus, no complexity — just plug in and play. The steel plate-style bridge with brass barrel saddles adds resonance and sustain, keeping the tone lively and responsive from clean to driven.

Classic Looks, Modern Build

The White Pearl finish over swamp ash gives the NF53 a clean, timeless aesthetic that looks as good under stage lights as it does in a studio. PRS Bird inlays on the maple fretboard and the signature SE headstock logo tie it back to the PRS family, while the bolt-on construction keeps the tone bright and the setup straightforward.
