PRS SE NF 53 - Black Doghair

The PRS SE NF 53 in Black Doghair is PRS’s take on a timeless single-cut bolt-on — and it’s anything but ordinary. Inspired by classic ‘53-style tones and reimagined with PRS precision, this workhorse blends vintage bite with modern clarity, thanks to a pair of proprietary NF (Narrowfield) pickups.

The NF 53’s Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups are PRS’s answer to noiseless single coils with serious punch. They're clear, focused, and deliver that vintage-inspired twang and snap — without the hum. Whether you’re chasing country grit, funk stabs, rootsy blues, or articulate lead tones, the SE NF 53 gives you tons of character and dynamic response.

Finished in Black Doghair, it’s got the look of a well-worn tool, with the feel of a finely tuned machine.

The SE NF 53 isn’t trying to copy a vintage classic—it’s improving on one. With swamp ash tonewood, a snappy bolt-on maple neck, and humbucker-free clarity, this is one of the most expressive and responsive guitars in the PRS SE lineup.

At Interstellar Guitars, we love instruments that inspire players to push boundaries. The SE NF 53 delivers serious tone versatility, honest vintage vibe, and modern reliability—all in one very cool Black Doghair package.
