Cutting-edge Versatility Meets Workhorse Reliability
The S-type guitar has remained synonymous with flexible, powerful performances, since its inception, and the PRS SE NF 3 carries the torch of rock 'n' roll workhorse tradition, blending a triumvirate of premium tonewoods with malleable playability and roaring character. A trio of PRS-designed Narrowfield DD "S" pickups give you a smorgasbord of tonal possibilities, impressing Guitarists with flexible, yet focused sonic character. Outfitted with a lightning-fast neck, sculpted contours, and a PRS Patented Tremolo, the PRS SE NF 3 was engineered for maximum expression and diverse performances, from subtle and smoldering to searing and scorching.
Formidable foundations
Luthiers at PRS spare no effort in dialing in the ideal tonewood concoction, and the PRS SE NF 3 is no exception. Its poplar body anchors the axe's sonic profile in direct, articulate tones. Its maple neck imbues your sounds with a warm, balanced voice, adding a brightness to every register without sacrificing clarity. Up top, the rosewood fretboard caps your sound with a shimmering veneer, bolstering presence and punch, while taming cloying highs without compromising sonic prominence. Together, this tonewood trio conjures a landscape of electrifying possibilities to excavate innumerable, vibrant tones for your next studio or stage performance.
Narrowfield pickups, expansive sonic potential
Drawing inspiration from the NF 53 before it, the PRS SE NF 3 deploys the "S" variant of their Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups. With neck-, middle-, and bridge-mounted options, this tonal triumvirate captures the peak characteristics of a humbucker, a P-90, a traditional single-coil, and a mini humbucker, merging them into a distinctively voiced and carefully tuned force of punchy laser-focused tones. Master Tone and Volume controls are complemented by a 5-way blade switch, giving you the keys to robust onboard sound-shaping.
Sculpted for exquisite expression
Meticulous contouring endows the PRS SE NF 3 with a menagerie of style and comfort, augmented by pairing a Wide Thin-profile neck with a 10-inch fingerboard radius, accommodating multitudes of play styles with ease. Its heel and treble-side cutaway were sculpted with exacting precision, providing unfettered access to all 22 frets and supplying players with the carefully calculated space needed to navigate the 25-inch scale. Plus, when your sound is ready to truly take flight, the PRS Patented Tremolo is fueled for takeoff.
