The PRS SE NF3 is a distinct guitar in the PRS lineup. The heart of this guitar is a trio of PRS Narrowfield pickups, a first for the SE Series. Supporting these pickups is a poplar body, 22-fret bolt-on maple neck, and the choice of either a rosewood or maple fretboard. The SE NF3 is a versatile workhorse guitar that is fun to play and hard to put down. The Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) “S” pickups are made with taller bobbins to fit more winds and extra metal pieces in between the magnets for a more focused, powerful tone.
Anchored with PRS’s patented tremolo, this guitar can bend and flutter
with ease. Perfect for rock, blues, gospel, country, or jazz the PRS SE NF3 can punch, cry, lay down, or sing - as you like it.

At last !! A clear and precise demo of a guitar instead of a players distored whangery trying to blast my eardrums into oblivion. I really do like the guitar and the tone variations that Brian played and explained! I will definitely check this PRS SE NF3 guitar out!

Yeah but a nice mix of the two is nice. Yk cause some of us turn our distortion on and would like to know how it sounds with *any* gain

I'm pretty much a Fender-Gretsch guy. But I do own 3 PRS guitars. You can't fault them. Not even the SE series. Mr. Smith is a serious guitar builder. He always looks for ways to improve his instruments and the ones I own sound fabulous. They are among my treasured pieces in my collection.

First heard the narrow-fields in the Core Studio line. As a primarily single-coil fan glad to see the narrow-field pickups become available at a more accessible price point in the SE line. Would love to see a version with white, cream, or mint bobbins to evoke more of the classic Silver Sky vibe.

I really dig the carving on the upper body cutaway. It´s very different to that of Silver Sky which is more Strat Standard. It seems to be very similar to that of my 1991 EG4. Also the pickguard looks familiar to me.

I just took a test drive of one of these today. I played through a couple of amps. The guitar sounds wonderful clean, and at edge of break up. But I could not get a satisfactory tone with higher gain/distortion. I much prefer the Silver Sky pick ups - they are more balanced.

Make it with wade fat, pattern or pattern vintage neck profile and my hard earned moneyz will be yours. Love to see SE line up evolving all the time. I like these pick ups a lot. It’s the first time when SE pickup don’t feel like a compromise.

Hopefully this guitar quality is good. I bought a PRS Semihollow SE it was the worst guitar i ever bought and cost almost $1000. The frets were sticking out so badly it was unplayable. Please note: I returned that PRS and bought another PRS only because it looks good. But overseas PRS needs better quantity control.

Love it. Now HSH, full size humbucker, true single coil, full size humbucker.. and match my headstock to the body. Then you'd have what Charvel won't do (they make candy coated guitar without matching the headstock, which is lame) Looks like a great Cali style super shredder (could be maryland style super shredder from here on out. But I'm not down with almost single-coil almost hum-bucker sounds. (p90, sure, but not really).

I need to be straight-up and honest. The Narrow Field pickups are a great idea. However, the guitar itself looks like the non-signature version of a Silver Sky, exactly as you did with the Miles Kennedy Signature and the NF 53.
