"What Paul has to say about the Strat" is exactly right and why I'm interested. I love that PRS is always tinkering and trying something new. Looking forward to playing one of these.

i loved the silver sky, thankfully the wife bought me one for my birthday when they were released so im not allowed to sell that ever, but man, this nf3 is peaking my interest because its almost a perfect guitar for me, one vol, one tone, prs scale length and not the 25.5 of the silver sky, the ONLY way it could be perfect was if it was hardtail

About 15 years ago I was on the look for a "silent Strat" and it came down to the G&L Comanche and PRS NF3. I loved both of them even though they sounded quite different from each other and from a traditional STrat, but both checked all the boxes for me. It finally came down to weight and the PRS was over a pound lighter so that's the one that came home with me. No regrets to this day, the NF3 is super versatile and does the familiar clean rhythm thing so well, but with tasteful amounts of dirt it really is its own animal and sounds like nothing else. I'll never sell it.

And many thanks that you are the first on that show some chords on the bridge pickup with gainy stuff!!! I think now the guitar can also do rock/metal stuff on the bridge which the Silver Sky can not do!

What I like about the NF3 is that it's a true strat-inspired guitar and not a straight strat rip-off like the Silver Sky is. The Silver Sky just copy-pasted Fender looks and performance on PRS specs, but the NF3 took the strat idea and upgraded it in an original way so that it was familiar yet innovative and new.

The NF3 pickup is something that I want to see taken apart. Is it just stacked single coils? For decades we've known about making stacked single coils into humbuckers. Paul has said in interviews that they have found a way to tune pickups to make them sound any way they want. The James Bay signature Epiphone Inspired by 1966 Century guitar has a quiet P90. That quiet P90 is just a double stacked P90. It did lose some of the frequency response of a regular P90. Are the PRS pickups really so special? They do sound good. Are they more hype than innovation?

@frankiechan9651 10 күн бұрын
I am with you in that I prefer the idea of the NF3 over the Silver Sky. The Silver Sky just apes a Fender too closely (although it is a good entry point to the guitar world for John Mayer fans) whereas the NF3 moves things in a different direction. I've been moving away from Strats for a while, however, if PRS ever bites the bullet and does an SE version of the Starla .............

PRS did a couple other 3-single coli guitars around the time of the original NF3, the 305 and the DC3. The DC3 was the most Strat-like, although it had a slab body and fairly ugly pickguard that it shared with the NF3. Now that PRS can get away with making guitars much more Strat-like, the SE NF3 looks a lot better lol. To me, this goes head-to-head with something more like a Firebird VII on sound, with the three mini humbuckers.

...this seems like the first Fender-tending PRS (I guess the Core line version was probably the first, really) that seems as though it could be truly rotten sounding--which is a thing all electric guitars must be able to do. All functional Teles can. There's a tendency to P-90 nastiness in the cuts I've heard that make it seem more capable of skronk than even their P-90 guitars. Nice. Scrape the birdies off the neck and I'll shop for one maybe...

The Untold lesson here: if you buy cheap guitars, don't expect a good trade value if you want to trade up! There is a reason why I buy particular guitars that hold or even exceed the purchased value... and they play nicely when you have them. it's too bad YT influencers don't say this and just purchase to sell the latest crap you show off... but that seems to be the gimmick. NF3 is muddy... you want strat, stick with a US made Fender Strat, tho nothing wrong with a silver sky (and don't order unless you know how to set up... the trip the transit the different temperatures during travel and storage effects the wood shrinking and expanding, it always needs to be set up no matter how much you pay... I always buy in-store and after I tried it in my hands)
@mykhedelic6471 10 күн бұрын
Personally opposed to the Silver Sky, but this is a bit more interesting. Like Mike said, more Paul's comment on a Strat than just , "look, now we make one of these, and with a big signature endorsement." I also thought their take on the Tele was interesting.
