PRS Guitars brings back the NF3 - as an SE!

The Evolution of the PRS Narrowfield Pickup: A Game-Changer in Guitar Design

 Back in 2008, Paul Reed Smith and the innovative product engineers at PRS embarked on an experimental journey that led to the creation of the PRS 'Narrowfield' pickup. Their mission was clear: blend the distinctive tone of a top-tier single coil with the full-bodied, hum-free characteristics of a humbucking pickup.

The groundbreaking design maintained the essential components of a traditional humbucker but in a more compact form. This narrower construction captures the vibrations from a more concentrated section of the guitar strings, resulting in a focused, powerful tone that beautifully emulates the richness and clarity of a great single coil.

Discover the Versatility of the PRS SE NF3: A Guitar Like No Other

The PRS SE NF3 is a standout in the PRS lineup, bringing a blend of unique features and exceptional playability. This model is the first in the SE Series to boast a trio of PRS Narrowfield pickups, setting it apart from the crowd.

At its core, the SE NF3 is built with a poplar body, providing a balanced tonal foundation. The 22-fret bolt-on maple neck ensures durability and comfort, while players have the option to choose between a rosewood or maple fretboard to suit their preference. Additionally, the guitar is available in Gun Metal Gray, Ice Blue Metallic, Metallic Orange or Pearl White.

Narrowfield DD “S” Pickups: Deep Dish Design

The heart of the SE NF3 lies in its Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) "S" pickups. These pickups feature taller bobbins, allowing for more windings, and include extra metal pieces between the magnets. This unique design results in a focused, powerful tone that can cut through any mix. The mixed magnet/steel pole piece layout delivers rich, musical highs without sacrificing bass, ensuring a full-bodied sound that remains robust and vibrant.

Patented PRS Tremolo: Smooth and Stable

Equipped with PRS's patented tremolo system, the SE NF3 offers smooth bending and fluttering capabilities. This tremolo design is known for its tonal fidelity, player comfort, and exceptional tuning stability, allowing for expressive playing without the worry of going out of tune.

The PRS-Designed tuners are crafted to meet the brand's high standards. These lightweight tuners provide precise tuning and ensure that your tone remains undampened, contributing to the overall clarity and sustain of the guitar.
