PRS Guitars builds its instruments in Stevensville, Maryland, and the NF 53 is its USA-made bolt-on solid body. This one has a swamp ash body with a flat top and a bolt-on maple neck in PRS's Pattern 53 shape, topped with a maple fretboard carrying 22 frets on a 25.5 inch scale. Electronics are a pair of PRS Narrowfield DD pickups with a volume control, a tone control and a 3-way blade switch. Hardware includes a bone nut and Phase III non-locking tuners. It suits players who want a bolt-on guitar with PRS build quality and a comfortable neck.
This one is about as close to new as a used guitar gets. It was barely played before it came to us, and it plays like new. The only cosmetic issue is a few scratches on the pickguard. Nothing else to report, which is a short list, and we're happy about that. It weighs 6 lb 11 oz and comes with a PRS lightweight hardshell case, which is a nice step up from the gig bag PRS ships these with.
