The NF53 arrived today from the Upper Bout music store. My initial impression is wow! What a fantastic guitar. It’s very different from any of my other guitars. Next to the Emerald Virtuo, the NF53 is the lightest electric guitar I own at 7 lbs. 2 oz. I really like the playability and the...

Simply stunning! Congratulations! I love my DGT and 594 guitars too. They play and sound fantastic and inspire me to play!

I saw this video this morning and wanted to share the link: Both guitars sound amazing to me!

Congratulations! You picked a good one!

Yeah, I’m not surprised. I’m guessing the Paul‘s guitar will be different too. After I’ve had time to play the guitar awhile I’ll post a note here comparing / contrasting with the studio. I’ll do the same in the future when I get the Paul’s guitar. I’ve given up on believing in one guitar...

Yeah, I like that finish too. The black doghair finish looks good also. I need another guitar like I need a hole in my head. But I want one like this. I like the clarity and chimey tones I get with my Studio. The narrowfield pickups on it are amazing and I’d like to have other guitars with...

I ordered an NF53 the other day. I should be receiving it on Monday. I’m intrigued by the guitar since it has the narrowfield pickups in it. I love the narrowfields on my Studio. Here are some pics of the guitar that were sent to me from the store:

Yes, and the 408 style pickups on the 408 and Paul’s guitar look different but are considered narrow field pickups also.

Looks amazing Utkarsh! I like how you describe the journey that led to this dream guitar. I don’t believe for a minute that this will be the last guitar you buy though!

I recently put Fishman Fluence Classic humbuckers in an old Les Paul. I have the same pickups in an emerald Virtuo guitar. The Fluence pickups have coil tap capability as well as phase inverter capability. I think they have excellent clarity and tone. I may put a set in one of my PRS...

Congratulations! That’s gotta be one of the most stunning fire red burst guitars I’ve seen!

Looks amazing! Congratulations!

Congratulations! That’s a great looking guitar!

I must be. When I look at the picture on the website I don’t see the contour. I’m glad it’s still there. I have some traditional electric (Les Paul) and acoustic (Martin, Collings) guitars with flat backs. I do appreciate the improved ergonomics of modern designed guitars from PRS and...

I sent PRS customer service an email last night asking about this and they responded back this morning via email. The representative said the 2024 Paul’s guitars still have the contour belly cut in the back. I was happy to hear that. They said the contour belly cut on the back isn’t obvious...
