As a non strat guy, I concur @Utkarsh ! I bought mine not even plugging into any type of gain. For the longest time, I mainly played it clean on everything besides the bridge pickup and love all those tones. Last weekend, I took the nf3 along with my bad cat hot cat to our band rehearsal spot to crank it up a bit. All of my usual pickup selections through the clean channel sounded terrific. Then I flipped down to the bridge pickup on the high gain channel and BAM! I was smacked with a clear, percussive but still warm enough tone that I hadn’t experienced with this guitar before. Sounded SO good. I didn’t even think to try to record any clips, just enjoyed the moment in discovering a great high gain tone. Different from all my normal tones but still felt right at home. Great guitars for sure!

That guitar really tied the room together
Congrats on getting the best model PRS has ever made! I gig regularly and bring bring my 2 NF3s (seafoam and tri-color sunburst) as my main guitar and backup. I still haven't decided which one is which.
When you get to spend more time with it, as others have mentioned, be sure to experiment a lot with the volume and tone controls. There are so many sounds in the NF3 that can be had just by switching pickups and turning knobs. Like RickP said, these are hard to find, otherwise I'd probably have a couple more. I'm happy for your good fortune.

People have been sort of ignoring my comments on this subject for years, and I'm sure that they are rolling their eyes behind the screen. But I've been saying FOR YEARS NOW, that the NF3 can do high gain very well. In fact, better than MANY other guitars including ones that are "made for high gain amps." Heck, the tighter and somewhat brighter nature of the narrow fields is an advantage with high gain in many situations! So, I'd just like to take this opportunity to say...
TOLD YOU SO!
Am really looking forward to putting it through the rig. I am also wondering how it will cut through in a 3 guitar band context
Haha Genoa was the tamest stop on the journey. Plenty of wine and pasta has been had
Thanks. Yeah Nidhi is extremely supportive.
I’ve some plans to get the channels production and frequency up a notch but sadly time is always the biggest constraint . A proper video on this is on the roster
Agree. Even this one had been priced optimistically initially but they had already put it on offer and did a better deal eventually , mostly thanks to Nidhi.
I wouldn’t say it was cheap but I am happy with what I paid for it (The euro is also cheaper vs the dollar than usual which helped)
I am really looking forward to comparing this vs my favourite 513.
Haha. May the spirit of rock n roll never die
Well my first jam with the band after going back home has Master of Puppets . So that will be baptism by fire . Also will be interesting to see if I can still down pick after a three week break from guitarPeople have been sort of ignoring my comments on this subject for years, and I'm sure that they are rolling their eyes behind the screen.

Yup I’m thinking this is the ticket for a set list that goes from Sultans of Swing to Master of Puppets

Supportive, deal maker and an infectious personality (admittedly via YouTube).
You’re a very lucky man.
