N Effin' Three!!!

[CantankerousCarl]

Been flirting with NF3s since they were discontinued, almost pulled the trigger on a new leftover one early this year.

Scored this used one (excuse the crap photo please), which is apparently a custom color "CC" one-off in Silverburst, and all I can say is HOLY POOP!

Why isn't everyone playing these things? Why didn't these sell? Single-soap-buckery sublime-ness! All I read about the interactivity of the volume knob on this is true! I doubt that 408s will ever be dethroned as my all-time favorites, but these Narrowfields are a revelation. Thickness + bite + articulation. If you haven't heard these, you really need to. I think I want another one, maybe a maple-boarded one just to switch things up...

Bangin'!

 

[László]

Awesome looking guitar. And if Sergio says it bangs, then by all that is holy, it bangs!

 

[helmi]

too many "tunnel vision" people to try the narrowfields. my guitar partner and I think their the best damn pickup we've ever played or heard. glad you got to find out what a few of us know, and what so many people will never know or experience.

It looks mean in that finish... ROCK! :top:

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

It's definitely on my short list! So under rated

 

[Boogie]

This is another quintessential PRS innovation that I love...like the winged tuners and the rotary 5-way. :dancing: Great acquisition.

 

[winemaker]

Needs moar photos from other angles!

Nice pickup (hehe), from another EnnEff3 owner. They are sweet. I really wish I had a powder blue or sea foam green one, though. Those are the sweetest.

 

[sleary]

Great score

 

[NomadMike]

Kind of S2-ish, maybe we'll see these again?

 

[garrett]

Bad freakin' azz.

:top:

awesome

 

[veinbuster]

Those didn't get nearly enough love.
I like mine enough that it is one of four guitars on the art wall.

great score brother
so can these pups overlap to P90 territory? i'd like to add a PRS in the future not to similar to the 513 tones
but can't decide which should i get to complement it, any suggestions are highly appreciated

Congrats and enjoy this beauty

I would definitely say that the Narrowfields overlap into P90 territory - I got out my SE Semi Hollow Soapbar (my only P90 guitar for reference) and I would say the bite / grit is indeed comparable, but the Narrowfields have more body and presence. They are a little lower output that my P90s (7.8Ω-8.1Ω vs. 9.6Ω-9.8Ω). It's not an entirely fair comparison, as I know from having an SE One in the past that the Semi-Hollow mellows out the P90s a bit, so that extra air may account for part of the thin-ness.

Hope that helps!

it helps a lot thanks brothers

[vchizzle]

Awesome looking guitar, love the silverburst! I loved the SASNF and still want one. Just can't justify the spending though.

 

[CVS]

Awesome looking ax! I have had my maple neck cherry red NF3 for about 6 months and cannot understand why they did not sell. NF's can cover lots of musical territory.

 

[Hopeful Sinner]

Carl, that is one sweet looking NF3!
Congrats man!

ps ~ DIBS!!!
Seriously, if you EVER part with her, give me a shot at this one...

LOVE the Silverburst!
