I love the NF 53 so I bought one! I’m curious if anyone else has some issues. Maybe a less than perfect review…besides the tele diehards that say, “it’s not a tele!” My issue is that the low E and high E are too close to the edge of the fretboard. My aggressive playing plus overall sloppiness leads to the string dropping off the board. Haven’t had this issue with any of my other core PRS’s. Nor any tele’s I’ve had. Just curious if anyone else has had a similar issue.
 
I am aggressive very much with the right and the left hand. No problems yanking the E strings off the edge of the fretboard.
 
I don't have that issue but I'll go look at mine

4/32" fretboard edge to string is what mine is

I found the issue going off the board as well. You need to adjust your playing with your fingers a little. It is a PRS issue. I don't have any issue on my Fender Pro Telecaster.
 
No problems with my NF53...

...though I've spent years developing a light touch.

Considering you mentioned having an aggressive style, perhaps step up a gauge in string size; a little extra string tension might be an inexpensive & easy solution ;)
 
Yes it is a bit of a problem for me as well but I adapted. The edges in the NF53 are a bit more rolled than the rest of my PRS.
