The star of the show is the pair of PRS Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups, built with taller bobbins for extra winds and additional metal between the magnets, delivering the snap, sparkle, and biting high end of a great early-'50s single-coil — without the hum. Run through the simple volume, tone, and 3-way blade selector layout, the NF 53 nails vintage twang, gritty roots-rock crunch, and everything between, and the eye-catching Orange Tabby finish in high-gloss nitrocellulose gives it a look as distinctive as its voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bolt-on maple neck features PRS's vintage-inspired Pattern 53 carve (7\/8\" at the 1\/2 fret, 31\/32\" at the 12 1\/2 fret) with a fast satin nitro finish, a maple fretboard with signature PRS bird inlays, 10\" radius, 22 frets, 25.5\" scale length, and a comfortable 1 41\/64\" bone nut. At just 7.08 lbs., this swamp ash body resonates freely and hangs comfortably through long sets, while the steel plate-style bridge and PRS Phase III tuners with unplated brass shafts work together for rock-solid tuning stability, ringing sustain, and that unmistakable bolt-on snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIf you've been chasing vintage T-style tone but can't live with single-coil hum, the NF 53 is the answer — a workhorse that's equally at home in country, blues, indie, and rock settings. This PRS NF 53 Orange Tabby (Serial #0419404) includes a PRS premium gig bag and a 1-ply black pickguard completing the classic look.
