The swamp ash body is finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in the striking Blue Matteo finish, a Wood Library-exclusive color you won't find on standard production PRS guitars, weighing in at 7.76 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bolt-on maple neck carries PRS's dedicated Pattern 53 profile (7\/8\" at the half fret, 31\/32\" at the 12 1\/2 fret) in a satin nitrocellulose finish for fast, broken-in playability, topped with a rosewood fretboard, bird inlays, and a 10\" radius across 22 frets and the full 25.5\" scale length. A 1 41\/64\" bone nut leads to PRS Phase III non-locking tuners with unplated brass shafts and wing buttons, while a steel plate-style bridge delivers precise tuning stability and powerful sustain, rounded out by a clean 1-ply black pickguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBoth Narrowfield DD pickups — built with taller bobbins and extra metal between the magnets for a genuinely focused, powerful voice — are wired to a single volume and tone control with a 3-way blade selector for straightforward tone shaping. This is the kind of guitar built to reward serious players: whether you're a collector seeking a genuine Wood Library-tier PRS with a real story behind its design, a tone-chaser after that elusive vintage-high-end-without-the-hum voice Smith designed the Narrowfield pickups to deliver, or a working player who wants USA Private Stock-level craftsmanship in a gigging instrument, this NF 53 delivers something you won't find in the standard lineup. This PRS Wood Library NF 53 Blue Matteo (Serial #0418236) includes a PRS premium gigbag.
