Featuring Three Narrowfield Humbuckers, the NF3 Electric Guitar from Paul Reed Smith has incredible tone with exceptional clarity. The modern Narrowfield pickups use the same wire as PRS’s coveted 57/08 pickups, with a narrower pole-to-pole design and deeper front-to-back. Paired with a pattern regular bolt-on neck and flat body design, the NF3 is a modern classic.

- Pattern Regular Neck Shape
- Three PRS 57/08 Narrowfield Humbuckers Pickups
- PRS Tremolo Bridge

V12 Finish
Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood’s inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars’ new V12 finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, V12 is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments, said Paul Reed Smith.
Pattern Regular Neck Shape
Modern tooling and programming is behind the Pattern Regular Neck Shape for precision shaping and consistent reproduction. A guitar should feel comfortable, like home, as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The Pattern Regular neck shape is similar to the traditional PRS regular neck found on guitars made in the late 80’s at PRS’s former Virginia Avenue location.

| A Magical Instrument |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| American made PRS. Top quality. Beautiful fit and finish. |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| I've only had it a couple of months and I am still learning how best to tap its capabilities. The pickup combinations and a usable volume and tone control make the possibilities endless. |
|
| General |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I splurged for my birthday and bought this guitar I had been researching and admiring for some time. Bought it on scratch and dent. A VERY SMALL nick on the headstock that I would have to point out to you was certainly woth the $290 savings. |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| This is the most amazing neck I have ever seen on a guitar and I have owned many. Plays like butter. When used with a strap, the back carving makes the guitar seem like a part of you. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| These pick-ups are hot and noiseless. I like playing with the guitar volume on 7 so I can add a bit when needed. You can get any kind of tone you can imagine from smooth jazz to "chicken pickin'" |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| The guitar is so beautiful sometimes I just sit there and look at it for a few minutes before picking it up. On-line pictures can't do the v12 finish justice. |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| I had a bit of set-up to do to get the guitar like I wanted it. I had to loosen the claw screws to center the tremolo float, tweak the intonation (on the B string only), minor truss rod and bridge height adjustment. All of this took less than an hour. The guitar was built in June of 2011 and I didn't buy it until December 2012 so that might explain some of it. Now that it is set up, it is smooth and rock solid. Stays in tune even with a lot of tremolo use and plays like butter. I'll pick it up and start playing and the next thing you know 3 hours have gone by. This guitar inspires you to try new things. |
