Key Features
Product Ref: 386167
The SE NF3 stands out thanks to its trio of Narrowfield DD “S” pickups, offering a unique tonal character within the PRS lineup. Built with taller bobbins and a mixed magnet and steel pole piece design, they deliver a focused, punchy response without losing warmth or low-end body. This gives you a tone that sits between traditional single-coils and humbuckers, making it flexible enough for a wide range of genres while still feeling defined and controlled.
The bolt-on maple neck adds a touch of extra attack and immediacy to the guitar’s overall response. Combined with the poplar body, it creates a balanced tonal foundation that works well for both clean and driven sounds. Notes feel quick to respond, with a clear initial attack that helps cut through a mix. This construction style also contributes to a slightly more percussive feel, making it a strong choice for rhythm playing and dynamic lead work.
The Wide Thin neck profile is designed for speed and comfort, giving you a fast playing surface without feeling too flat or insubstantial. Paired with a 10" radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 frets, it allows for smooth movement across the neck, whether you're playing chords, riffs, or lead lines. The familiar PRS layout and bird inlays add a refined touch, while the overall feel remains accessible and easy to get along with.
The PRS patented tremolo system is designed to provide smooth operation while maintaining strong tuning stability. It allows for subtle vibrato or more expressive pitch movement without compromising reliability, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Combined with PRS-designed tuners, it keeps tuning adjustments precise and consistent. This setup gives you added expressive control without introducing the instability often associated with more aggressive tremolo systems.
