Overview
The PRS SE NF3 is a distinct guitar in the PRS lineup. At the heart of this guitar are a trio of PRS Narrowfield pickups, a first for the SE Series. Supporting these pickups is a Poplar body and a 22-fret bolt-on maple neck, available here with a rosewood fretboard.
PRS's Alex Chadwick gives us a closer look at the SE NF3 guitars with the Gear Wire crew:
The SE NF3 is a versatile workhorse guitar that is fun to play and hard to put down. The Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) "S" pickups are made with taller bobbins to fit more winds and extra metal pieces in between the magnets for a more focused, powerful tone. Anchored with PRS's patented tremolo, this guitar can bend and flutter with ease.
Perfect for rock, blues, gospel, country, or jazz, the PRS SE NF3 can punch, cry, lay down, or sing - as you like it.
- Fun to play and hard to put down

- Rosewood fretboard with 10" radius
- Wide-Thin neck profile with scarfed construction
- 3 Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) "S" pickups

Ok, first, I think this guitar LOOKS cool. I went with the gun metal gray version with the rosewood fretboard. Fit and finish is top.notch. Fretwork is perfect. The finish on the maple neck is weird. It al.ost feels raw but it's less smooth than raw maple? I may throw a coat of tung oil on the back,because that feels better than what we finish they used on it.Second, very nice weight for a strat style guitar. I would guess on the low end of 7 pounds. Third, EXTREMELY resonant with very good sustain. An open E chord easily rang out for over 20 seconds. I've got set necks that don't do that. 4th, took it out of the box and gig bag, tuned it up, plugged it in, and just played. Set up was perfect for ME. Maybe a little.high for you, slight relief int he neck, which I prefer. Stayed in tune the entire hour I played. Picked it back up later tonight and had to tweak the G string a bit, but that's it.5th. Saves the best for last. These pickups are mind blowingly good.I think they're the sound people are after when they run good strat pickups through a Klon or Tubescreamer, but sans pedal. They're tuned perfect to be thicker, more mid rangy, and hotter than a strat style pickup. They really sing, but they can also twang. Open chords have almost an SG like bite to them, but with twang. I can't do it justice with words.I absolutely love this guitar. I'm a huge fan of weird pickups, P90s, firebirds, mini pafs, staples, Franz soap bars, even Wide Range HBs. These double Ds bounce nicely.…

They swing to and fro. And they get bright without cutting your head off. I felt at home with this guitar from the moment I picked it up and enjoyed every single switch position and pickup combo on it, which is rare for me. I usually do. Not care for positions. 2 and 4, aka the "in between" sound. These a quacky, but maintain a nice fat, round bottom.
