Paul Reed Smith SE Studio Standard Pearl White

The Ultimate Versatile Workhorse! The Paul Reed Smith SE NF3 is a distinct and powerful addition to the SE lineup, bringing a unique tonal experience that is perfect for musicians across nearly any genre—from rock and blues to gospel and jazz. The first SE model to feature the revolutionary Narrowfield pickups, this guitar is hard to put down.

1. Narrowfield DD “S” Pickups (The Heart of the Tone): The NF3's sonic power comes from a trio of Narrowfield DD ("Deep Dish") “S” pickups. These pickups feature taller bobbins and extra metal pieces to deliver a unique, focused, and powerful tone. They provide musical, articulate highs without ever sounding "ice-picky" or losing the necessary bass and fullness.
2. High-Performance Playability: Built with a 25" scale length and PRS’s slim, comfortable Wide Thin neck shape on a maple neck, this guitar is made for speed and effortless playing. The 22-fret rosewood fretboard has a versatile 10" radius, making it suitable for both chord work and lead shredding.
3. Ultimate Versatility with 5-Way Switching: With a single Volume and a single Tone control, the 5-way blade pickup switch gives you immediate access to a wide tonal palette. The controls are simple and intuitive, allowing you to quickly dial in sounds ranging from a throaty treble solo tone to a warm, full-bodied bass tone.
4. Reliable PRS Hardware: This bolt-on workhorse is anchored by the venerable PRS Patented Tremolo, which ensures tonal fidelity and exceptional tuning stability, allowing you to bend and flutter with ease. The PRS-Designed tuners keep your tuning precise and won't dampen the guitar's tone.

As Jimmy Herring of Widespread Panic said, the SE NF3 is a "wonderful guitar... hard to believe PRS can make such a great guitar at this price point." It is a beefed-up, slinky-feeling, bolt-on instrument that will handle any professional setting.
