Get to know them!

A very versatile PRS that looks fast just sitting still! Play PRS's astounding NF3 solidbody and you'll love its combination of the classic and the modern. You'll be amazed by how many tones you can get out of its trio of 57/08 Narrowfield pickups. These humbuckers combine the meatiness of a dual-coil pickup with that elusive "air" you get from a quality single-coil - with zero hum. Use the 5-way selector to get to all those great tones, effortlessly. You'll also love the fast maple neck, which features PRS's Pattern Regular carve. Plus, the super-smooth PRS tremolo is perfectly suited to the NF3. This axe is a true performer!

Why does the NF3 feel so "just right" when you pick it up? For starters, this guitar has a Pattern Regular neck carve based on Paul Reed Smith's original, pre-factory neck design - the same one used on instruments he built in the late '80s, at PRS's Virginia Avenue location. The NF3's amazing vibe extends to its finish. Paul Reed Smith's impressive V12 finish combines the thin, resonance-friendly characteristics of a nitro finish with the modern convenience and non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. This hard, clear finish will keep your NF3 looking amazing for years to come.

If you've ever seen a PRS guitar up close, you know what we mean when we go on about how gorgeous these guitars are.

If geography prevents you from stopping in and checking them out, however, you can get the next best thing: detailed, multi-angle views at our online Guitar Gallery.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown.
