Best demo of this sweet guitar on TH-cam! Clean tones were perfectly dialed in and just what I wanted to hear! I loved when it surprised you made you tape and squeal harmonics too!! Damn, now I gotta have it!!!
@@evhchiro Thank you so much! I really enjoyed these guitars. A fantastic addition to the PRS lineup. Our shop has one of each fretboard in this color available locally or on Reverb in the US at reverb.com/shop/el-dorado-hills-music-llc
Beautiful sounds and appearance - I especially like the metallic orange. Thanks for the tasteful playing, especially the slow clean that really demonstrates the guitar's natural sound. It actually does gain surprisingly well too though. I love mini 'buckers and despite the fancy name, these pickups seem to be just hotter than normal mini 'buckers.
Excellent playing demo of a truly great sounding guitar. I like the relevant information popping up onto the screen which is a great help. I’ve been thinking about picking up a PRS for a few months now and this could be the one! Keep up the great work!
Been listening to a ton of reviews of this instrument but it this one that’s made me a believer. Definitely about to upset the wife with new purchase. Great vid brutha. Liked and subscribed. Keep them coming
Fantastic demo and review! Can you tell a difference between the maple and rosewood neck in feel or tone, or is it largely cosmetic? The maple sounded a little brighter to my ears... Thank you!
They were fairly even to me with a slight bright edge to the maple, but that might be a placebo effect. I wouldn’t swear one way or the other. I prefer ebony as my fretboard of choice, so the rosewood was a better feel to my hands. I like maple, too but I preferred the rosewood between these two.
Thank you! The rig was an Orange Rockerverb MkIII 50 combo, PRS Mary Cries compressor, and EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run. The clean channel was set very clean, so if there was a light breakup at any point that would be the Harby Pedals Centauri. The dirt channel was set to filthy and was the same pedal set as clean with the Centauri running.
Nice SE NF3 tones! Tempted to trade my SE Swamp Ash in for the NF3 maple version. These NF/DD(S) pups get great distortion tones and totally different but sweet clean tones.
Thank you! I really like the SAS. I would definitely keep it and add a NF3. They’re so different and the NF3 has what I think are unmatched cleans in the SE range. The woofy voice of the Swamp Ash Special is also unique. Both are just killer guitars particularly for how inexpensive they are.
@@thebrysmith3 if it’s any consolation, I felt the rosewood played like butter in my hands and the maple made me work for it. I did feel like there was a tiny tonal gain on the maple, but the rosewood was just a little better setup and was the one I liked best. A small neck adjustment would have probably evened the playing field, but I almost never turn a wrench until after the demo video unless it’s dreadful out of the box. I hope to show the authentic first impression right out of the box.
The NF3 sounds amazing but The SAS is killer . After 4 months of SAS ownership it has become one of my all time favorite guitars . As mentioned keep the SAS and get the NF3 when you can .
@@carlomichelotti As with any design that isn’t a single coil, there are going to be some compromises. I think a lot of it would come down to buzz tolerance and how much you’re willing to give up for less 60 cycle hum. While this does lean that sonic direction, there has to be some give and take. I didn’t mind the profile or the neck feel at all, but that really is a subjective point where some will love it, some won’t mind, and some won’t like it. I’m in the “don’t mind” category, taking into account the price point I have to make concessions with my expectations that match the concessions made at the register. I might recommend trying the other style fretboard that the one you tried to see if it gives you a different take. I definitely had a preference for the RW fretboard and felt the two guitars were different to my hands.
This is what you’ll get if you bought eg.Warmoth body and neck and fairly decent parts and put them together in a few hours. Except it would cost a few hundred.

Took delivery of one of these this morning. I picked the colour youre playing
Thank you for the great review! Got the orange w/ rosewood today.
Your initial thoughts? I just ordered one on Reverb and was shipped today.🤟🏼😎

I can’t help but love the way these play clean. It’s such a rich and rewarding sound.
That one sounds fantastic...I finally might be getting a PRS...thanks for the video!

Thank you so much!
picking up a se nf3 pearl white rosewood on monday. looking forward to it very much.
Great demo, I ordered the Pearl white w/rosewood be here Tuesday

@@Dookenstien Thank you! These NF3s were a blast to play.
Great demo appreciate that you did both maple and rosewood. Just subscribed
Lot of poeple that have demonstrated the cleans were sounding a bit dark. Yours was beautiful pristine cleans. Loved it
I agree with this comment. Also, I tend to adjust the sound with an equalizer pedal on each guitar I use.
Subscribed! Thanks for the detailed video and beautiful playing!
Great review!! Appreciate you showing cleans as well as the dirty sounds that these can do. Very well done, you have a new sub.
Thank you! I try to cover a few different tonal angles
Great sounding guitar that looks beautiful. You really seemed to enjoy playing it as well which tells me all I need to know. It's a winner! 🏆😁
That almost looks like pelham blue, beatifull tint.
Beautiful stuff
Excellent video ! Amazing tones ! I want one !
Good tone and great recording.
Nice video. You sold me a guitar.
That's a Beautiful Guitar 🎸🎶🎶 Thanks For Sharing 🎸🎶🎶🎶
Nicely done. Sold me. Heck yeah I subbed.

@@LessonsWithCameron great info - thanks, again!
Okay wow! Amazing playing! Please share what your setup was for clean and dirty!??

That sounded great. I would love to hear some Ty Tabor riffing on it

Dang it. I prefer the look of the rosewood neck, but the maple has so much more snap and sparkle.

@@thebrysmith3 got this neck on SE Swamp Ash and it's very fast and playable.

I'm tried one and the neck feel so unfinished and with a very unconfort profile, the PU sounds good, but far away from single coils

Ive been trying not to buy one of these all week but I am losing the battle.
The rosewood model at EDH Music was the one for me.
@@LessonsWithCameron that black with the maple is screaming my name 😂

Great drive tones. Wasn't that impressed with the clean tones
it sounds like a fat dirty Strat (Silver Sky)
