Bryan can make your blood pressure actually go down . His playing is very much relaxing and could be used to calm down a herd of buffalo ! Bryan, you do play much like the amazing Phil Keaggy ... PRS should be proud. Keep up the great work you do !
I'm pretty much a Fender-Gretsch guy. But I do own 3 PRS guitars. You can't fault them. Not even the SE series. Mr. Smith is a serious guitar builder. He always looks for ways to improve his instruments and the ones I own sound fabulous. They are among my treasured pieces in my collection.
At last !! A clear and precise demo of a guitar instead of a players distored whangery trying to blast my eardrums into oblivion. I really do like the guitar and the tone variations that Brian played and explained! I will definitely check this PRS SE NF3 guitar out!
This is a killer sound and looking prs SE model.i Definitely will definitely get one. I like the look the design. Thank you PRS! For giving us choices of affordability.
Exceptional Demo Brian. Did a great job showcasing all the sounds singularly and in a music mix. Outstanding. The guitar sounds great and looks really good too.
I play a LOT of The Vines stuff live and it's honestly perfect for that. That orange with rosewood fingerboard or maybe even maple, it screams Vines lol
Definitely a great addition to the SE lineup. Very cool and unique guitar. I agree that it sounds more single coil-ish. I think it's great and could see myself picking one up, especially that orange color they have with the maple fretboard. 🔥
The used market is fetching 2500$ and up for an original NF3 from 2011 era. For PRS to release the SE NF3 at such a low price point it seem like they’re trying to stir up sales
Maybe the best sounding pups I've ever heard.That guitar sounds great. And coming out of Indonesia, I'm shocked. I wish it had locking tuners. I'm truly impressed.
Saw these sold in Japan for a while. Was hoping for the "Tele" version of the NF53. Still, this Strat style build is compelling. Thanks for the demo. 👍🎶
First heard the narrow-fields in the Core Studio line. As a primarily single-coil fan glad to see the narrow-field pickups become available at a more accessible price point in the SE line. Would love to see a version with white, cream, or mint bobbins to evoke more of the classic Silver Sky vibe.
I just got a se McCarty 594 just last year and I love it. But this is a guitar I didn't think they would do an SE version of . I want one. I thought my next would be a DGT .
I really dig the carving on the upper body cutaway. It´s very different to that of Silver Sky which is more Strat Standard. It seems to be very similar to that of my 1991 EG4. Also the pickguard looks familiar to me.
Every PRS i buy is US made. And i always put Seymour Duncan custom shop sets in them. I think its crazy not to do a Colab with Paul and Seymour in the near future.
Bryan-Great chops!! Where can I find a slide like you’re using? I’ve been looking for one like that forever, and not been able to find one. 😟 In advance, thanks for the assistance!
They have something for everyone EXCEPT tele players. And don't even call that thing they recently made a tele. It's not even close. I still like PRS guitars, but when it comes to telecasters, I'll just stick with my tele.
I've never heard of the NF3. I guess it is an model of the past since it's making it's debut as an SE model now. Before today, I've only heard of the NF53
Make it with wade fat, pattern or pattern vintage neck profile and my hard earned moneyz will be yours. Love to see SE line up evolving all the time. I like these pick ups a lot. It’s the first time when SE pickup don’t feel like a compromise.
I just took a test drive of one of these today. I played through a couple of amps. The guitar sounds wonderful clean, and at edge of break up. But I could not get a satisfactory tone with higher gain/distortion. I much prefer the Silver Sky pick ups - they are more balanced.
Hopefully this guitar quality is good. I bought a PRS Semihollow SE it was the worst guitar i ever bought and cost almost $1000. The frets were sticking out so badly it was unplayable. Please note: I returned that PRS and bought another PRS only because it looks good. But overseas PRS needs better quantity control.
Just bought a SS SE couldn’t get along with it. It had that tight nut spacing like Sterling guitars, also has their neck feel, like a bare wood, I sold it to someone who could appreciate it. Glad to see the 10” radius with pick guards. How’s the finish on the neck?
Watching this I I better understand the pricing. What gets me , owning 3 SEs and an S2, is that the SE models get some of the same attention to detail.
So where’s the left handed version? I’ll be so happy for the day when guitar manufacturers release both at the same time. Come on, we would like to get excited and not disappointed all the time.
Love it. Now HSH, full size humbucker, true single coil, full size humbucker.. and match my headstock to the body. Then you'd have what Charvel won't do (they make candy coated guitar without matching the headstock, which is lame) Looks like a great Cali style super shredder (could be maryland style super shredder from here on out. But I'm not down with almost single-coil almost hum-bucker sounds. (p90, sure, but not really).
I need to be straight-up and honest. The Narrow Field pickups are a great idea. However, the guitar itself looks like the non-signature version of a Silver Sky, exactly as you did with the Miles Kennedy Signature and the NF 53.
The real question still exist: Is this Guitar and Model the best Strat Style Guitar in its price range?, The best overall Guitar in its price range?, or the best PRS Guitar in its price range?

When you're thinking of buying a certain PRS guitar but this guy makes you wanna buy the whole catalogue
A spectacular addition to what is already a mind-boggling lineup of SE guitars.

Yeah but a nice mix of the two is nice. Yk cause some of us turn our distortion on and would like to know how it sounds with *any* gain
Love that PRS is bringing their new tech to an affordable price point! Excited to give this one a play!
This is a killer sound and looking prs SE model.i Definitely will definitely get one. I like the look the design. Thank you PRS! For giving us choices of affordability.

Metallic orange with rosewood fretboard? Yes please.... Aaand ordered.
Just ordered my metallic orange too.
It is a handsome guitar, the orange with the dark rosewood.
I play a LOT of The Vines stuff live and it's honestly perfect for that. That orange with rosewood fingerboard or maybe even maple, it screams Vines lol
Good addition to the SE lineup!
Been waiting for this since so long! Theres a reason i chose PRS Guitars and i am proud to be their representative as Pulse artist!!
Gonna be a great soul r&b guitar
Definitely a great addition to the SE lineup. Very cool and unique guitar. I agree that it sounds more single coil-ish. I think it's great and could see myself picking one up, especially that orange color they have with the maple fretboard. 🔥
*holds breath for SE T-Style guitar*
+1
It's coming.
Lots of people are waiting for it including me
Great demo Brian!!! The guitar sounds amazing!
I can't wait to see this guitar in France 🇫🇷. Thanks for the demo 👍
This guitar dates all the way back to 2011, it has the same neck, and the exact same body, it's so back!
Also original had a 25.25 inch scale length vs the 25 inch now
@@markharmon9892 OK, But how did iy ranked back then and how much did it cost then?
Yes! How did it rank then and how does it rank now? In the backdrop of so many guitars in the market place between $399 and $999?
@@jc9240 it was a USA made model back then and hence the cost was higher - I believe in the $1500-2000 range at the time.
The used market is fetching 2500$ and up for an original NF3 from 2011 era.

I don't see myself playing one of these, but it sure does have PRS' commitment to quality in it for someone looking for this particular sound.
Maybe the best sounding pups I've ever heard.That guitar sounds great. And coming out of Indonesia, I'm shocked. I wish it had locking tuners. I'm truly impressed.
I've got the original NF3, such a great guitar. I'm surprised someone hasn't had a special version made up as a signature guitar
DEARGOD FINALLY THE DC3 OR I MEAN NF3 IS BACK
Poplar body. Great aldernative if you ash me
Saw these sold in Japan for a while.
Was hoping for the "Tele" version of the NF53. Still, this Strat style build is compelling.
Thanks for the demo. 👍🎶
A lot like the DC3 from years past. That was a killer guitar.
Another awesome guitar for the SE Series. Love it.
I just saw this guitar played by Satria STM, i thought it wont be sold anymore. 🔥🔥🔥 PRS for lyfe

"To Me", looks like they were trying to subtly suggest a Petrucci Majesty...feels faked...
Oh sweet! Prs actually selling something that affects tone in a solid body electric guitar!
Lovely tones, gonna buy this for sure❤
Love that the body isn't just a silver sky.
Right? It's got a touch of the violin carve.
Venga ya!!! Otra?!?!? No tengo sueldo pa tantas PRS !!!!
This is such a cool se model !!
This looks awesome. I’d like to see it with 2 humbuckers similar to the. S2 Standards.
Wish it had been a tele se like an SE NF53 instead of the Strat body. Such a shame. Been wanting that since the cores came out ❤
That middle position is great!
Some attractive features with the exception of the poplar body. I would seriously consider it had they used mahogany as they did in the DGT SE.
Damn. Busfield rocks!
The Silver Sky never interested me bc it was just a Strat that happened to be a PRS. This is uniquely PRS. Very cool guitar
Every PRS i buy is US made. And i always put Seymour Duncan custom shop sets in them. I think its crazy not to do a Colab with Paul and Seymour in the near future.
Need next a HSS version with Starla bridge humbucker 🤤
Hmmmm... Sounds tasty!
Bryan-Great chops!! Where can I find a slide like you’re using? I’ve been looking for one like that forever, and not been able to find one. 😟 In advance, thanks for the assistance!
thx - it's titanium, made by Furious Slides
@@BryanEwald Thanks, man. Where’s a good place to score one?
Sounds great Bryan!
Awesome work as always
Personally, I am not a fan of this guitar.. but that's exactly why I love PRS, they always have something for everyone! ❤

Look up the PRS SE EG.
Make it with wade fat, pattern or pattern vintage neck profile and my hard earned moneyz will be yours. Love to see SE line up evolving all the time. I like these pick ups a lot. It’s the first time when SE pickup don’t feel like a compromise.
Yes for real !!!! Y’all gonna make broke with this SE s love em
Yeah I might have to hit one of these.
Please go old school and make a stoptail version
Wow position two sounds like a strat sound.
Why is that wow who wants another strat sounding guitar that’s what the silver sky is for.
มาแล้วครับ ท่านผู้ชม PRS2024. รอทดสอบเสียงตัวจริงๆนะครับ ลุย🎉🎉😊😊
I just took a test drive of one of these today. I played through a couple of amps. The guitar sounds wonderful clean, and at edge of break up. But I could not get a satisfactory tone with higher gain/distortion. I much prefer the Silver Sky pick ups - they are more balanced.
Just great looking
Those pickups sound nice, great they offer it in the more affordable se range…Do they make a hardtail version?
Hopefully this guitar quality is good. I bought a PRS Semihollow SE it was the worst guitar i ever bought and cost almost $1000. The frets were sticking out so badly it was unplayable.
Please note: I returned that PRS and bought another PRS only because it looks good. But overseas PRS needs better quantity control.
I had a USA one in natural wood finish. Found it at Guitar Center for $900. Now good luck finding one under 2k.

Looks really great 👍🏼
Nice guitar I bought one just like the gunmetal one in the demo about an hour ago
Sounds sweet but I don’t expect anything different from Brian🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Love the colour, hate the pickguard, is there a way to get an original tortoise one?
🔥 🔥 🔥
Please remake the EG Core and SE line!🙏🏻
How do these pickups compare to the narrowfield pickups in the Core Studio?
Can you please stop using Brian for the demos? Im gonna file for bankruptcy soon…
Seconded
😀 same!
It's just not fair!!!!
Can you please stop using Brian for the Demos?...His Playing is gonna lead me to quit my dream of being a Guitar Player and in playing like Him!
Just buy a Brian. Problem solved.
🫳🎤
🤘
Sounds great, man!
Still waiting for the Vela SE 😊
So where’s the left handed version? I’ll be so happy for the day when guitar manufacturers release both at the same time. Come on, we would like to get excited and not disappointed all the time.
@ southernpanda33 Paul has gone on the record in not believing in left handed guitars so maybe after he dies.
@@aperezdeal I mean, he also says wood matters in a closed circuit (It doesn’t) and he did just announce the Silver Sky left handed coming soon, so. 🤔
@ southernpanda33. Wow Mr “no left handed pianos” himself finally capitulated? Nice!
@@aperezdeal wait, he said that, too? Does he not realize they’ve existed for a long time?
I really want this guitar, but a blue one with maple fingerboard.
Really nice!!!! ❤
Very cool!!
What would be a better choice this or a silver sky se? And Why?
Damn, that's f^n killer!
Reminds of G&Ls magnetic field design (MFD) pickups
Love it. Now HSH, full size humbucker, true single coil, full size humbucker.. and match my headstock to the body.
Then you'd have what Charvel won't do (they make candy coated guitar without matching the headstock, which is lame)

Yeah just a big yeah here nice 👍 PRS
Sounds great!
Brian made me buy 9 PRS guitars instead of a car... now I have to share a car with my gf
Would this pickup be similar to goldfoil pickups in terms of overdrive handling and character?
Oh hell yea, that's cool 😎
An upscale swamp ash Body version would be nice!
Nailed it
I watch these for Bryan Ewald's playing. I've never heard anyone "in the pocket" so well. Very groovy but nary a note wrong.
4:05 "I'll never be your beast of burden"
Ok so it needs some love and made more popular….. make an S2 Vela with humbucker and one of these NF3s in the neck.
Thank you
Another Strat Killer!
Another Strat rip off!
Wow. I want that.
PRS should have the pickups white. Do that and I'm all in.
Sounds great but missing bridge neck combo
Is Kanami of BAND-MAID's new PRS a Signature Model or Reserve?
I want to see a direct comparison with a strat.
The real question still exist: Is this Guitar and Model the best Strat Style Guitar in its price range?, The best overall Guitar in its price range?, or the best PRS Guitar in its price range?
Tune that bad boy
How many times it had to be recorded to successfully say bass pickup instead of neck pickup?
Calling the neck pickup the bass pickup is new to me.
