Comes with the original gig bag, but I do have it sitting in a Gator flight pro V2 TSA series ATA molded case… It is New and retail is $220… You can have it for an extra $135…
The neck pick up has been swapped out to a single coil… The three “narrow field” pick ups seemed to be a bit redundant…. The Neck pickup has been replaced with a Fender Pure Vintage '65 single coil. Cool tone….
Fender Pickup specs :
Enamel-coated magnet wire delivers warm vintage-style tones
Alnico 5 magnets add more focus and enhanced dynamics
Staggered polepieces balance volume and output across every string
Wax-potted
Period-correct cloth wire and fiber bobbin construction
If you were shooting for a little bit of that Stevie Ray Vaughan neck pick up tone, then… This upgrade/change should be to your liking!
…ordered Schaller M6/135 locking tuners… $139 plus tax… installed… nice!
If you want to buy this guitar, just add $140 to the posted price and you can have the locking tuners installed as well! Or, I can take them back off…
From the web:
The Strat type guitar has remained synonymous with flexible, powerful performances, since its inception, and the PRS SE NF 3 carries the torch of rock ‘n’ roll workhorse tradition, blending premium tonewoods with malleable playability and roaring character.
A trio of PRS-designed Narrowfield DD “S” pickups (now a duo !) give you a smorgasbord of tonal possibilities, impressing guitarists with flexible, yet focused sonic character. Outfitted with a lightning-fast neck, sculpted contours, and a PRS Patented Tremolo, the PRS SE NF 3 was engineered for maximum expression and diverse performances, from subtle and smoldering to searing and scorching.
Luthiers at PRS spare no effort in dialing in the ideal tonewood concoction, and the PRS SE NF 3 is no exception. Its poplar body anchors the axe’s sonic profile in direct, articulate tones. Maple makes up the neck and fingerboard, imbuing tones with a warm, balanced voice, adding a shimmering veneer to every register without sacrificing clarity. Together, this tonewood combination conjures a landscape of electrifying possibilities to excavate innumerable, vibrant tones for your next studio or stage performance.
Drawing inspiration from the NF 53 before it, the PRS SE NF 3 deploys the “S” variant of their Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) pickups. With neck-, middle-, and bridge-mounted options, theses pups capture the peak characteristics of a humbucker, a P-90, a traditional single-coil, and a mini humbucker, merging them into a distinctively voiced and carefully tuned force of punchy laser-focused tones. Master Tone and Volume controls are complemented by a 5-way blade switch, giving you the keys to robust onboard sound-shaping.
Meticulous contouring endows the PRS SE NF 3 with a menagerie of style and comfort, augmented by pairing a Wide Thin-profile neck with a 10-inch fingerboard radius, accommodating multitudes of play styles with ease. Its heel and treble-side cutaway were sculpted with exacting precision, providing unfettered access to all 22 frets and supplying players with the carefully calculated space needed to navigate the 25-inch scale. Plus, when your sound is ready to truly take flight, the PRS Patented Tremolo is fueled for takeoff.
