PRS shows their own Telecaster to world
PRS made new model! We are all wait a lot for it and me too. PRS Tele! And TWO models!
First - we all see it already at Alter Bridge shows in hands of Myles Kennedy!
PRS Myles Kennedy Signature Model
Introducing Myles Kennedy’s first signature model. Known for his work in Alter Bridge,
Slash and the Conspirators, and his own solo recordings, Kennedy is an accomplished
guitarist who brings blues and jazz style to rock guitar playing. This new signature model
mirrors Kennedy’s rock sensibilities with a nod to historic designs. While the aesthetic may
have players hearing chicken pickin’ in their heads – and this guitar can certainly reach
twang territory – it is made to play like a rock machine.
“This guitar captures the spirit of my favorite older instruments. With that said, since we developed
this guitar, most of my vintage instruments rarely see the light of day,” said Kennedy.
The PRS Myles Kennedy signature guitar features a swamp ash body, a 22-fret, 25.5” scale
length maple neck with maple fretboard, and two PRS Narrowfield MK pickups. The PRS
Narrowfield MK pickups were carefully voiced to capture the courage of humbuckers and the
spank of single coils. PRS Narrowfields provided the perfect starting point for this design,
with their ability to deliver thick single-coil sounds without the hum. These pickups are
paired with a 5-way blade switch and a push/pull tone control that acts as a preset tone roll-
off, bringing down the higher frequencies on the treble pickup so you can dig in to the fullest.
“I watched Myles throughout his career alternate between humbucking and single coil sounds
without giving anything up on either side. These pickups took us months to dial in, and I think
they capture that balance that Myles mastered beautifully,” said Paul Reed Smith.
Other features include a PRS plate-style steel bridge, vintage-style locking tuners, bone nut,
and Kennedy’s “Geometric Owl” logo from his “Ides of March” solo release, representing
wisdom and adaptability.
“I feel like we managed to touch on the elusive quality that makes you want to play with this
guitar. It beckons you to take it off the wall or out of the case and make music.”

Second Tele is The PRS NF 53
The PRS NF 53 is a powerful guitar that combines classic tones with modern design.
Inspired by one of Paul Reed Smith’s vintage guitars from 1953, the PRS NF 53 combines
a swamp ash body and 22-fret, 25.5” scale length bolt-on maple neck with maple
fretboard with a special set of PRS Narrowfield pickups. The PRS Narrowfield DD (Deep
Dish) pickups are made with taller bobbins to fit more winds and extra metal pieces in
between the magnets for a more focused, powerful tone.
“I am so pleased with the feedback from the artists who have played this guitar –
everyone is telling us that we have something special here,” said Paul Reed Smith. “If
you are a fan of this style and tone, the NF 53 will take you where you want to go. To me
to have this kind of beautiful high end without the hum is game changing.”
Paired with a volume and tone control and 3-way blade pickup switch, the NF 53
allows players to easily dial in their sound. The steel plate-style bridge, PRS vintage
style tuners, and nickel hardware all work together to provide precise and reliable
tuning stability while promoting sustain and powerful tone.
The PRS NF 53 is available in four stunning finishes: White Doghair, Black Doghair, Blue
Matteo, and McCarty Tobacco Sunburst. Whether you are a seasoned player or just
starting out, the PRS NF 53 is an addictive guitar you won’t want to put down.
