- With the Silver Sky, PRS found great success in revisiting a classic recipe. Can they do it again? Learn more and buy your own NF 53 or Myles Kennedy Signature here: bit.ly/3Nld8NL
*Correction: At around 1:35, we say the guitars share the same exact body shape. However, the NF 53's body has a slight offset, compared to the more standard shape of the Myles Kennedy Signature.

Andy, the human plectrum. Sounding great as always.
Thanks so much!
Andy is no joke, what a freaking amazing demo here.
I’m really impressed with how great both sound, and I’m glad PRS chose to create their own T Style guitar. You’re the G.O.A.T., Andy, amazing demo as always.
Great playing. This is the best demo of these guitars I’ve seen. I think they both sound fantastic.
I don't think there is a better representation of this guitar than in this video! I love those power chords at the end of the song. Everything cut through nice.
Love the MK overall but that dog hair finish rocks too
Rosewood board please!! NF-53 I get. Super pickups, clarity and simple switching. Not sure I understand the concept of the MK signature... But kudos to PRS innovation.
Dang that’s a juicy intro, I’m going to have to study that
They both sound incredibly GOOD!!
Good grief. Paul always delivers. What a nice new voice on a legendary construct.
The more I see videos of these the more I like them. Seems a lot cooler than the silver sky. Really want to check out one of the nf53 at my guitar shop here
Killer opening track Andy! Your playing is always Inspiring. Can you please post a video of just the music track? I would love to jam along with it. 🙏🏻🎸
These look almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a telecaster.😂
I’ll stick with my ASAT Classic, but I do like the different layouts, the NF-53 with the switch next to the tone knob reminds me of a Nighthawk, while the MK with the switch in the middle reminds me of an Ibanez (no idea what the jumbled alpha-numeric name was) I tried out in my local shop 25 years ago.
Very ASAT-like, imho
😎👍💓🇺🇸🎸 LONG LIVE PRS!!!
RELIC FREE SINCE 1985!
relicing is cool nobmatter how hard boomers push against it
My PRS is relic… but it’s because I played it A LOT :)
Bought the MK in sunburst last week after extensive testing in the store and can't put it down. Absolutely amazing instrument, better than my Fender Teles, which include two Custom Shop models that did cost almost twice as much as the MK here in Europe. People not understanding the price point do make a mistake here - you can't compare this to an American Pro II or Ultra from Fender at all. It compares to a Nik Huber Twangmeister or Shabat Lion in quality, and these are a lot more expensive. I do agree with those wanting more exciting finishes though... some cool metallic colors would certainly help to make them look less boring...
They are not the same exact body shape - the upper and lower bouts are both slightly differently shaped on the guitars, with the NF53 having a slightly more dramatic offset
Love Myles! He should change his name to Midas Kennedy because every project he touches turns to gold.
The NF53 sounds like a million bucks!
To me the Tele is the one guitar no one can copy effectively. It's not even my #1 favourite, but it's just the OG and ultimate icon.
I've been thinking about the NF 53 for 6 months, but this video hasn't made me pull the trigger. The "clean" sound doesn't sound all that clean on either one. A couple of other demos I listened to sounded much cleaner.
The only AI I could get behind would be one that makes Andy immortal.
If they made it in better colors id definitely want one
Great playing for sure. Great guitars.
I will take the NF 53 Dog hair in black, but with the Myles Kennedy pick ups
These demos brought out the flesh sound of your fingers, especially the NF53. Amp setting or pickups I wonder?
Great demo, I just wonder though, can Bruce take out a roadie with one of these?
They do not have the same body shape. If you pay attention, the 53 has a longer upper bout.
Not sold on those 2&4 positions. I’m only listening on my phone so there may be more to them.
Positions 2 and 4 on the MK version have a pretty significant volume drop.
I was hoping for a John Mayer equivalent in price.
Not "exactly" the same body shape between the two.
Why? Someone tell me one iconic recording done with a PRS guitar? Can someone tell me why this is ?? I can't name one tone ever produced by a PRS guitar on one song. I'm 59 yo and never have I heard of any artists prove nor say they recorded a riff with a PRS .
Carlos Santana has played a PRS for over 40 years to name one.
With the 5 way switch and the push pull for the MK, I now wonder which one of the MK or NF53 is the closest of a let’s say a vintage ‘50s Tele?
That headstock...just doesn't feel right there ..
You call that clean?????
Have to say at the price point it’s a no, maybe a great guitar but I can get a lot of Tele for that price
kinda looks like a burns steer
is NOTHING sacred?!!😲
Nope! Bass player have been innovating Leo's ideas since the '70's. Welcome to 2023!
@@kingjbone1 🤭👍
I think they sound great but not quite a tele… these are humbucking pickups, they go harder than traditional Tele. I wish I didn’t see the Tele influence on them, visually speaking. To me these are great guitars spec wise and sound wise, good finishes but just wish they didn’t look like imitation teles…. But they did so well with Silver Sky….
I'm old - I like my telecasters to look like telecasters . I'm sure they're very nice , just not for me
Looks like a partscaster
in no way whatsoever
@@imandan1966 super basic, flat-top, bolt-on guitar + a gig bag for $3k. In no way whatsoever
Great playing but I’ll stick with the sounds of a real tele and a Les Paul for humbuckers. Don’t like the sound at all compared to the classics. Sorry. Although the Myles Kennedy version is pretty good. Not the other.
Man that dog hair finish is cool but to me it sounds pretty terrible. Could be the rig but it is a complete ice pick to me ears. Kinda surprised tbh.
It would be SO MUCH BETTER with dots.
I'd prefer black blocks
Oh. Sure. Right.
LOL: tonewood
PaRtscaSter.
I would only buy a PRS if they removed the bird inlays. I don't like it
They have Moon inlays in some of their other models, like the Vela which is kinda like a double cutaway tele
As a PRS owner with multiple guitars (SE, Core, even Private Stock at the studio), I wouldn’t buy a PRS if it wouldn’t have birds….for me birds are a must have feature for PRS.
A Key feature for me in terms of aesthetic. Have always loved those.
My partocaster tele looks better and sounds way better. Really, no hate here. I am going to buy a single cut PRS, but not this model. The LP one.
I would take the Myles guitar with min. the colors of the NF53. Come on, Paul - - it`s a PRS and then you give as white, black,green and natural - - more boring is impossible.... so it is not my guitar, not the NF 53 cause of the specs and also not the Myles, cause of its boring colors. Seems their is a lot to do for you, Paul.
The pickups sound lifeless.
😂 yeah, no
Earwax problem? 🤔
Birds for me dots are a dime dozen
Not bad but not $2800 worth imo.
Why would a company create a guitar that looks like a guy in a garage put a jc Penney neck on a fender guitar? What's the point? It has no tone! It's completely sterile
I don’t get the fascination with PRS -they copy other manufacturers designs and then make them uglier with that awful headstock and lame bird inlays. If you want a telecaster buy a Fender🤷♂️
because they're made infinitely better than fenders
Oh, because it’s the first manufacturer to make a guitar that looks like a Les Paul, or a like a Strat, or like now a Tele… nobody ever done that before, right…. Right?! The reason they do that kind of guitars is because people (like me) love PRS so much that after buying their usual guitars such Custom 22, Custom 24, then we want more of PRS, we would like to be able to buy any kind of shape and style with this constant higher quality… so now we can get a PRS Hollowbody II (335), a PRS Singlecut 594 (Les Paul), or a PRS Silver Sky (Strat) and finally a PRS NF53 (Tele). And of course, the main demand came from their Artist such John Mayer (for the Silver Sky), and now Miles Kennedy (for this N53)… You would understand if you would own a PRS, their higher quality is addictive. You’re just hating them because you surely never own them, otherwise you would understand and you wouldn’t post such idiotic comment… enough said!
@@SpidouzHERE HERE
They just sound like any other PRS, kinda inoffensive and sterile
Right. Zero tone. Not inspiring.
You gamma boys don’t have the cheese for one anyway. PRS 58/15 LT is one of the nicest modern humbuckers ever created. The Silver Sky pickups are fucking amazing. I’ve been building, buying, selling and trading boutique guitars for two decades. I’ve heard plenty of pickups. PRS are very consistent but sterile and lifeless do not apply.
@@HuWhiteNat I’ll keep my Les Paul’s lol
@@Biglooshus54 that’s all you, brother. I personally have no use for anything over 7.5 lbs. In my experience, modern Gibsons have abysmal quality control. They rarely offer anything new and when they do, it’s as cool as robot tuners. The new PRS S2 594 Anniversary will crush any Gibson dollar for dollar.
@@HuWhiteNat What's that? I couldn't hear you. I was busy cranking my Strat with Fender Custom Shop pickups! 😅
I have both Fender Teles (2) and PRS guitars (2). I love them both for different reasons. They'll take getting used to. They're sure Fugly! 😁 But I have to say, for a humbucker they have quite a bit of spank.
The neck of one guitar on the body of another guitar. That's all I see.
No tele sounds….all humbucker variations…
Is the non signature model slight offset 🤔
Yes, although both PRS are inspired by a T-style shape there are subtle differences between the two shapes including a very slight offset on the NF-53.
Eagle eye!
No rosewood fretboard? No thanks!!! The maple fretboards look like what you find on young kids micro electric guitar starter kits for less $90 dollars!!! @ 3:17 you can see the difference in the body shapes, cutaway shapes, very slight upper bout shapes! The cutaway MK joins at the 19th fret, NF 53 at the 21st fret.
