NGD: PRS SE NF3

[AlbertA]

PRS SE NF3 in metallic orange

A 25% off local shop sale got me.
Poplar body, maple neck and fretboard.

Narrow field pickups - these land more towards the single coil tone territory.

No locking tuners though.
I will probably replace both the nut and tuners like I did for my PRS SE DGT.

Good fretwork, edges are correctly beveled and smoothed out, no fret spout.
I found about 5 high spots through out the neck.
10" radius but feels flatter maybe because its wider.

The neck profile shape is more modern like, kinda like D shaped.
PRS says this is a "wide thin" profile.

Pocket fit could be tighter but I don't feel any movement here.

No complaints on the bridge.

The stock neck relief was set to .010", twice what I usually set it at for 10s.

Stock action came at:

• 2mm at the 12th fret, low-E string
• 1.75mm high-E string.
• 2.25mm last fret, low-E string
• 2mm last fret, high-E string

I'll probably go through a full setup once the nut and locking tuners come in.
