In my quest to locate some decent gig machines, I snagged a couple guitars from the Vintage Rocker/Birds and Moons forum... including a sweet deal on this PRS NF3.
The body is Korina (Limba) with a trans black finish (I know it's dark but in good light, you can see the grain) and a maple neck. The scale length is longer than a normal PRS, 25 1/4", so splits the difference between a PRS and strat scale. This makes string bending extra slinky. Also the bridge and saddles are steel instead of brass.
The pickups are 57/08 narrowfield humbuckers. They're supposed to hit a middle ground between humbuckers, singles, and P90's. I haven't quite warmed up to them yet, but fortunately a removable pickguard makes it an easy swap.
I figured I'd keep my favorite between this and the SE with the P90. I'm torn. I like the sound of the P90 but this guitar is so light and sexy feeling to play. Stay tuned.
