Swamp ash body
The body is made from swamp ash.

Independent shopping perspective
The Black Doghair NF 53 combines a swamp ash body with a bolt-on maple neck and maple fingerboard, using 22 frets at a 25.5-inch scale length. A set of PRS Narrowfield DD pickups provides its pickup platform: taller bobbins create room for more winds, and extra metal pieces sit between the magnets to focus the output. The control scheme stays clear—master volume, master tone, and a 3-way blade switch—so pickup and level changes remain contained in one familiar area. Steel plate-style bridge hardware, vintage-style tuners, and nickel hardware finish the build.
