PRS Guitars | New Tekton Series

PRS’ Newest Family of Guitars is Aimed at the Modern-Minded Player!

PRS Guitars has always been built on the foundation of combining player feedback and a continually expanding knowledge base! The new PRS Tekton family is built around the growing call for PRS guitars with a more modern design: thinner neck profiles, sleeker body styles, and electronics that are built with today’s player in mind!

Named after the ancient Greek word for an artisan or craftsman, Tekton is built for players who value precision and a direct connection to their instrument. Each Tekton, Tekton T, Tekton Floyd, and Tekton SVN is a reflection of PRS’ foundation of combining traditional craftsmanship, modern performance, and a constant consideration of player feedback. Chicago Music Exchange is proud to be one of the first places where you can find the PRS Tekton, so call us today at 773-525-7773, chat with us on our website, or simply come into our Lincoln Avenue Showroom to get your hands on the Tekton!

PRS Tekton T Black Tourmaline

£2,203.00

The PRS Tekton T (tremolo) is a modern performance instrument born from listening to players and years of experience. From its unique body shape, shallow violin carve, and sculpted neck heel to its 25.5” scale length, stainless steel frets, and 16” fretboard radius, the Tekton T was engineered to feel fast, comfortable, and familiar from the first note. The addition of all- new purpose-built pickups and electronics make the Tekton T equally suited for tube amps and digital rigs.

Starting with a mango top and subtly offset body, the Tekton T is instantly recognizable as PRS while grabbing attention with its fresh, modern look. The thin maple neck and wider string spacing allow guitarists to play with confidence and comfort.

At the heart of the Tekton T are PRS Stylus pickups, developed specifically for this family of guitars. Voiced for clarity, articulation, and character, Stylus pickups deliver aggressive tones without sacrificing note definition. While not “flat-response” pickups, they do have a flatter output than many other humbuckers to keep some character while catering more to digital rigs. So whether running into a traditional tube amplifier or a modern digital rig, Stylus pickups provide responsiveness and dynamic range. Split or full humbucking, every position was designed to be equally useful on stage, in the studio, or at home.

Anchoring this guitar is the PRS two-point tremolo, which provides expressive performance possibilities, so you can shape every note while maintaining tuning stability and reliability. Combined with the Tekton’s lightweight body, comfortable contours, and modern appointments, the result is an instrument equally suited for technical passages, soaring lead work, and everything in between.

Named after the ancient Greek word for artisan or builder, Tekton reflects the philosophy behind this guitar: combining thoughtful craftsmanship with modern performance. Built for players who are constantly refining their technique, expanding their sound, and looking ahead to what’s next.

A Carefully Crafted Silhouette

Tekton is a new shape for PRS, sort of like a cross between the Vela and Custom body silhouettes. Tekton incorporates an exaggerated treble bout scoop for unrestricted upper fret access, and a belly carve for added comfort! The result is the thinnest body that PRS has made in standard production.

The neck was developed in a similar fashion, inspired by a modern “D” profile, and adding hormigo strength rods for added resonance and stability! To help with high-velocity playing, Tekton features the same string spacing as the PRS Silver Sky and Fiore, which are slightly wider than the traditional PRS spacing. The offset dot inlays, Luminlay side dots, 25.5” scale length (26.5” scale length for the Tekton SVN), and ebony fingerboard with a 16” radius also add to the Tekton’s status as a shredder’s dream guitar. Finally, Tekton features a first for a PRS production guitar: stainless steel frets!

These Pickups Never Go Out of Style!

Each Tekton is loaded with PRS’ brand-new Stylus pickups. These Alnico 5 pickups carefully walk the tightrope between aggression and clarity, and are designed with modern rigs in mind. PRS Stylus pickups have a flatter response across the EQ spectrum than any pickup ever made by the Stevensville, Maryland manufacturer, while still having some character that shines through traditional tube amps. No matter what you’re plugging into, Tekton will ensure that your playing shines through!
