A bold new chapter in PRS design.

Designed for precision, responsiveness and modern playability, the PRS Tekton electric guitar combines sculpted ergonomics, versatile electronics and premium construction in a performance-focused instrument. A figured mango top and mahogany back provide a distinctive foundation, while contoured body edges and a shallow violin carve offer comfort and balance. The bolt-on maple neck features PRS's Modern D profile and a satin nitro finish, complemented by a 16"-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 stainless steel jumbo frets for fast, precise playing. Purpose-built PRS Stylus humbuckers deliver articulate tone with clear note definition through traditional amplifiers and digital rigs, while push/pull coil splitting expands the guitar's tonal range with brighter single-coil textures. A PRS hardtail bridge and Phase III locking tuners provide tuning stability and direct response, completing an instrument designed for technical playing, recording and performance.

Figured Mango and Mahogany Combine Distinctive Style With Comfort

The Tekton pairs a figured mango top with a mahogany back, creating a distinctive solidbody platform with a contemporary appearance. PRS's shallow violin carve highlights the natural figuring of the top while giving the body its sculpted profile. Carefully contoured edges, a comfortable belly carve and a lightweight design provide a close fit against the player during extended rehearsals, recording sessions and performances. The body's exaggerated upper cutaway also supports access to the highest frets, accommodating demanding lead techniques. A high-gloss nitro finish accentuates the figured mango's individual grain patterns, bringing visual depth to the Tekton's streamlined design.

Modern D Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard Support Fluid Playing

The Tekton's bolt-on maple neck features PRS's Modern D profile, combining a slim playing feel with substantial support for comfortable, controlled fretting. Its satin nitro finish provides a smooth surface for movement along the neck, while the 25.5" scale delivers responsive string tension. A relatively flat 16"-radius ebony fingerboard offers a precise playing surface for expressive bends, intricate chord voicings and fluid lead work. Twenty-four stainless steel jumbo frets provide a durable, consistent fretting surface across two full octaves, complemented by offset dot inlays and blue Luminlay side dots for visibility on dark stages. Wider string spacing supports precise picking and sweeping techniques, completing a neck design tailored to contemporary playing styles.

PRS Stylus Humbuckers Deliver Articulate, Versatile Electric Tone

Developed specifically for the Tekton family, PRS Stylus humbuckers are voiced for articulation, clarity and dynamic response across a range of playing environments. Their focused character preserves individual note definition through clean amplification and saturated gain alike, allowing complex chords and fast passages to remain clear. Designed for traditional tube amplifiers and modern digital modeling systems, the Stylus pickups feature a comparatively flatter output response than many other PRS humbuckers, retaining character while accommodating different amplification platforms. A three-way blade switch provides pickup selection, while a push/pull tone control activates split-coil sounds for brighter, leaner textures. Both humbucking and split configurations are voiced for musical balance, giving players a versatile range of sounds without sacrificing clarity.

PRS Hardtail Bridge Supports Precise, Responsive Performance

The Tekton's PRS hardtail bridge provides a stable string anchor that emphasizes direct response and consistent performance. Its string-through design and individual saddles support resonance, sustain and precise intonation adjustments, while the fixed configuration simplifies tuning and maintenance compared with a tremolo system. PRS Phase III locking tuners offer smooth, precise tuning control and convenient string changes, complemented by a PRS nut for consistent string support. Smoked black hardware gives the guitar a cohesive, contemporary appearance, while the satin-finished neck and high-gloss nitro body reflect the attention to detail throughout its construction. An included PRS premium gig bag provides protection for transport between rehearsals, sessions and performances.

Precision Engineering Meets a New Era of PRS Design

Named after the ancient Greek word for artisan or builder, Tekton reflects PRS's approach to purposeful craftsmanship, with design choices informed by the needs of contemporary guitarists. Its sculpted figured mango and mahogany body combines distinctive visual character with ergonomic comfort, while the Modern D maple neck, ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets support technical precision and fluid playability. Purpose-built Stylus humbuckers offer tonal flexibility across traditional and digital amplification, complemented by the stable, responsive foundation of a PRS hardtail bridge. For guitarists seeking an instrument suited to intricate rhythms, expressive lead work and demanding performance environments, the PRS Tekton electric guitar combines modern specifications, versatile electronics and player-focused ergonomics.
