Designed for precision, responsiveness and expressive control, the PRS Tekton T electric guitar combines sculpted ergonomics, versatile electronics and a two-point tremolo 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 two-point tremolo with a steel plate and brass saddles provides expressive pitch control, complemented by Phase III locking tuners for tuning stability. The result is an instrument designed for technical playing, recording and performance.
Figured Mango and Mahogany Combine Distinctive Style With Comfort
The Tekton T 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 T's streamlined design.
Modern D Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard Support Fluid Playing
The Tekton T'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 Two-Point Tremolo Delivers Expressive Pitch Control
The Tekton T features a PRS two-point tremolo with a steel plate and brass saddles, providing responsive pitch control for subtle vibrato, expressive bends and more pronounced tremolo effects. Its two-point mounting system supports smooth movement and tuning stability, with the ability to float for both upward and downward pitch changes. Brass saddles contribute to the instrument's resonance, while PRS Phase III locking tuners offer precise tuning adjustments and convenient string changes. A PRS nut provides consistent string support, and smoked black hardware gives the guitar a cohesive, contemporary appearance. An included PRS premium gig bag provides protection for transport between rehearsals, sessions and performances.
Modern PRS Engineering With Expanded Expressive Possibilities
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 expressive pitch control of the PRS two-point tremolo. For guitarists seeking an instrument suited to intricate rhythms, fluid lead work and demanding performance environments, the PRS Tekton T electric guitar combines modern specifications, versatile electronics and player-focused ergonomics.
