PRS Tekton SVN 7-string in Bloodstone Red

The PRS Tekton SVN has a 26.5″ scale length for extra string tension and low-end clarity, 24 stainless steel jumbo frets, a 16″ fretboard radius and a Modern “D” SVN neck carve.

This guitar is finished in Bloodstone Red with a black satin neck. The body has a figured mango top on a mahogany back in high-gloss nitro.

Stylus pickups

The PRS Stylus SVN pickups were developed for the Tekton family. They use Alnico 5 magnets and have a flatter, lower output than many high-gain humbuckers (around 13k treble and 11k bass DC resistance), which keeps notes clear under gain and makes them work well with both tube amps and digital modelers. The push/pull tone control splits the coils, giving six usable sounds from the 3-way blade switch.

Bridge and tuning

The 7-string PRS Hardtail bridge has individual saddles for precise intonation and a string-through design for resonance and sustain, paired with PRS Phase III locking tuners.

Neck and playability

The bolt-on maple neck has hormigo strength rods for stability and resonance, an ebony fretboard with offset dot inlays and blue Luminlay side dots. String spacing matches the PRS Silver Sky and Fiore, slightly wider than traditional PRS spacing. The body has an exaggerated scoop for upper-fret access and a belly carve.

Who is this 7-string for?

• Guitarists who want a low B string for heavier riffs and extended-range playing.
• Players who use both tube amps and digital modelers and want clear notes under gain.
• Players who like the string spacing of the PRS Silver Sky and Fiore.

If you are moving from a 6-string, try the guitar in person to judge the neck feel and string spacing. You can do that in our showroom in Hilversum.
