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. The guitar is tuned B, E, A, D, G, B, E and comes with PRS Signature 10-59 strings.

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?

If you are moving to a 7-string for the first time, the long scale and the wider string spacing are worth trying in person, because they change how chords and low riffs feel under your hands. The clear, lower-output pickups suit players who record or play through a digital modeler as well as those who use a tube amp. You can play the Tekton range in our showroom in Hilversum.
