Sound: Stylus pickups

The PRS Stylus 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.

• A 3-way blade switch

Bridge and tuning

The PRS Two-Point Tremolo with steel plate and brass saddles can be set up floating and is paired with PRS Phase III locking tuners for tuning stability. The brass saddles add to the resonance of the instrument.

If you plan to use the tremolo often, ask our team about setup. A floating tremolo reacts to string gauge and tuning, so a proper setup helps the guitar stay in tune and feel the way you want.

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 the Tekton T for?

• Players who want a PRS with a bolt-on maple neck and a tremolo
• Guitarists who use both tube amps and digital modelers
