PRS Tekton Violet Tourmaline

The PRS Tekton is the hardtail model of the new Tekton family from PRS Guitars. It is built for players who want precision, consistency and a direct connection to the instrument, with a modern spec sheet: 25.5″ scale length, 24 stainless steel jumbo frets, a 16″ fretboard radius and the thin Modern “D” neck carve that defines every Tekton.

This guitar is finished in Violet Tourmaline with a natural satin maple neck. The body has a figured mango top on a mahogany back in high-gloss nitro.

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.

Bridge and tuning

The PRS Hardtail bridge has individual saddles for precise intonation and a string-through design for resonance and sustain. Combined with PRS Phase III locking tuners, it gives a stable, straightforward setup for players who prioritise tuning stability.

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.

The thin Modern “D” neck shape and the 16″ radius suit players who like fast, modern playability. Neck feel is personal, so if you can, try the guitar in our showroom before you decide.
