Introducing the PRS Tekton Family. An entirely new chapter for Paul Reed Smith.
More than just a new model, the Tekton represents an entirely new family of guitars, purpose-built for modern, technically demanding players. Featuring the thinnest bodies and necks PRS has ever produced in standard production, stainless steel frets, flatter fingerboards, and all-new Stylus pickups engineered for traditional amplifiers and digital rigs alike, the Tekton marks one of the most significant expansions of the PRS lineup in years.
The PRS Tekton SVN brings this exciting new platform into 7-string territory. Finished in the spectacular Violet Tourmaline, this example features a stunning Figured Mango top complemented by a metallic colorshift back that transitions between green and purple. Weighing in at just 7 lbs, its sculpted Mahogany body, shallow violin carve, and exaggerated upper-fret access deliver exceptional comfort, while the extended 26.5" scale length provides outstanding tension and low-end definition.
The satin-finished Maple neck features PRS's new Modern "D" SVN profile, paired with an Ebony fingerboard, 16" radius, 24 Jumbo stainless steel frets, offset dot inlays, and blue Luminlay side dots. It's an impressive combination of speed, precision, and refinement, with the unmistakable feel of a premium PRS.
Powering the Tekton SVN are the newly developed PRS Stylus SVN pickups. These Alnico 5 humbuckers deliver aggressive, articulate tones with exceptional clarity and dynamic response. Specifically voiced to excel through both traditional amplifiers and modern digital rigs, they offer tight, focused lows, outstanding note separation, and remarkable versatility, with push/pull coil-splitting for additional tonal options.
Finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose and appointed with Smoked Black hardware, PRS Phase III locking tuners, and a 7-string hardtail bridge, the Tekton SVN is a seriously exciting evolution of the PRS formula.
A bold new direction for PRS, built for the next generation of players.
