PRS Tekton T Black Tourmaline

The Tekton: a PRS for today's guitarists

The PRS Tekton T Tremolo embodies a resolutely contemporary vision of the stage electric guitar. Its name, derived from an ancient Greek word associated with the craftsman and builder, reflects the idea of an instrument where meticulous craftsmanship meets technical choices suited to today's demands. It retains recognizable elements of the PRS universe while adopting a bolder silhouette and a format designed for musicians seeking a guitar that delivers immediate results.

Its figured mango top, shallow violin-style carve and offset body give it a strong visual personality. The bolt-on construction provides a lively, direct response under the fingers, while the sculpted neck heel facilitates access to all 24 frets. With its Smoked Black hardware and glossy nitrocellulose finishing, the Tekton T offers a modern aesthetic without sacrificing PRS's signature elegance.

A fast electric guitar for modern playing and demanding stages

The PRS Tekton T Tremolo is particularly suited to intermediate, advanced and professional guitarists looking for a precise, comfortable instrument capable of keeping up with demanding technique. Its maple neck with a relatively slim Modern " D " profile offers a stable, fast feel for tight rhythm parts, technical passages, wide bends and solos across the entire fretboard.

Thanks to its 25.5-inch / 648 mm scale length and generous string spacing, it is well suited to modern approaches where articulation matters as much as power: alternative rock, progressive rock, melodic metal, fusion, contemporary pop, powerful funk or modern electric blues. The two-point tremolo allows you to add movement to chords, nuance a melody or accentuate a solo, while maintaining excellent tuning stability thanks to the locking tuners.

Clear, dynamic Stylus pickups suited to hybrid sounds

At the heart of the Tekton T, the two PRS Stylus pickups give the guitar a precise, assertive voice. These humbuckers were developed to deliver a solid output without burying the detail in the notes. They retain a clear response in complex chords, a well-defined attack on overdriven rhythm parts and excellent dynamics when the guitarist works the volume control or varies their picking intensity.

The bridge pickup provides the density, bite and definition required for modern riffs as well as incisive solos. The neck pickup favors a rounder, fuller texture, ideal for singing phrases, expressive arpeggios and more enveloping tones. The 3-way blade switch allows you to move quickly from one register to another, while the push/pull tone control provides access to more open and brighter split-coil sounds.

The combination of the figured mango top, mahogany back, maple neck and ebony key contributes to the instrument's overall balance. Mahogany supports the mids and sustain, maple promotes a clear attack, while ebony enhances precision and response speed. The carved top adds a touch of sophistication to a guitar designed to remain responsive, expressive and versatile, whether connected to a traditional tube amp, a digital pedalboard or a recording interface.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve the original feel, we recommend a set of electric guitar strings in .010-.046 gauge, matching the factory setup. The guitar comes with a PRS Premium Gig Bag, convenient for everyday transport and protection against scratches. A chromatic tuner and a quality instrument cable naturally complete this setup for rehearsals, recording and live performance.
