PRS Tekton Electric Guitar with Natural Neck - Violet Tourmaline

Built to Respond - The PRS Tekton Electric Guitar with Natural Neck in Violet Tourmaline

The PRS Tekton is designed for players who value precision, consistency, and a direct connection to their instrument. Built on the same modern platform as every Tekton model, the Hardtail combines refined ergonomics, contemporary specifications, and purpose-built electronics in a package that feels focused, responsive, and ready for anything.

• PRS Hardtail: Designed with individual saddles for perfect intonation and string-through design for increased resonance and sustain
• PRS Phase III Locking Tuner: Modern locking technology with vintage elegance, these lightweight tuners promote tone transfer for a louder, more resonant instrument
• PRS Stylus Pickups: Stylus pickups deliver exceptional clarity and character in every position, clean or overdriven, through tube amps and digital rigs

Featuring a 25.5” scale length, stainless steel frets, a 16” fretboard radius, and the Tekton family’s thin-yet-substantial neck carve, the Tekton delivers effortless playability across its entire ebony fingerboard. The lightweight body, sculpted contours, and enhanced upper-fret access create an instrument designed to stay comfortable through long practice sessions, demanding studio work, and extended performances.

At the heart of the Tekton are PRS Stylus pickups, developed specifically for this family of guitars. Voiced for articulation, clarity, and character, Stylus pickups provide exceptional note definition whether played clean or overdriven and pushed through a tube amplifier or paired with digital modeling platforms. Every pickup position – humbucking and split – was designed to be equally usable, offering a wide range of sounds without sacrificing focus or musicality.

The Tekton’s Hardtail bridge enhances the instrument’s natural resonance and delivers a remarkably responsive playing experience. For players who prioritize precision, tuning stability, and consistency, the Tekton offers a straightforward approach that lets the instrument – and the player – speak for themselves.

Named after the ancient Greek word for artisan or builder, Tekton reflects the philosophy behind this guitar: combining thoughtful craftsmanship with modern performance. Built for players who are constantly refining their technique, expanding their sound, and looking ahead to what’s next.
