Description

The PRS Tekton Hardtail is primed for progressive rock and metal players seeking a guitar that feels lightning-fast and like a natural extension of themselves. With its cutting-edge feature set and modern, ergonomic design, this stellar instrument puts performance and comfort front and centre. Boasting the thinnest body and neck PRS has ever offered on a standard production model, durable stainless-steel frets and dual coil-splittable humbuckers designed with both valve amps and digital rigs in mind, everything about the Tekton is engineered to keep you focused on making music — with nothing slowing you down. Contemporary playability For the Tekton, PRS has moved away from its traditional 25″ scale length in favour of a slightly longer 25.5″ scale. The result is a little extra string tension, making it better suited to tight, rapid-fire riffing and drop tunings. A slim-yet-substantial Modern “D” Maple neck with a satin finish, 24 jumbo frets and a flat 16″-radius Ebony fingerboard combine to deliver a silky-smooth playing experience with all the precision and control that technical guitarists demand. Comfortable offset design The PRS Tekton’s Mahogany body sports a sleek, subtly offset shape inspired by both the Vela and flagship Custom models. PRS has slimmed things down to reduce weight and cut a deep lower horn scoop that makes reaching the highest frets an absolute doddle. Topped with beautifully figured Mango and finished with PRS’s signature shallow violin carve, it looks every bit as refined as it feels in your hands. PRS Stylus pickups: clarity without compromise Powering the Tekton is a set of PRS Stylus humbuckers, developed specifically for this family of guitars. Loaded with Alnico V magnets, they’re voiced to sound aggressive but with exceptional note separation, serving up crystal-clear tones whether you’re running pristine cleans or saturated high-gain distortion through a valve amp or modern modeller. They’re by no means flat-response pickups, but they do have a slightly flatter EQ curve and lower output than other PRS humbuckers. That’s so they retain plenty of character while catering more to digital amp setups. Better still, every pickup position (including the split-coil sounds) has been carefully tuned, giving you a flexible palette of genuinely useful tones. Built for boundary-pushing players The Tekton Hardtail’s fixed bridge and lightweight locking machine heads keep your tuning rock solid and maximise resonance for a direct, responsive feel under your fingers. Named after the ancient Greek word for artisan or builder, the Tekton reflects PRS’s killer blend of premium craftsmanship and modern innovation. It’s the perfect electric guitar for players constantly refining their technique, chasing new sounds and looking ahead to what’s next.Key Features Contemporary offset body design: A hybrid of PRS’s Vela and Custom shapes, but on a diet!
