{"product_id":"prs-tekton-black-tourmaline","title":"PRS Tekton Black Tourmaline","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PRS Tekton is the hardtail in PRS’s new Tekton family, a from-scratch modern platform aimed at players who live above the 12th fret. A 25.5” scale, a 16” fretboard radius, stainless steel frets, and the thinnest body and neck PRS has put into standard production add up to a guitar that gets out of the way. This one is finished in Black Tourmaline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body pairs a figured mango top with a mahogany back under a shallow violin carve. Mango is an unusual choice for a top wood and the figure moves in a way flame maple doesn’t, which is a big part of why the Tekton looks like nothing else in the PRS line. An exaggerated scoop at the upper horn opens up the top frets, and a belly carve keeps it comfortable sitting or standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maple neck is scarf-jointed and carved to a Modern “D” profile: thin, but with enough shoulder that it doesn’t feel like a stick. Hormigo strength rods run through it — the same idea as the carbon rods PRS uses in its acoustics — adding stability and rigidity, which also does good things for how the guitar resonates. The ebony fingerboard carries a new-for-PRS offset dot inlay and Luminlay side dots so you can find your place on a dark stage. String spacing matches the PRS Silver Sky and Fiore — a touch wider than PRS’s traditional spacing, which helps with sweeping and gives the picking hand more room to be precise. Stainless steel frets, PRS Jumbo size, on a 16” radius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePRS voiced the Stylus pickups specifically for this family. They’re aggressive but clear, with a flatter output than most PRS humbuckers — deliberately, so they behave through digital rigs and modelers as well as they do into a tube amp. Alnico 5 magnets, and lower output than a lot of pickups aimed at this genre, which is where the note definition comes from. Every position is usable: humbucking or split, alone or together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PRS Hardtail bridge uses individual saddles for accurate intonation and a string-through design that adds sustain. PRS Phase III locking tuners, smoked black hardware throughout, high-gloss nitro on the body and satin nitro on the neck. Ships with a PRS Premium Gig Bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTekton is the Ancient Greek word for craftsman or builder — specifically a woodworker. Stylus is an instrument for writing. PRS picked both on purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigured mango top over mahogany in Black Tourmaline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel PRS Jumbo frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25.5” scale, 16” radius, ebony fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinnest body and neck PRS has built in standard production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePRS Stylus pickups, voiced for tube amps and digital rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePRS Hardtail bridge with Phase III locking tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePRS Premium Gig Bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBody\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Construction: Solidbody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Wood: Figured Mango\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Wood: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Carve: Shallow Violin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black Tourmaline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNeck\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: Scarfed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Modern “D”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Wire: PRS Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Wire Material: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth of Fret Crown: .110”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight of Fret Crown: .055”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: PRS Double-Acting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Depth at the 1\/2 Fret: 49\/64”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Depth at the 12 1\/2 Fret: 27\/32”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Width at the Nut: 1 11\/16”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Width at the Body: 2 1\/4”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Wood: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius: 16”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlay: Offset Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock Logo: Signature, Inlaid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck\/Body Assembly: Bolt-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFinish\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Type: High-Gloss Nitro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish Type: Satin Nitro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Black Tourmaline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHardware\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: PRS Hardtail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: PRS Phase III Locking Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Type: Smoked Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: PRS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Cover: Tekton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: PRS Premium Gig Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eElectronics\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreble Pickup: PRS Stylus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Pickup: PRS Stylus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Volume and Push\/Pull Tone Control with 3-Way Blade Pickup Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: PRS Tekton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: PRS Signature, 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning: Standard (6-String): E, A, D, G, B, E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy from Tone Shop Guitars?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Tone Shop Guitars, we specialize in hand-selected premium and Custom Shop instruments built for serious players and collectors.
