PRS Tekton T Bloodstone Red

The PRS Tekton T is the two-point tremolo version of PRS’s Tekton platform, finished in Bloodstone Red. Same modern foundation as the rest of the family — 25.5” scale, 16” radius, stainless steel frets, thin “D” neck — with a vibrato system built for players who want to bend pitch without babysitting their tuning.

The figured mango top over a mahogany back is what most people notice first. It’s a departure from the maple tops PRS built its name on, with figure that reads differently under stage light, and the shallow violin carve and offset body give it a silhouette that still scans as PRS from across the room.

The 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.

PRS 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.

The PRS two-point tremolo has a steel plate and brass saddles, and it can be set flush or floated depending on how you like to work. PRS Phase III locking tuners, smoked black hardware, high-gloss nitro finish with a satin nitro neck. Ships with a PRS Premium Gig Bag.

Tekton is the Ancient Greek word for craftsman or builder — specifically a woodworker. Stylus is an instrument for writing. PRS picked both on purpose.
