PRS Tekton SVN Black Tourmaline

PRS Tekton SVN Black Tourmaline

The PRS Tekton SVN is designed for players looking to push beyond traditional boundaries and explore new musical territory. With its lightweight body, ergonomic contours, effortless upper-fret access, and refined neck profile, the Tekton SVN feels comfortable and familiar while opening the door to expanded creative possibilities. Featuring a 26.5” scale length optimized for extended-range performance, this 7-string guitar delivers the clarity, comfort, and precision needed for everything from complex chord voicings and rich harmonic textures to crushing low-register riffs.

At the heart of the Tekton SVN are PRS Stylus SVN pickups, developed specifically for the Tekton family. Voiced for articulation, aggression, and dynamic response, these pickups preserve clarity and character across the entire frequency spectrum. Whether paired with a traditional amplifier, a modern modeling system, or a sophisticated recording setup, the Tekton SVN delivers focused, musical tones that remain defined even under high gain.

The extended 26.5” scale length provides enhanced string tension and greater low-end clarity while maintaining a responsive feel across the ebony fingerboard. Combined with stainless steel frets, a 16” fretboard radius, and the Tekton family’s performance-focused specifications, the result is a 7-string guitar built for technical precision, expressive lead playing, and evolving musical ideas.

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.
