Did the PRS Tekton rip off Serenghetti Guitars? 🤔

[RockMan82]

I have been checking out the new Tekton model from PRS and it looks like a brand I know that created this body shape 20 years ago. It looks like PRS merely rounded the horns off and brought in the top bevel carve just a bit. Fret markers are suspect, too. There's differences in construction between the two, but it is clear where the inspiration came from if you look at the two guitars. Most substantial difference is that Serenghetti Guitars are one piece guitars that are hand carved to order from one single slab of wood by a master luthier.

Apparently PRS ripped off Serenghetti who ripped off Driskell:

Is that 'ghetti a bolt on neck too? Seems like everyone is ripping off Fender these days. Unreal.

No, it's a solid one piece guitar carved from one slab of wood. Maple usually. Serenghetti does offer neck thru and bolt on models on their website.

I dunno, man. I don't see it. I definitely do with that Tekton, though.

The horns on the 'ghetti seem quite a bit different. Thinner and longer. More angular. A lot uglier IMO. It looks like a shred guitar for the law offices of Chugga & Chugga.
