The PRS Kanami Limited Edition is the first signature model for Kanami Tono of Japan’s hard-rock band: Band-Maid. Kanami is Band-Maid’s lead guitarist and has been playing PRS for more than a decade.
This limited edition is based on her most recent PRS Custom 24-08 guitar but, most notably, boasts PRS’s 85/15 humbuckers and PRS Brushstroke birds. PRS 85/15 pickups offer exceptional clarity with a full range of tones. The two mini-toggle coil-tap switches allow for powerful humbucking and crisp single-coil sounds in one instrument…a must when playing leads in hard rock and metal. More of Kanami’s personal appointment choices include a quilted maple top, an ebony fretboard with Brushstroke Bird inlays, and smoked black hardware. Kanami also chose the visually striking stain color: Trampas Green Smokeburst. Ready to travel to any gig, the PRS Kanami Limited Edition ships in the new PRS ATA multi-fit molded case.
This limited edition is hand-signed by Kanami on the guitar’s backplate. Only 200 of the PRS Kanami Limited Edition will be made.
