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, 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 PRS ATA multi-fit molded case.

"PRS has always been an essential part of BAND-MAID's sound ever since I started playing the Custom 24. When thinking about the specs of my… read more signature model, the control layout of the Custom 24-08 was the best choice as a base, because many BAND-MAID songs require the high E note on the 24th fret, and I often switch between humbucker and single-coil sounds. As for the color finish, I chose Trampas Green Burst. This is the color of my first PRS I bought when I decided to become a professional guitarist with BAND-MAID. One of my dreams to have my own signature model has come true here, and I would say this guitar is an extension of my first PRS. What an honor it is!" - KANAMI // BAND-MAID

This limited edition is hand-signed by Kanami on the guitar's backplate. Only 200 of the PRS Kanami Limited Edition will be made.
