PRS Guitars Announces Kanami Limited Edition Custom 24-08
(STEVENSVILLE, Md.) November 19, 2024 â PRS Guitars today announced the Kanami Limited Edition Custom 24-08. This is the first signature model for guitarist Kanami Tono of Japanâs hard-rock band: BAND-MAID. Kanami is BAND-MAIDâs lead guitarist and has been playing PRS for more than a decade. This limited edition is based off her most recent PRS Custom 24-08 guitar but, most notably, boasts PRSâs 85/15 humbuckers and PRS Brushstroke birds.
âPRS has always been an essential part of BAND-MAIDâs sound ever since I started playing the Custom 24,â said Kanami Tono. âWhen thinking about the specs of my 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, 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!â
The PRS Kanami Limited Edition was soft launched at this weekendâs PRS Guitars & American Vintage Guitar Show in Shibuya, Tokyo. Only 200 of these instruments will be made. Each guitar is hand-signed by Kanami on the guitarâs backplate.
