🎸 NEW ARRIVAL ALERT // THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER 🎸

When PRS Guitars's legendary engineering collides with the hyper-energy of Japanese rock culture, you get something truly extraordinary.

Meet the new PRS SE Rock Lady Limited Edition—arriving right here at The Sanctuary this Friday, June 12th! 🌸✨

Only 690 of these instruments exist worldwide for 2026. Born from a unique design synthesis of the acclaimed SE Paul’s Guitar and the Custom 24-08 spec chosen by Kanami Tono (guitarist for the powerhouse band BAND-MAID), this model pays direct tribute to the hit anime 'Rock is a Lady’s Modesty'. It is a stunning, exact replica of the guitar wielded by main character Lilisa "Lily" Suzunomiya.

But don’t let the gorgeous "Pearl Pink" top fool you—underneath the hood, this is a serious session machine built to melt faces:

🔥 Proprietary TCI "S" Treble & Bass pickups tuned for maximum musical clarity.
🎛️ Dual mini-toggle coil-taps paired with a 3-way selector, throwing open a massive palette of 8 distinct tonal combinations.
🎶 Solid mahogany back, multi-ply mahogany neck with a comfortable Wide Fat carve, and a resonant Rosewood board.
💫 Custom signature details: Special purple-toned pickup bobbins, a custom "Lily" line-drawing on the truss rod cover, and iconic PRS trademark Bird inlays.

Whether you are a collector of rare, limited-run PRS history, a die-hard anime fan, or a gigging player who demands total tonal versatility on stage, this is a piece you need to feel in your hands.

📦 Extremely limited stock lands at the shop THIS FRIDAY. Avoid the heartbreak of a missed connection.
