PRS Guitars has partnered with AMC Global Media’s Sentai and HIDIVE to bring Rock is a Lady’s Modesty to life with the release of the 2026 SE Rock Lady Limited Edition guitar.
This collaboration between the coming-of-age anime drama series and the established guitar manufacturer offers fans a chance to experience and recreate the intense rock music featured in last year’s hit anime adaptation of the manga series written and illustrated by Hiroshi Fukuda.
Based on both the PRS SE Paul’s Guitar model and PRS Artist KANAMI’s (of Japanese rock band BAND-MAID) Limited Edition Custom 24-08, the 2026 SE Rock Lady Limited Edition is inspired by the guitar used by the series’ main character Lilisa Suzunomiya (“Lily”) and prominently featured in Rock is a Lady’s Modesty. The guitar is limited to just 690 units and is now available from major PRS Guitars retailers in North America and select international markets, including Japan. Full instrument details are available on 2026 SE Rock Lady Limited Edition product page on the PRS Guitars official website.
“This project has been one of the most creative, out-of-the-box things we have done in a while. Developing a guitar with a fictional artist is not something we do every day. It has been a lot of fun, but this is far more than a commemorative display piece – it’s a true player’s guitar, designed for performance and durability. Ultimately, it’s a musical instrument that is made to be played,” said PRS Guitars COO, Jack Higginbotham.
Visually, the 2026 SE Rock Lady Limited Edition was designed to replicate Lily’s guitar as close as possible, with a Pink Pearl top, black headstock face, natural back, and purple-toned pickup bobbins. One notable difference is the inclusion of PRS’ trademark bird inlays. Finally, there is a line-drawing of a lily on the truss rod cover as a nod to the show and a unique finishing detail.
The TCI “S” treble and bass pickups deliver a wide array of tones from spanky single coils to full soapbar sounds. These pickups are paired with a 3-way toggle pickup selector and two mini-toggle switches. The mini-toggles allow you to coil-tap the pickups independently, giving players a total of eight pickup combinations. Anchoring this guitar is the PRS Stoptail bridge, which features specially curved string slots with brass inserts to ensure optimal contact for the string, yielding a powerful and resonant instrument.
Rock is a Lady’s Modesty opening theme “Ready to Rock” was written by KANAMI and performed by BAND-MAID. Both she and her band mates provided motion capture for the anime production to create the highly realistic and dynamic concert performances praised by both fans and critics alike. The series was directed by Shinya Watada together with writing by Shogo Yasukawa, character design by Risa Miyadani and production by BN Pictures.
“When I wrote the opening theme ‘Ready to Rock,’ I wanted it to feel like the moment you decide to step onto the stage and let everything out. It’s exciting to see that energy carried into a real PRS guitar inspired by Lily’s instrument, and I hope players and fans can plug in, turn it up, and experience the world of Rock is a Lady’s Modesty for themselves,” said KANAMI.
The PRS 2026 SE Rock Lady Limited Edition guitar carries a street price of $999. For more information visit www.prsguitars.com.
