Description
Color has consistently been an essential element of the Silver Sky narrative, and this latest iteration draws its inspiration from a collaboration between PRS and John Mayer that introduces the Defender series of colors.
This collection finds its origin in Mayer’s personal Arles Blue Defender, a shade that proved as striking on a guitar as it appeared on the vehicle that served as its muse. Drawing from that vintage 4x4, a selection of four heritage finishes was curated: Arles Blue, Willow Green, Portofino Red, and Sandglow Yellow. The design language for this collection was further informed by the Defender’s iconic aesthetic, which frequently highlights a vibrant body paired with a contrasting black or white roof.
Production is strictly limited to 500 guitars for each individual color, resulting in a worldwide total of only 2,000 instruments. This aesthetic commitment extends beyond the body, as every guitar showcases a color-matched headstock, a special feature typically reserved for exclusive limited-edition Silver Sky models. To complete the set, each Defender Silver Sky arrives in an ATA molded case adorned with a custom "DEFENDER" badge and includes a dedicated neck plate engraved with both the color name and its "1 of 500" production number.
Beneath these fresh finishes remains the classic Silver Sky that players have come to know. It is an instrument built through a partnership between John Mayer and PRS, meticulously engineered to capture the vintage sound, feel, and response that inspired it, all while benefiting from the precision of PRS design and craftsmanship.
