John Mayer's personal collection of classic British off-roaders has directly inspired this limited run of 500 Silver Sky guitars in Willow Green – one of four heritage Defender colours now applied to PRS's acclaimed bolt-on electric. The palette was drawn from Mayer's own Arles Blue Defender, expanding to include Willow Green, Portofino Red, and Sandglow Yellow. Each guitar carries a painted headstock to match the body finish, a detail reserved for select limited-edition Silver Sky models, plus a custom neck plate engraved with the colour name and "1 of 500" to mark its rarity in this 2,000-piece worldwide production.
The collaboration brings Defender's signature contrast aesthetic to the instrument's design language, honouring the brand's tradition of pairing vibrant body colours with contrasting roof panels. Underneath the Willow Green finish sits the same Silver Sky foundation Mayer and PRS developed around vintage-inspired tone, feel, and response – a bolt-on design refined through PRS construction standards. Each example ships in a custom ATA moulded case bearing a "DEFENDER" badge, protecting the instrument in a package that continues the visual theme. This marks the first time Mayer's automotive passion has crossed into his signature guitar series, translating Land Rover's historic paint catalogue into a functional playing instrument.
