Only 18 of each color are coming to Canada, with just 500 of each available worldwide, making the Silver Sky Defender one of the most collectible Silver Sky releases to date.
The PRS Silver Sky Defender Limited Edition brings together two of John Mayer’s passions, pairing the Silver Sky with four heritage Land Rover Defender-inspired finishes: Arles Blue, Willow Green, Portofino Red, and Sandglow Yellow.
Inspired by Mayer’s own vintage Arles Blue Land Rover Defender, each guitar features a matching painted headstock and a unique neck plate inscribed with its color name and “1 of 500.”
Underneath the exclusive colors is the Silver Sky players know: developed by John Mayer and PRS around the sound, feel, and response of the vintage guitars that inspired it, refined through PRS design and craftsmanship.
Each Silver Sky Defender includes a PRS ATA molded case with a custom “DEFENDER” badge.

What our collectors say.
"Blaise spent an hour with me in the gallery before I even thought about buying. No pressure, just passion. I ended up leaving with the perfect guitar."
"The whole experience felt completely different from any guitar store I've been to. It felt like a private gallery."
"I traded in two guitars towards a PRS Private Stock and the whole process was handled perfectly. Fast, fair, and totally transparent."
"Bought my first boutique guitar through The Vibrato Bar. The attention to detail from the setup, the packaging and the follow-up was all exceptional."
