Distinctive Detail - The PRS Silver Sky Defender Limited Edition Guitar in Arles Blue
The world’s most recognizable guitars are defined by more than tone. Their shape and colors can be just as enduring as their sound. For generations, guitar makers and players have looked to the road for colors that give instruments character and identity. For this limited-edition Silver Sky, that tradition gets personal. This colorway started with Mayer’s own Arles Blue Defender – a color that felt just as compelling on a guitar as it did on the vehicle that inspired it. From Mayer’s vintage 4x4, a palette of four heritage finishes were chosen: Arles Blue, Willow Green, Portofino Red, and Sandglow Yellow. Some of Defender’s most memorable colorways pair vibrant body colors with a contrasting black or white roof. That signature use of contrast also helped shape the design language of the Defender Color Collection.
This run is limited to just 500 guitars in each color and 2,000 total worldwide, and the color doesn’t stop at the body. Each instrument boasts a matching painted headstock – a distinctive detail reserved for select limited-edition Silver Sky models. Each Silver Sky Defender also comes in an ATA molded case with a custom “DEFENDER” badge and features a unique neck plate inscribed with its color name and “1 of 500,” marking its place in this limited run. Underneath these new colors is the Silver Sky players know: an instrument 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. Color has always been part of the Silver Sky story. This time, the inspiration was parked a little closer to home.
