***PREORDER*** Paul Reed Smith Silver Sky Defender - Willow Green ***PREORDER***

When legendary guitar craftsmanship meets vintage British 4x4 heritage, an absolute masterpiece is born. The PRS Silver Sky Defender Limited Edition celebrates a powerhouse collaboration between Paul Reed Smith and signature artist John Mayer. Underneath the striking aesthetic is the iconic Silver Sky foundation: a resonant, solid alder body coupled with a bolt-on maple neck that delivers the quintessential blend of warm organic sustain, mid-range punch, and snappy response. Finished in high-gloss nitro Willow Green—a nostalgic nod to the muddy lanes, stone walls, and rolling countryside where the Defender earned its legendary reputation—this edition pairs its vibrant body with a matching painted headstock for a stunningly cohesive look.

The soul of this guitar lies in its trio of custom-voiced PRS 635JM single-coil pickups. Specifically engineered to evoke the lush, musical warmth of prized vintage single-coils, these pickups offer round, full-bodied lows and pristine, glassy highs without any harshness. Designed in tandem with John Mayer, the 635 JM-R neck profile, traditional 7.25" fretboard radius, rosewood fingerboard, and classic small bird inlays deliver an unmatched playing feel that honors classic guitar design while pushing modern craftsmanship forward.
