The Spirit of Expedition & Heritage Performance
The Guitar Sanctuary is thrilled to present the PRS Silver Sky Defender in Sandglow Yellow. Inspired by desert dust, distant horizons, and the iconic Camel Trophy expedition events that defined Land Rover for a generation, this finish brings a distinctive, adventurous spirit to John Mayer’s signature USA model.
As part of this exclusive collaboration between Paul Reed Smith, John Mayer, and Land Rover, only 500 Sandglow Yellow instruments exist worldwide. Details include a matching painted headstock, custom Defender-branded neck plate, and a protective PRS ATA molded case with special Defender badging.
⚡ Sanctuary Expert Take: "Sandglow Yellow is undoubtedly the sleeper hit of the collection. It pays direct tribute to true automotive history, and paired with the proprietary 635JM pickups, it delivers a musical, round top-end that never bites or sounds harsh."
