PRS Guitars collaborated with Land Rover and John Mayer in September 2026 to launch a limited-edition series of instruments. The collection incorporates design elements from the iconic SUV brand, including Defender-branded neck plates on all units.
Why it matters
This partnership merges automotive design with musical performance to reflect the specific character of Defender vehicles. The collaboration highlights a niche market where automotive branding influences high-end consumer gear.
The collection includes eight models, with production capped at 500 units per colour for US-made versions. Pre-orders are open now for all models, while SE Silver Sky orders remain active through mid-2027.

The details
The instruments were developed through a partnership between PRS Guitars, Land Rover, and John Mayer to integrate design components from Defender configurations into guitar builds. US-made Silver Sky guitars come in four classic Defender colours, while the SE Silver Sky line features four contemporary shades. A subset of British Racing Green guitars is also being produced specifically for charity fundraising purposes.
Timeline

The Home Front
This collaboration reflects a broader trend of luxury automotive brands extending their design identity into curated consumer goods and hobbyist equipment. It mirrors the strategy of aligning high-value vehicle branding with exclusive, limited-production lifestyle products.
If you are interested in acquiring one of these limited-edition pieces, you can currently place pre-orders through any authorised PRS dealer. Keep in mind that orders for the SE Silver Sky models are set to close in mid-2027.
The takeaway
This partnership highlights how automotive design influences consumer goods, creating unique crossover collectibles for enthusiasts. Prospective buyers should contact a local authorised dealer to verify the availability of specific colours before the order window closes in mid-2027.
