The PRS SE John Mayer Silver Sky has topped this year's top-selling electric guitars list on Reverb, with the original, US version still sitting pretty at number four in the rankings.
Elsewhere, it's another relative tour-de-force for Fender's Mexican-made Player models; last year's number one seller Player Telecaster slipped down to five, with the Player Strat remaining at number two for a second year. It's joined by the US-made Fender American Professional II at number three.
As we move further down, there's more votes of confidence for US-made guitars with Gibson staples. But value remains an attractive proposition with numerous higher end and entry-level Squier models.

Squier reveals the strength of its diverse catalogue in the top-selling guitars released in 2022. While the PRS SE Silver Sky understandably takes the top spot, it's interesting to see the Squier Classic Vibe Baritone Custom Telecaster in at number two.
The demand for the unusual continues with Fender's bold Player Plus Meteora HH and Yamaha's hugely underatted and mid-priced Revstar II models taking two places in the top 10.
Polyphia's Tim Henson continues his successful 2022 with his Ibanez TOD10N – a mid-priced nylon-string electro acoustic guitar that's only recently been released but has still gone in at number five here.
