tele's r cool which makes u ponder y he chose a hohner instead of a fender in the 1st place

I love him playing the Ibanez jazz guitar. I have a similar one (Ibanez AF125 artcore custom). I read somewhere that Prince's is actually the George Benson signature model.

I read somewhere, so I'm not sure if this is true, that he found his 1st Hohner Tele in a pawn shop and liked how it sounded and has been playing them ever since.

The funny thing is he's been playing these Hohner tele's for years, but doesn't actually endorse them. Hohner calls their tele the "Artist" guitar.

Schecter Guitars made a copy of the Cloud model, and it was for sale on the old NPG website.

something about the symbol on the frets throughs me off on the cloud versions that were offered

All this talk of guitars makes me wish he did MTV Unplugged. I would love to see Prince Unplugged... Acoustic if possible..

Same here: I got my wish during the Musicology tour.

funkylust said:

That (sort of) happened already. MTV had a special called "Art of Musicology" or something like that, and Prince played some songs on acoustic guitar and did an interview with Sway.

DerekH said:

Really I never saw nor heard of that. What was the set list? Where was it? I guess I wasn't talking about an acoustic section of a major stadium show like during the Musicology tour. I mean I saw him do an acoustic section of his ONA show in London and he did a great acoustic version of 7 and Don't Play Me. It was great! But I guess in a small studio setting, with a specific show with arrangements with an Unplugged vibe or arrangement, without all the synth and electrics... More broken down into a raw acoustic set. I would love it..

More than that I would like it to be a DVD/CD that I could watch over and over. I think my non Prince friends would be impressed to see him in a more relaxed laid back setting too...

HOT HOT HOT! he looks sexy playing with any guitar! All his guitars are beautiful just like him!

Prince did a full acoustic set with acoustic guitar during one night at the xenophobia 7 nights at Paisley park in 2002. it was incredible, you must find a copy. Many people on the org were there. It was one of his best shows ever.

id have to say the symbol guitars the black or purple...the white cloud or the red strat idk people also 4got about the orange strat and the turquoise one

Sexybeast said:

Do you have a set list of what he played? Was it a proper set of acoustic or a big medley..?

i like the love symbol guitar
and the yellow cloud guitar
i want to re-enact waynes world and stand outside its windows and say ''it will be mine..oh yes..it will be mine'''
and the voice of reason calmly saying ''...no it won't''

funkylust said:

it was a full acoustic set that was about a hour long with prince on acoustic and kirky j on percussion on a few tracks

here r the details of that day's events http://prince.org/feature.html?id=17997

He can make ANY guitar look & sound like a tub of caramel chew chew

probably for the strict/sole reason of being different or out of the norm. That's how he rolled.

NOW I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ONE IN CRIMSON COLOUR (crimson and clover )
