Symbol Guitar site now online Jerry Auerswald from Auerswald Instruments in Germany has put a website about the symbol guitar online.
With this he claims his rights as the one that constructed,designed and built the original golden symbol guitar in 1993! Note! This is about the one and only original symbol guitar,not the copies done by schecter and not about the other copies done by someone else in other colors. The website will have more info and pictures soon so keep in touch www.symbol-guitar.com [Edited 2/11/10 12:01pm] [Edited 2/11/10 12:05pm] | |

What's the site? Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

Thanks for the link.
There were a few design elements I never noticed before, such as the little dip on the head stock (where the point come together) and the doubled-up portion of the curly-Q . .. kinda looks like a yo-yo. Nice craftsmanship. I did think the other one done by Schecter looked a little "thin" in spots compared to this one. Might've been an optical illusion though due to color. |

You are right the original is much more detailed and it is hand crafted.It is made of 80 year old wood that wouldn't break anyway.If you look close you see some vagina styled items all over the instruments...even in the lower horn the is one..  )
Anyway the original has all custom build hardware made by Jerry himself..not that cheap crappy floyd rose tremolo and this other lousy components that schecter uses... | |

excerpt: Built at 24.75 scale length, the original Symbol guitar is an example of outstanding craftsmanship and constructed of the highest quality materials. Its form is instantly synonymous with Prince, or more accurately,
 , the symbol to which Prince legally changed his name from June 7, 1993 through May 16, 2000.
The Symbol guitar is a fantastic example of form combining with function in a new and unique way. The original gold Symbol guitar was built by German luthier Jerry Auerswald. Prince's guitar technicians later made copies in white and black. The American branch of Schecter made subsequent Symbol guitars, including guitars in purple ("Habibi") as well as gold. .
