anyone got info on Prince's new quitar

i just saw Prince in concert and he had a new Fender guitar. i was wondering if anyone has any information about it. All i know was that it was a light blue Fender, had what looked to be a Floyd Rose tremo, and 2 EMG humbucking pickups. i've been asking people in another fan forum but haven't gotten any real solid answers.

There was a long overblown discussion of it on this site, when he whupped it out about 3 months ago. Since search ain't working, you'll be hard pressed to locate the info. Check over in the musicians section here - they'll know.

He bought it on Tokyo November 24-25th 2002.

and he didn't WHUP it out 3 months ago, try 13 months ago.

From the post - http://www.prince.org/msg/12/29130

He told us he went shopping for guitars in Tokyo on his 4 days off and he showed us his 4 new guitars .
One was an orange Fender 4 string bass with white scratchplate, that was the one that had the problem.
Another bass - this one is totally clear, you can see right through it ! It has a small handle on it like his Awhite Auserwald? guitar from the Nude tour. Very cool bass.
Another was a very small guitar, it was so small, it was dark purple and in the shape of a heart.
I have seen it around before in guitar stores... It was probably about 40/45cm long...
And here is the cool thing, he also bought this aqua Fender Strat and told us that Sonny T had the exact same guitar when they used to jam together when they were 14 years old...
He said he had to buy it "just for the memories alone".
I just thought it was a really cool story.
Then he played it and said - "They dont play so well... but I just like the look of them"
Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now!
