White Clouds from PP | Received!

My white Cloud pre-ordered long ago from Paisley Park came yesterday. I just now got it and it's resting at home. The rule of thumb, I've been told, is to let a guitar sit for a bit before you unpack it so it adjusts. Whatever.

Here are a couple things to note.

It's sent UPS with a 21+ Signature Required - brace yourself for that. I had to go pick it up at the UPS hub in deep deep Brooklyn.

Comes with a case! Purple inside and out.

It's white and sparkles.

Pics to follow.

Have you gotten yours? Shall we cross reference serial numbers and forum members? Post Pics.

Awesome! Thanks for the update. Did you order yours when the sale first started? I ordered mine in December. So, I'm hoping mine will arrive soon! I'm glad that it needs to be signed for. I was very concerned about it sitting outside of my house until I get home from work. Was the guitar inside the case inside of a box??

Would love to see what the Cloud looks like...how faithful it is to P's original.

Please post pictures, either in this thread or my thread about Cloud guitars.

Peace and B Wild

Pre-ordered late, but paid my balance invoice within minutes of receiving it.

In a case, wrapped in foam, in a box, in another box.

Will post when I get home.

Perfect. That's what I was hoping with the packaging. Plug it in and give us your review!

It's Beautiful. I haven't given it much of a physical spin so consider this a initial impression.


It's SMALL. Like dinky. Since the original was custom made to, ahem, His scale, that's no surprise.

Made in Korea. They make fine guitars. Top to bottom, it's a good looking piece.

It does have the feeling of a gift shop item. Having never seen previous generations of these, I cannot say how faithful it is or what corners have been cut.

What I'll do is post some initial unboxing snaps and collect my thoughts.

Did anyone receive a tracking code or any idea of when it would arrive, upon placing payment? Or were you blindly waiting for it to arrive? Thanks!

There were no tracking numbers given. But, it's shipped through UPS. If you have a "UPS MyChoice" membership (free), you can see the tracking information on any package being shipped to your address via UPS. That's how I was able to track it. cool
