The Cloud Guitar???

Just wondering if anyone has purchased the Schecter Cloud Guitar from the NPGMC or eBay ???

Being a guitarist AND a Prince fan, i wanna know how this copy of the Cloud plays, the quality of the pickups, the action, etc.

I LOVE this guitar, and am considering coughing up the $$$...

Thanks

Hey Derek

I have 2 of these myself. They are both beautiful guitars ( blue and white ). They play pretty well. I would rate them an 8/10 as far as playability. They are just a little top heavy because of the horn. The pickups are pretty good also. You can get some pretty good clean sounds. The distortion does feedback at a loud volume. Most pickups do unless you have EMG's, but at moderate volumes, they sound good.

I mostly enjoy them sitting in their stands. They look fantastic. I wouldn't consider them great guitars, but they are good. If you want this as your main guitar,you may want to think about it or find a really good deal. If you want to occasionally play it but let it decor you room, it is really nice to have.

I hope this helps.

Take care,

Cooldaddee

What kind of pickups came with it/them? And what type of wood is the body made of? Just curious.

I almost had a guy in town(Minneapolis) make me one of these.
He actually had the pattern. He wouldn't let me get a copy, of course. He told me that Prince's Clouds have a very narrow area for your thumb where the horn and neck come close together, if this matters to you. Do a google search under "Vintage Guitars".
I have seen this guitar for sale used a few times on some sites.
Ebay prices get a little inflated sometimes. People go a little nuts.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
