are they really his????

oh man if they are
i envy the people that end up with one in their hands

Those aren't his. His guitar have dots on the neck, not the pre-symbol symbol.

The Blue one has a statement "Couldhave been owned and played by Prince" So make you mind up on that one !! For 10 thousand dollars I think I will leave it

Wait a minute! $10,000?!?!0? Someone's getting screwed!

Really? Could be, don't know. Is still don't think those are his, because I'm sure he keeps all his guitars.

I am not arguing the ownership as I agree with you - Although, I wouldnt make the statement that Paisley park have given a Certificate of proof if they hadnt - Dont you think???
(Check the Yellow One)

Not meant as a malicious comment ( I just read this back and it sounded it!!)

Also, Check the D&P Tourbook for a Piccie of Prince with a Cloud with the same symbols on. I also have a pic of P playing a Blue Cloud with the symbol fret markers

lol yeah I guess they just photoshopped the magazine so that it has the symbols on the neck too! j/k

I'd put my money down that these were the real deal.
Considering that its a Christian charity fron MPLS that is auctioning them.

Yeeeees...

i never saw who the seller was
great point

i want one

You got $10,000 + you can have one.....lol.....

Sad really as a non fan will probably win them and then sell them for an even more exploitive amount to a fan...!!!!! lol.....

Perhaps this might spark another "is Prince gonna retire" Thread, as he obviously is getting shut of his equipment.....LMAO !!!!!

carlpenn said:

the guy winning the 10gran bid looks like a none fan
infact it looks like a store that sells music memerobilia

I don't know if they're his or not but for $10,000, Prince would have to hand deliver it to me!!

It does seem to be his guitars. You have to read the info to understand.

Moreover check out the sellers name and the sellers other items.

It would seem to be some church, ethemmm, orginazation that takes items of "pre ordained church lifestyle" and then sells them for a church profit.

That's just sad if it is what it says it is.

That "church" doesn't seem to be an JW church.

What type of crap is that?


Now you see why all churches are the same in my book.

Is this the same one who was selling his old bathtub?

I think Prince does occasionally give his guitars away, and certainly those 2 look authentic. However it is always a case of buyer beware, since some people try to sell replicas as originals.

Not the same guitar as in the magazine as is being claimed by the seller.

Different headstock amongst other changes.

-

Its says the only other one is in the Smithsonian. But there is another in Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studios Hollywood. Unless this is that one???

DID ANYONE NOTICE THIS ON THE auction????




someone needs call it and ask for PRINCE!!!


Bwahahahahaaa...

youngyosh said:

Do they actually say it is the same guitar as in the magazine?

It definitely is NOT a Schecter Copy as the headstock is actually the right shape (schecter Clouds have a stubbier headstock with a shorter pointy bit)So I would say it is a real Cloud to some degree - Plus the Schecters dont have the markers on the Thumb Side of the Neck - If it is not a legit Prince Owned item, then I must say it is damn good copy and looks better than the Schecters !!

Young Yosh pointed out that the Truss Rod covers are different. That really isnt significant enough though as it is not a major oart of the giutar.....Perhaps we should wake leon up and ask him what he thinks ????

Jesus are we sad or what?????

Common, someone has to have called it.


Call it and ask how the 3121 tour guitars are comming along or some shit like that.

Notice that Spin magazine header speaks if Prince can still cut it? Even then folks was debating if he was over.

the pick up selector switch is different on the yellow one its only a small difference but for several thousand $$

So, could this be the guitar on which he played that kick ass solo at Bargley's Warehouse during "House in order" in 1993? That was a yellow cloud guitar. I dunno, I still can't quite see Prince giving his guitars away...

MickG said:

called... dead number

Do they actually say it is the same guitar as in the magazine?

It does say in the Ebay ad...

"Also included is the SPIN magazine with Prince on the cover posing with this Yellow Cloud guitar"

Jesus are we sad or what?

Both these auctions have been taken down by Ebay - guess that answers the question lol
