What is your favorite Prince guitar?

I'd have to say the Cloud. Classic Prince, hope to see more of it soon.

The Hohner most definately. Although, that gold symbol guitar rocks. The cloud is too airy for me.

I've never been much of a cloud fan. I'd go for the Hohner definately. That is classic Prince IMO.

I also really liked the stratocaster he used on the Musicology tour for "The Question Of U - The One". It didn't particularly look cool, but I loved the whammy stuff he did with it. Check out the video clip @ NPGMC. Great stuff cool

I can't say the Hohner is purely indicative of Prince, because so many other artists use a very similar guitar.

I would personally say the White Cloud from Purple Rain. It is the moment the guitar was first introduced to the general public and the moment in the film, and essentially in real-life, when Prince becomes a global pop-star.

I don't remember which guitar Prince played at the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies for "While my Guitar..."..
That being said, I realized that I've never seen Prince with a Les Paul, or an Ovation acoustic. I'd be curious as to why he doesn't like either..
