If you watch the video, there's somebody squatting behind a speaker, waiting for him to throw it. What a rubbish job!

I was just pleased to see it come back down this time - I couldn't see it in the RnR video or the Vanguard.

For the record: If he ever wants to make more Hohner babies, The Mistress is available to be a surrogate mother. It is The Sexy, ya'unnastand.

I like that he is so attached to the guitar -- not to mention the sound quality.

You know i was 5-10 feet from the Honer for an hour and 45 miutes @ the Tamar/Prince show @ the Fillmore in San Francisco a few weeks ago. I was looking closely at it. It's in pretty good condition, I couldn't see any damage on it really. It was highly polished and there's some white filler stuff aound the pick-ups that looks like some kind of wear/repair, but otherwise... IT looked as good as ever.

I have been giving alot of thought to this dude lately.

Prince's guitar techy. That poor bastard. Can you imagine the stress? Prince throws you his guitar. I wonder if any have ever been dropped. I wonder if that comes out of someones pay. I wonder if prince throws his prized guitars or just copies.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

Well, Prince has at least two of these guitars (possibly more).
Check the picture in the centre of the Nude tour program.

but my point was a number of the same guitar always starts with the first. The first often holds deep meaning to the owner. I have to assume therefore these are not of the guitars thrown.

Prince undoubtedly has many replicas of the Hohner made up. It's pretty common in the rock world. Just ask BB King how many Lucille's he's got. It was upwards of 30, I believe. And, since Prince is known for mistreating his instruments (I've seen him slam down the symbol guitars a couple of times), I'm sure his guitar tech is constantly busy re-building those things.
