Prince's Guitars

What guitars has Prince played over the years??

This has probably been asked a 1000 times, but I only really took intrest in guitars recently. My fave has to be the symbol one, but I like the look of the one that apollonia buys him in Purple Rain.

When he plays live he usualy uses the symbol guitar, or the cloud guitar (White one in purple rain) but when he records i suspect he uses a Telecaster (The one he used at the brits and on the Aladdin DVD)

It is Prince's own custom guitar. just called the "Cloud Guitar" u can probably have one made, but it would cost a few $$$

Every Taylor I've ever played was very very sweet!

Don't think I've tried a '5' though
