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 $$$ | |

BTW Telecasters are fucking gorgeous!! Prince has always prefered these, and i know why! The sound is unbelievable! They look very simple but that is the attraction! 
my next guitar is a Fender Telecatser  | |

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