Prince's Weapons of choice.

This 1 goes out 2 all the Guitar buffs out there.

Now! I know P's go 2 guitar is the Fender Telecaster & he's started playin with a Stratocaster as well.

I'm not interested in his customs. The 1 I am interested in is the white Gibson
semi accoustic he pulls out every now & then.

Can any1 tell me what the model is. The gibson websites no help because I don't think it's in production anymore.

Your help is much appreciated! cool

His Telecaster is actually a Hohner, not a Fender. The Fender design was copied by Hohner.

Essentially it's a Fender knock-off, but an official one (if that makes sense).

Do you have any pictures of the one you're looking for? Or can you reference a video/performance where he plays it?
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

The Ibanez George Benson is a killer guitar, from what I've heard. As often happens with signature models, the early releases are rumored to be the better ones...
