For All the Guitarists Out There

Hello all let me try and clear the air on Princes Hohner guitar.....it is in fact a Hohner guitar and it was a fender rip off.....Prince has since put Kinman pickups in it.....yes Hohner ran off two different styles of it the first one called Hohner TE "The Prince".....Prince sued them over the naming of the guitar which then became known as the Hohner TE "Prinz" which is just Prince in German and that became the second run of them.....of course with each one becoming more and more crappy.....

Now to bring this all up to date I have it on extremely good authority that Hohner and Prince as well as Prince's guitar tech are working on an actual signature model that will be making its debut at winter NAMM 2008 I will keep you posted and when I go to NAMM next year I will bring back pics for you all

So he sued them twenty years ago and now they´re collaborating ? Good news...the Hohner has become one of his trademark guitars over the years and it´s about time they came out with an official remake of that model.
So if they named it "The Prince" and later on "Prinz", which name did the guitar originally have ? Or was it just called TE-Madcat ..? See also Prettymanson´s very interesting thread about the Hohner guitar.
