prince's guitar sound then or now???

which sound of his you dig?
early natural sound fropm the dirty mind controversy tour up to 1983 ,

Co-sign on the PR-Lovesexy era.

P always sounds great but I like the dirty tones he got with the Boogie Amps and the Boss pedals and the Cloud Guitar.

I'm probably the weirdo opinion but I like his playing better without the vibrato bar. His natural vibrato and note selections and phrasing make the difference.

His clean tones with the Hohner always sound good. I never get tired of hearing him play funky rhythm guitar.

the sound is always different, different styles of music = different guitar sounds. Obviously he uses a particular guitar for a different sound he's looking for.
