Prince doesn't play a Telecaster! That's a Hohner - a Telecaster impersonator.

My favorites are:

1. Hohner
2. Symbol
3. Cloud (any color, but especially white)
4. Stratocaster
5. Takamine (the acoustic he played on Musicology tour)

It's ok to call it a Telecaster, as long as you don't call it a Fender Telecaster. smile

What are the criteria? Looks? Sound? Guitars he uses for my favorite songs/solos? My list is based on a little of all those...

    1.The Blue Angel bow love

    Prince on the Lovesexy tour - Westfalenhalle, Dortmund (9th, September 1988...

    © 1988 Pierre G


    2. from Forever in My Life in the SOTT movie

    Screencap from the Sign 'O' The Times movie (1987)


    3. from the America video

    America video shoot - Nice, France (27th October, 1985)

    (is this the same one Miko played in Mountains video--or was that one white?)

    4. The Hohner

    Controversy Tour (1981)


    5. the other clouds: white, peach, dark blue, black, yellow last
    6. the prince : Habibi first, then black, white, gold
    7. the fender stratocasters he's had lately: baby blue first, then Ice Cream (orange)
    8. the model C (don't really like that one at all)



btw, "you know you're a Prince fan when you are a girl who knew NOTHING about guitars but now know several makes & models by heart as well as what a fret board, whammy bar, etc are." lol

It should be made easily available for the little people.

Those are the model C's. (From the Grafitti Bridge/Nude tour era, I think.)

That's the name/make of the guitar: Auerswald Model C. (Auerswald is the company that makes them--like "Fender" or "Schecter.") That's all I know about the Model C's, though. smile

I didn't forget them---the Model C was last on my list because I actually don't like the way it sounds. razz





Here's some pics swiped from a recent "guitar" photo thread-- just for you. wink





.pic edit.

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
