How many times has Prince thrown a guitar? And how many times have they broken?
A Rough guess? "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

He's always thrown his guitar, but someone who works for him always catches it. | |

No one caught it at the Webby Awards! 
It was a couple of other times I saw him throw his guitars and they ate the stage! [Edited 9/4/07 17:49pm] surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |

He always, always, always throws it, sometimes, it is caught, others, it smacks the floor. I flinch every time...even though it is pretty cool, I must admit. | |

If I had to guess?  Probably thrown 1,048 times. Broke only 7. But don't quote me on that.
What do I win? Shake it til ya make it  | |

Thank you PurpleCharm. omg 
If nobody was there 2 catch it... he must not have liked that guitar very much. 
I just thought that he treasured his guitars cuz they help him write those beautiful songs of his... just can't think of him breaking them by being so careless (or he was just in a rush 2 get outta there)... I figured he'd think of his guitars as precious instruments... but what do  know?had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

what about his Hohner telecastor?
i've seen him throw it down to the floor several times but it still seems OK now.. is it made just so strong? or somebody fix it everytime?? somebody tell me.. i am so curious... Sometimes It Snows in April... | |

It does have scratches on it... You know what my favorite tossing moment is? When he and Sheila were at the naacp awards last year or maybe in 05. First Sheila knocks over the cymbals on her drums and throws her sticks at them, then Prince throws his guitar out in front of himself. I loved that. | |

A few times I saw him do it I swear it is caught by a hook or something and lifted UP into air. | |

I was just gonna mention that.....While watching the dvd, I was admiring what a beautiful instrument he was playing and then he just turned around and threw it and it slid down the floor to the back of the stage and I totally flinched....like "NOOOOOooooo!" | |
