Even then though, the cloud and symbol used the EMG combo that he likes. And if you know anything about guitars, the sound that he gets with the EMGs and the sound that he would get out of the lipstick pickups in that thing are on completely different spectrums. The only thing that he could really use it for would be clean sounds, in which case he already has the Tele and the Benson sig. Sound wise, this guitar would be a no-no for Prince.


On the subject of the pickups..There were no specs presented for this guitar at the onset of the thread. Just because they appear to be lipstick style pickups cosmetically doesn't mean they are in terms of tone or function. Heck we don't even know what material the dern guitar is constructed of. How bout' some specs...please?
