That looks cool. Thank U!
The guitar pictures:

Not sure I like the design much. It's chunky.

i can see alot of effort went into making that guitar, but it is on an objective level, one of the ugliest things i have ever seen.

the craftmanship is amazing, but the design is .....

my

What an arrogant bitch is this Prince guy. He could have accepted the gift and if he didn't like it he could gave it away to some poor kid or whatever.
Maybe he was afraid for a bomb inside the guitar. He can be such a sissy sometimes.

I think that Guitar is so Beautiful...Such a nice Teardrop shape...I Love it...

I'm gonna draw that one....

that's odd-looking

It is rude to turn down a nice gift like that. But it is his right to say NO.

maybe its some religious thing...?
No accepting gifts or sumthin..?
regardless its interesting looking..not something i would play..but Interesting for sure..

Celebrities just can't accept any gift that's thrown at them, especially one that they would use to perform with. Next thing you know the designer is suing Prince for stealing his design or using his guitar without compensation or something.

I was thinking the same thing. JW cannot accept gifts from my understanding. Have to respect his reasons & religion & I'm sure he was very gracious when declining.

Well, ..if he acepted the ugly guitar, it would be almost an endorsement for the dumb thing, ...they gave it to him so he could play it and be seen with it so they could sell more, plain and simple.

Marketing/gift....but mostly marketing...i never heard of it till now that its posted on a Prince site

I love the combination of purple and gold. Prince has all the right to decline though.

I'm sure JWs are able to accept gifts. I worked with a JW and she left to have a baby, we all bought her loads of baby gifts. I'm sure gifts are fine, they just can't be birthday or Xmas gifts.

He usually declines expensive gifts...! See the rolex story on Trueprincestories.com

I guess he is afraid people might have a hidden agenda!

The guitar shape is pure Prince, but it seems Prince is in love with his Fender Strat recently...

I think it would have became more of an endorsement on his part rather than a gift from someone if he had accepted it. IMO
It looks cool to me, not that I know anything about musical instruments.
It reminds me of that piano in that Rave dvd.
Im sure he had his reasoning.

You might be right, kind of like those stupid bikes/choppers they always show on TV or those car make overs they do for sports players. Most are ugly as shit to me.

Hmmm....it seems that it is ´carbon fibre´...the sound must be very different from a wood guitar

I don't think I've seen him noodling with one of those guitars since Rave.

They might want to try one of these since he's loving his tele right now:

i like the colour. i heard he also declined this one 2...

the case is cabon fibre, so the sound is the same unless he plays the case

and yeah, gift receiving is a tricky thing for people with influence. horatio is probably on point with this one.
