Does Prince Use Several Guitars in a single performance?

Or does he just use one?

I've never seen him in concert. Can someone who has, respond? Thanks.

The last show I saw him was the Musicology tour and his main guitar was still the Hohner Telecaster, and he used a Fender Strat. He did an acoustic set as part of the show with a purple Takamine acoustic guitar.

I've seen him use an Ibanez George Benson model hollow-body and the "symbol"-shaped guitar, too.....but what happened the cloud guitar? He hasn't used that in a while.

Ya know...for years I realized that I never paid attention to the guitar itself...And I have made it a point to try and learn about the different styles of craftmanship on guitars...The instrument is truly beautiful, in it's own way...as each instrument is also beautiful. Like People.

Yeah, I've seen him switch, he'll throw his guitar to someone waiting in the audience, then he'll use another one.

No. He switches. I've noticed he uses his Hohner is used for a lot of clean sounds, and the symbol or cloud for more rock/dirty sounds.
Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together
