It's an Ibanez George Benson model. A gift from George himself.

Oh, this one...



My bad. Where did Prince play a green Taylor? Didn't he play a purple semi-acoustic on the Musicology give-away LA film?

I love the mellow sound this guitar has. Very beautiful instrument.

Sorry. The ONA performance from LA that was shown in theaters, and the Musicology CD was given to attendees of the film.

If you are referring to Art of Musicology, he was using a purple acoustic guitar. But when Prince plays jazzy stuff, he usually plays with the Ibanez Benson model, like on Aladdin DVD.
