It is. The Cloud is designed and constructed as a 3/4 sized guitar to fit Prince's small frame.

Why does it say Prince OZ on it? That font isn't the exact Purple Rain font either. There are a couple of PR fonts floating around. One is a bit more 'pointed' than the other. PR's font had a slightly rounder edge on it, giving it more of a handwritten look.

If I ever get one made, I'd want them to bump it up to full size. I ain't tiny.

There was a full-size Cloud? That's news to me. I thought that the Peach was just a re-painted guitar from his stock. Is there anything about this in print? I'm fascinated.

I meant to quote the post where you seem to confirm that he had a full-size Cloud:

Yeah I think that there were 2 white clouds and he destroyed one at the last Revolution gig.

There was also a black cloud with a natural maple neck during 1986.

The peach was in 1987

Blue Angel I believe was a repaint cuz he still had the peach in 1988.

All Black in 1989- Probably the black one from 1986

1990 the darker blue

1991 Yellow cloud and Black cloud

No other colors since he laid the cloud to rest during the Vegas tours

However for the Superbowl pics of a Red Cloud surfaced but never used!

I was just wondering if there was ever a full-size Cloud built. As I stated before, his Clouds (and Symbols) were spec'd out and blueprinted as being 3/4-size, so a full-size seems like an oddity if it existed at all.

I met with the original luthier of the Cloud and saw the blueprints as we discussed building one for me. There was never a mention of a full-size, but that doesn't mean one never came to be.

I think he just likes to change his color schemes up. No idea why he has abandoned the Clouds altogether, though.
