Prince & a Les Paul Guitar?

Although Prince has covered multiple genres with his music,

I haven't seen him with a Les pauls guitar at all!
It's thinkable that it could be experimental and interesting to see him doing something with it. Don't you think?

Have a look at 'The W2A: Euro Tour Song Survey' http://prince.org/msg/12/362417

no Les Paul, but a Gibson:

See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star...

Check out the video for "Dinner With Delores". If I recall it well, he plays a goldtop Les Paul there.

yeahthat

Prince toured with that L6-S Deluxe. It was the first Gibson with 24 frets. Prince hacked it up a bit by adding lights around the body and sawing off the bottom horn.

a 335 (Dot or Sheraton if it's an Epiphone) has a double cutaway. geek
This looks a bit more like the Joe Pass, possibly

I would have loved to see that show, as I'm a big fan of both P and the Bangles. He had a brief infatuation with Susanna Hoffs which Hoffs describes as "Uncomfortable, and it went nowhere."

The audio of it is on a certain channel uh, somewhere here in cyberspace.
