How many of you all with these guitars actually play and Funk It Up???

Because I know some you all must play!

I actually play my cloud guitar...I get a lot of looks, mostly compliments! But of coarse Prince fans that see me playing my cloud for a concert have PLENTY 2 say!! LOL!! Mostly, "You're not Worthy!!" lol!! But I love playing it...for the sound of those EMG's first, but I can't lie and say the look doesn't have just as much pull!! lol! Now, I don't know about a symbol guitar...especially because I play mostly for churches so that would really be crazy!!! LOL!

but I still want one!!

Live for LOVE and not for YOURSELF.

the symbol guitar is missing the gold symbols on the 5th, 7th, 9th,etc frets.

There are no gold symbols on the original habibi as you can see in the presentation of the guitar in Guitar Player. Fake ones have those symbols.

The original Auerswald Symbol had a single prince at the 12th fret on the fretboard face itself. Subsequent Symbol guitars were made by Schecter (after Prince's guitar tech disassembled the Auerswald and took careful measurements), including the Habibi guitars with the Floyd Rose tremolos. All Schecters and the Auerswald had either dots or prince fret markers on the neck edge as seen from above while playing the guitar. You just couldn't see them from a front-facing vantage point.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
