Wow, those look great. But do they sound great? What are the specs?

Were the Cloud and the Habibi/Symbol model made by (ex?)-orger Leo the luthier?

Where did you get the Hohner?

I just love the Hohner, and yours looks VERY much like the one that Prince plays. The newer models look to shiny and bright, plus the tortoise shell on the newer ones looks kinda brownish instead of black.

I´m not a guitarist but I guess if I were, I´d also prefer a telecaster or something similar.

Too bad that Prince rarely plays his trademark guitars these days and even poses with Strats in magazines instead of using his Cloud, Hohner or Symbol one. The Strats may sound good but I think Prince is one of those guitarists who are known for using trademark guitars....Strats look flat out boring on such an eccentric man.

Nice guitars!

noooooooooooooo,Prince sounds amazing on Strat.It's his best sounding guitar along with Hohner.

these other trademark guitars have bad sintetic sound

But I never doubted the Strat´s awesome sound in my post, did I ? I said it SOUNDS great, but looks bland compared to his trademark guitars. Besides, being a Prince fan since the summer of 1984, I never had a problem with the sound of his Cloud,Hohner, Symbol or Model C. They all sound great, too, IMO.

Strats sound great but they are too plain looking.

For the purple one what kind of guitar case is used for it? I always wondered about that.

The Hohner is a H.S. Anderson "MADCAT" TELECASTER.

The Habibi case is a special designed for it.

The Cloud is a Schecter NPG.

OK. Kewl

Thank you.

Very nice axes!

guitar company bulits smaller guitars for Prince

Im jealous

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.

This is the only guitar I have right now!!! I need to get my collection up like the rest of you guys!!! These are some beautiful guitars man!!

So none of you has got the model C? No millionaires in here?

Nice collection but I couldnt imagine ever pulling out the Habibi with a straight face. The design is just too absurd.

THe Cloud and Honer look great.

yeah, I feel the same about the cloud. It's cool but I could never play it except as a joke.Even the Hohner, with the leopard print is too Prince for me to actually use onstage.

But if I had the money I might get one all the same. Buying guitars is a sickness, and too many is never enough!

Cloud is nice, but doesn't it feel unbalanced?

yeah, Strats are just so common (I have one, and sometimes feel like "just another wannabe with a strat" ) The Tele is pretty common, too, but it's part of Prince mythology at this point (and his best sounding guitar tone, IMO)

But I have always thought it made sense that Prince would have custom built instruments. I certainly would if I could afford it!

how do the funky shapes affect the sound of the guitar...

probably not as much as the scale length, wood, finish, and pickups (and effects & amp, of course)

if that's the case, I wonder why more guitar companies don't do more creative designs...

Mine is my avatar, been a guitarist 25+ years, but I can't afford a Prince guitar, although I would love one. Mine is a blonde squier tele, with a tortoiseshell scratchplate and my own decal on headstock. Lucky guys owning those great looking guitars.
