@thecloud...hey man!!!! Naw I didn't build this one...wish I did cause I would definitely keep pumping these out so I could have every color I've ever wanted (which is basically all of them!! LOL!) But how are ya man? Any new axes?

@purpledoveuk...I got this one from a US guitar luthier named Anthony Butowics. He's a really cool guy...straight up, honest, and very fair-priced (which is really unheard of now days with most of these guys claiming to build cloud guitars!).

Niiiiice.

Questions:

1) What type of pickups are in there?

2) Pickup selector -- two- or three-position switch?

3) All maple -- neck and body?

4) Neck-thru or bolt-on? What's its radius? Its profile?

5) What kinds of bridge and tuners?

Thanks. It's a beaut.

Hey Threadbare,

Thanks for the questions! Here's what I know...the rest of the info I'll have 2 get asap!

Tuners - Schaller M6

Bridge - for lack of funds, I was forced to use an "All Parts" non trem bridge until I had the funds to replace it with the Schaller 457 (all the original Cloud Guitars have the 457 bridge)

Pickups - AUTHENTIC EMG's (SA and the 81 humbucker)

Wood - All maple construction

Fret Wire - Gold

Pickup Selector - 3-way selector in gold (Gibson style)

Also comes with gold volume and tune knobs (the black JB style knobs that were on the original cloud guitar come with this as well, just in case you'd like to swap out the gold ones)

- White electronics cover plate(s)

- Gold locking strap locks

- Gold O+> fret markers

That's about all I know so far. Plays like a beauty!!! In 5 days I'll regretfully have to place this on Ebay, but I'm getting the word out to all the Prince fans because I know only a true Prince fan will appreciate an instrument like this!!!

Hope this helps man!
