Prince concerts without the Hohner? How loyal is Prince with the use of his Hohner Telecaster guitar? Has he ever not used it in a concert? (except for the almost guitar-less Parade Tour)
Have a look at 'The W2A: Euro Tour Song Survey' http://prince.org/msg/12/362417 | |

I think the Sign O the times tour, Diamonds and pearls (except for the warner demo show), ACT 1 +II, Gold and NPS.
But at the same time, it's been there pretty much since square 1 for Prince and is still used today so it's definately his main weapon of choice all round..
I remember seeing it come on stage and be tested by a crew member at Roskilde just before the show and that itself was just like seeing a celebrity for me
RESPECT TO THE HOHNER! | |

To be honest, I wish he used a different guitar for certain songs live. The hohner works perfectly for funkier songs but it always comes up the tiniest bit short when he's trying to play lead with it. | |

Didn't use it at all during Diamonds & Pearls European Tour, Act II,Gold or Jamnof the Year Tour....in fact I never saw it live until ONA
I miss the Cloud a bit....but look at it now and all those pickups look ugly [Edited 11/29/10 3:17am] | |

That reminds me of how I met one of my closest friends.
I was at the premiere of "Graffiti Bridge" here in town and when the part came where The Time grabbed the Hohner from P and threw it, I said in a rather loud voice, "Don't you touch that guitar!" LOL, I still have no idea why I said that, but after the movie, a guy came over and introduced himself. He'd heard me and figured I was a big fan.
We've been buddies ever since. | |

I've been under the illusion that he didn't use it at all during the 90s, except perhaps in the studio.

Maybe that's why I haven't notice him not using it, I dislike the 90's. Have a look at 'The W2A: Euro Tour Song Survey' http://prince.org/msg/12/362417 | |
