What do you think is Prince's favorite guitar?

We all have guitars that we like him to play but what do you think is his favorite. Do you think he has a favorite at all?

I think he really likes his Hohner. For one he plays it the most in live shows and it looks good with any outfit he's wearing. I know he never announced it in any interview (that I've read) but what's your thought?

I'd say the Hohner.

You mean you're gonna actually hear what we play tonight? You're not gonna make up the notes in your mind?

Been with him from the start...

Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

Does he have duplicates of that guitar or has he had it all these years?

I think a couple exist, but as far as I know, he still plays originals. Hohner has replicated that guitar over the years, but never in the exact same model.

There are others that would know for sure though. I seem to remember seeing a couple at Paisley Park in a storage/repair room.

Probably his Taylor acoustic.

In the past, I have read about stories about Prince's people contacting owners of the original Hohners to purchase them.

That would explain why the Hohner I saw him play from 10 feet away at the Houston Tamar show was flawless, while others have told me it has more than a few nicks and dings.
