Prince's Hohner Telecaster Guitar

Hello Orgers...

After a long, frustrating search to find an original 1970's Hoher Telecaster (Mad Cat) like Prince plays... Or at least one that I can afford, I've decided to custom make one of my own. I'm gonna use the body of one of the Hohner reissues but use my own neck, tuners, pickups & pickguard...

I would love to be able to make a true replica Hoher decal like the one on Prince's Tele...

Does anyone have a good picture of the headstock of his guitar? This is the only one I can find so far.

This logo is Hohner's version of the H.S. Anderson logo who was the original manafacturer of the guitar.. This is their decal on the Mad Cat Telecaster.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to make this as authentic as possible & the Hohner reissues just aren't funky at all.... PEACE prince

^^^^ Thanks for the reply... Yeah, that site is great. Someone really did their research.

That's where I found the pics I have of Prince's Hohner logo & the original H.S. Anderson Logo that I posted.... Prince's guitars are a Hohner release of the H.S. Anderson guitar and have the Hohner logo on the head stock that is curved like the Anderson Logo...

I know I'm being picky, but I'm trying to get it exactly right.... Thanks again.

I think, on closer inspection, Prince now has a genuine Fender telecaster neck and headstock
