I think it is the coolest looking guitar Prince ever played...you agree?
Remember 1988 Anna Stesia, 1990 The Question of U.

Here it is:


Used extensively on the "Nude Tour", this guitar and and it's Bass counterpart were designed and built by Auerswald guitars in Germany. The guitar featured a one piece Wengewood construction a String locking Bridge and the distinctive tie bar designed to aid sustain, which the Artist demonstrated by playing entire songs using only his left hand! Another feature of the guitar is the greenish Purple finish which incorporates 20 coats of aircraft paint.

The design of the guitar resembles the Roland GR 707 guitar synth once used by Wendy Melvion, though the story goes that the original was a gift from Princess Gloria of Thurn und Taxis in Germany, a replica of which was made by Jerry Auerswald as the original was too precious to use. A production version of the Anastasia will cost you a mere £2.500

Sorry, I have to disagree. Don't like the look!

...but the sound! The Question of U in 1990 sounded wonderful and remember that he played one of the very best aftershows, Small Club, with this guitar!

I love that first picture... funky!

Isn't that guitar called Model C. or is that saying the same thing?
