The Brit who crafted Prince's stunning last guitar

This is a piece on the Brit guitar maker who created Prince's stunning last guitar. His Gus guitar showcased is actually my favorite of all the guitars I've seen in Prince's collection. Take a look. Its an interesting well done video. It certainly made me smile.

"So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' for my sunshine
But all I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine
So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down"

First, your welcome. Second, who is Ace? The guitar maker or is Ace the name Prince gave his guitar?

Oh my gosh, "ace" as in "aced" it. Now I'm embarassed for being too American in that minute lol. Sorry, about that. It's been a trying Monday. Anyhow, I'm glad you enjoyed the video as well. The dude crafts amazing guitars. I'm sure Prince was very impressed with his craftsmanship. It's so sad Prince wasn't able to tell "Gus" formally himself. Well, at least he has a photo of Prince holding his creation during one of his last performances. As a fan and as an artist, I'm sure that bittersweet image/memory will carry on with him always. RIP Power Purple. Amen.
