Prince Cloud guitar

I really love Prince's cloud guitar. Would love to see more pics of him playing it,holding it, or just the guitar. While I have been trying to research the origins of the guitar I found out it was based on a bass that was used in the band during the early years. I would like to know more about the bass guitar as well as the cloud guitars that followed. There is a certain amount of secrecy involved here. I noticed some replicas look different than the original. I have asked a couple of people for the dimensions of the original cloud guitar as well as replicas but no luck. It's like a guarded secret. I did see a blueprint drawing online of a cloud but it's not clear if it's of a original or replica. The major difference to me is the headstock shape/length and the bevel width around the body of the guitar. I know Prince was a small man so it's hard to tell the true size of the guitar. Would like to see it next to a guitar I'm familiar with like a Les Paul or Stratocaster to compare with. Thanks

Thanks, I did try to do a search first but it didn't show any results for the cloud guitar. If anyone else has info please share.
