I am curious of what guitars are on display at Paisley Park and from what era's. Is the last guitar he received the week of his death on display? The purple one?

All I know is that they are displaying some clouds that are not the real deal. Headstock gives it away. I believe I saw a fake Hohner Tele as well.

Purple Rain Room is displaying a Schectar copy of a white cloud.

The real deal are on display in the soundstage; gold symbol axe, the last guitar around 2012-206...I think it's a VOX.

They are displaying fake guitars? That's a rip off to people paying good money to see the guitars that Prince played.

The last 2 were on display at the Paisley Park store at the Mall of America. There is an early one from 1979-1980 that I don't have a pic of.

that purple raindrop guitar is on display. it's even prettier in person (hopefully they'll sell lefthanded replicas of that some day )

I'm not sure why someone would say "fake". There was more than one of those particular guitars in Prince's possession over the years. You can see the differences if you just look at the animal print on the front. Pick a spot and compare it to another photo. He had more than one. So I side-eyeing the "fake" claim.

Are you sure about that? I've just looked at several photos spanning early 80s to mid 00s and all the print looks identical in the 3 random places I selected.
