Daisy Rock

In the Paisley Park guitar book Prince had a Purple Daisy Rock heart guitar.
Apparently he was “...enamoured with its shape and colour”
Does anyone have a picture of Prince playing this guitar??

Sorry I can’t seem to post a picture from the PP guitar book.
Grits and gravy, cheese eggs and jam...

I don't think that Prince ever played it onstage.I saw it in photos of the Prince exhibit in Amsterdam and Andy Allo appeared to be playing it in the video for RocknRoll Love Affair.Someone said they have a room at Paisley Park dedicated to the video and that it's usually on display there.I remember someone posting here after the video came out that it was under 200 dollars.

I think it's really cute! It's called the Heartbreaker and Miley Cyrus had one too.Looks like it's only available in red now.It's made for young girls but he obviously liked the look of it. I wonder if he actually played it?

my daughter has 1 that is pink with purple cheetah print, she loves it. It's kinda cool to know he owned one too. That purple one now goes for almost 500$ on Amazon!!!

I had read he had it made for Andy because of his love for her. She is playing it in the video:

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Thanks everyone for the reply’s. I managed to get pick up one of the Purple ones a few days for £100 ($140)
I’m not sure how it plays completely as it only had 3 strings, lol.
So I’ve ordered myself a new set of Ernie Ball strings, and a Gaucho Leopard guitar strap. I know the strap isn’t the make Prince used, but hey, it’ll put a smile on my face.
Thanks again everyone.

I will try to get one, not for me, I like to have guitars around for people to play when they visit. This would be a good girls guitar. This must be a 3/4th guitar.

What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet?

they surprisingly have a really good tone, I actually stumbled upon it at a local pawn shop, paid about 150$ for the guitar, case and amp. Tho in hindsight i maybe should have waited on the amp lol

Very cool! Maybe Prince liked the tone as well as the look of the guitar.I'd like a purple one too but looks like they may be kind of hard to find now.Thanks!

The guide told us that he bought and played it in Japan.
