***NEW Podcast episode: Dave Rusan on Prince's guitar being the first he ever made ***

NEW Podcast episode - How Can U Just Leave Me Standing? In search of Prince

...features an in-depth conversation with Dave Rusan about how 'exhilarated' he felt (rather than nervous) by the challenge of making Prince's guitar for a new movie in 1983 - the first he had ever made!

Dave auditions for Prince's band in the late 70s, then goes to London to work with famous rock guitarist Gary Moore, he also reflects on his pride he feels having been given the chance by Prince to be part of music history.

In part 2 Dave goes into more detail about Prince's guitar spec and design, but also talks about making a clear body guitar for Wendy Melvoin.


He also talks about about sitting in on the Purple Rain tour rehearsals, and discusses The Prince Estate and the battle he had to keep the trademark on Prince's famous white cloud guitar.

Should be good...
