EPISODE LINK HERE - talks about Takumi, making a guitar for Wendy and The Prince Estate asking him to give up the rights to his guitar design! (Maybe they wanted to print clouds on their PJs ;o)

Episode Summary

Dave Rusan was a young aspiring musician in his early 20s, who worked in his local music shop in Minneapolis repairing guitars. One day Prince's manager walked into the store and asked Dave's manager to tell him he had a unique assignment for him - make a distinctive, one of a kind guitar for a movie that Prince would star in.

In part 2 of this unique interview, Dave tells us what it felt like as it dawned on him that he would become part of music history forever. Essential for lovers of Prince's music but also for music lovers and rock historians.

Will give this a watch/listen. Takumi was great in answering a question I asked him about what kind of strings Prince used.

If you're into guitars @FrankieCoco1 - this could be the podcast episode for you...goes into specifics like strings, pick-ups and the various elements Dave used to make such an iconic guitar. One for the heads...

Gonna give this a look/hear. I inquired of Takumi what kind of strings Prince used, and he responded admirably. Spam deleted, l'ange bleu, moderator

Thanks Gustavo, will try and share other relevant episodes as and when they come up. T

Looking forward to hearing this. And more about Takumi - he was incredibly generous in interactions my friends and I had with him.
