well... they are simply Auerswald guitars. They're certainly uncommon, but not exclusive to Prince, it's simply a upscale guitar brand. A quick google will show you lots of similar guitars, as well as lots of Prince guitars, who seems to have been one of the biggest stars to use them.

This may, of course, be because of their outlandish, some might say fugly, looks.

We literally known how Prince got the Model C. The person who gifted it to him wrote about it. There is a website about his guitars.

.

Why don't fans know this? It's not like Prince had a thousand different guitars. Info like this should be common knowledge.

Yes, lots of fans know that. Exactly how did they get that information? Did it magically appear in their heads? Nope. They got that information after they asked a question and other helpful fans with the information pointed them in the right direction. That's how information is shared and spread. Conversation is the mechanism by which fans learn and become more knowledgable.

Fans don't aquire information by being condescended to.

You think your posts make you sound smart. They don't. Actual smart people don't say the things you put in your post.

The black guitar that appears in the Candy video looks to be an Auerswald instrument.

Here's a website for the manufacturer, through which you might be able to find more details.

I was today-years old when I realized a black version of the Model C is in the Cameo video for Candy (I've been trying to post images/screenshots but it's just not happening for me). If you watch the Candy video, you can mainly see it during the guitar solo. It's not an exact match since the headstock is a bit different, but the body shape and connection from the headstock to the body is the same, with the exception of it being on the top as opposed to on the bottom for the white one. Anyone have more info on these two - if these were designed by the same maker, other mainstream artists that used one, etc?

Check out the video "Just Play Music" from Big Audio Dynamite. It may make an appearance in another one of their videos.

Don't waste your breath. He will never change, and the mods will never do anything about him.

He's a major reason why a lot of posters moved to Discord, leaving this place dead.

i think that one is a Roland G-707. Wendy had one on the Parade tour with a Paisley finish.

In what way has Purple Yoda scammed people? Like, I'm not in the chat channels a huge amount so I don't see everything but he's always come across as professional to me.

Lieing to people to get material, lieing about people who do have uncirculating material etc.
there was a huge fallout a couple of years ago where he got c aught lieing and trying to scam people, so watch out for that guy. He closed his server only to invite people to pay and/or ask for there ID's or something when he opened it up again. steer clear from him and his server. Tehre are other much better servers on Disocrd with uselful info.
