anyone got info on Prince's new quitar i just saw Prince in concert and he had a new Fender guitar. i was wondering if anyone has any information about it. All i know was that it was a light blue Fender, had what looked to be a Floyd Rose tremo, and 2 EMG humbucking pickups. i've been asking people in another fan forum but haven't gotten any real solid answers. | |

There was a long overblown discussion of it on this site, when he whupped it out about 3 months ago. Since search ain't working, you'll be hard pressed to locate the info. Check over in the musicians section here - they'll know. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

He bought it on Tokyo November 24-25th 2002.
and he didn't WHUP it out 3 months ago, try 13 months ago. From the post - http://www.prince.org/msg/12/29130 He told us he went shopping for guitars in Tokyo on his 4 days off and he showed us his 4 new guitars . One was an orange Fender 4 string bass with white scratchplate, that was the one that had the problem. Another bass - this one is totally clear, you can see right through it ! It has a small handle on it like his Awhite Auserwald? guitar from the Nude tour. Very cool bass. Another was a very small guitar, it was so small, it was dark purple and in the shape of a heart. I have seen it around before in guitar stores... It was probably about 40/45cm long... And here is the cool thing, he also bought this aqua Fender Strat and told us that Sonny T had the exact same guitar when they used to jam together when they were 14 years old... He said he had to buy it "just for the memories alone". I just thought it was a really cool story. Then he played it and said - "They dont play so well... but I just like the look of them" Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! | |
