Prince Custom Guitar - Information Request - For Sale

This message is for those "all knowledgable" about Prince concert tours and collectibles. I am trying to gain information about a guitar that I've listed on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eB...RK:MESE:IT

I've been told it was 1 of 10 made for a Prince Concert tour back in the 80's. Any information would be helpful

Thanks,

Ipdog1

I've seen this guitar for auction before as a Prince item. I can't say that it was in fact used on any of his tours. Miko may have used it, if anyone. I believe that Miko liked the Fernandez'.

The guitar for sale, on first glance, does not appear to be from a prince tour. Prince early symbol was a male female combined 0+> into one. The guitar you are selling has the male 0-> and female 0+ symbols separate.

I have seen one of the actual guitars Miko played during lovesexy tour at a hard rock and it was a Jackson it was green, he also played a pink jackson. I also believe the Miko guitar in the Lovesexy tourbook is a Jackson, it is covered with letters like in alphabet street video.

Apart from the fact that there was no confusion tour, and that is is not a single tour photo from any year (even though there were ten made!?)....

Its Fake!

Prince Never used both symbols. And besides, it looks like its been done by a kid with a paint brush! Sorry.

lol Hey, I was trying to be nice to the poor bastard. This thing seriously has been up for auction as a P item before. Maybe it is time to stop the chain of fakemosis.
