Bogus Cloud guitar Auction

Dig if you will this nonsense

Of this being a guitar that Prince played:

Claims this was Prince's PERSONAL Cloud guitar but it looks like an off the shelf Schecter Diamond Series. Note the piclups are Duncan Designer Series, never known to be played by Prince.

Here is another identical guitar for sale:

Sure the auction one has a boarding pass but that proves nothing except that Prince got on an airplane.

thoughts?

I go after people selling fakes and taking advantage of Prince fans all the time but in this case it might actually be the real deal. They should have included a photo of the boarding pass, believe it or not. Prince did give Big Chick a "Cloud" guitar plus other memorabilia. I know that his wife has been slowly trying to sell the items since his passing. The prices are out of the average fans price range that's for sure but she's in her late 60's and has no use for the items and rather than donate the items to a museum would rather make some much need money, I assume. So, in this case I can't say that it is a fake because last year she did mention this guitar in an interview as well as a pair of Prince's pants with a small hole in them.

It does state it is Prince's "practice guitar" - so could he have had this in his dressing room, hotel room etc. whilst the guitar tech looks after the stage used ones?

guitar was made in 2000's. seriously doubt Big Chick has anything to do with it.
