Prince was in town to do a show in Chicago and stopped there in a large purple limo and naught the guitar. The Hohner was one of two the store had; one cherru red and the other Prince purchased. The list asking price was 800.00. The guitar tech and salesman was named Bill. A local newspaper wrote about Prince being happy with his purchase... the store kept the article hanging in the front. The article had a shot of Prince doing the stinky face while playing. The article also included that he purchased the guitar at Purdom's. The guitar was/is very special off the factory line perfect intonation. And has a very sweet bright sound. I know this because I played it before it was sold. I had to remove my belt, and wear a cloth to prevent any scratches. The store (Bill) did many mods on my instruments over the years until they closed. Long live PrinceSpicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04678113806945565632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649018907066337901.post-48575023609909681782020-04-28T03:03:51.098-07:002020-04-28T03:03:51.098-07:00Your whole reply is full of crap.

Too me, it's more iconic than the cloud guitar and love symbol guitar. Before Purple Rain I remember seeing him with it in photos and tv. Prince seemed very loyal to it. dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166597932663615988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649018907066337901.post-64568697896653449662019-06-03T13:10:52.657-07:002019-06-03T13:10:52.657-07:00Folks...just got home from a guided tour of Paisle...Folks...just got home from a guided tour of Paisley Park. As told by those who should know, Prince purchased the original Hohner for $30 from out of guy's trunk at a gas station on his way to a gig. The "true" Hohner is on display in Paisley Park. The guitar has lots of wear on it. The guitar is not perfect in looks but yet his favorite and very valuable. For live shows Prince had many exact replicas made by Luthiers that included headstock shape and logo. These replicas were possible as there was an agreement with H.S. Anderson. He did the same for the famous Cloud guitar. The Hohner is on display in a glass case and you can get less than two feet from it.SquareNupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435687180510747111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649018907066337901.post-29867723943713653042019-03-24T23:21:10.994-07:002019-03-24T23:21:10.994-07:00He used the guitar during the recording of Dirty M...He used the guitar during the recording of Dirty Mind and is using it in Uptown the video which was recorded in mid 1980..... he also used it extensively during the fire it up tour with Rick James (early 1980) - so how did you get a start date of 1983?wowdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725655042701143834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649018907066337901.post-22954807069763106222018-07-01T21:39:53.315-07:002018-07-01T21:39:53.315-07:00In what way did Prince "profess" to bein...In what way did Prince "profess" to being the next Hendrix?
