Artist usage
Add artistBuilt by David Rusan and Barry Haugen, this guitar was made in 1989 for Prince. In this Rolling Stone article, his guitar tech explains, ""This Yellow Cloud guitar was Prince's main guitar & used in most of his early videos & touring performances & album recordings. From around 1988-1994," Prince's former guitar technician Zeke Clark wrote for Heritage Auctions in a letter of authenticity. "In 1994 he broke the neck of this guitar at a French T.V. show. After returning to U.S.A. I repaired neck & installed the first Floyd Rose set up Prince ever played. And then used in recording more albums, up until the symbol guitar was born. After the symbol guitar he wanted 24 additional cloud guitars made to be sold at his outlet store."
