More information about the guitar can be found here: http://uniqueguitar.blogspot.com/2011/09/princes-guitars.html

Prince current ride is the Vox Series 77

These are the most recognizable guitars in Prince’s stable but he has also played a Les Paul Jr. covered with fake fur, a Lake Placid Blue Stratocaster, Dark Blue Telecaster with flowers, a George Benson autographed Ibanez archtop, and Auerswald Model C guitars equipped with sustain bows.

Starting at about 1:53, Prince can be seen playing a custom purple (a dark bordeaux like purple) Taylor T5. If you go frame by frame through that section, very briefly you can see the headstock clear enough to recognize the Taylor logo. And then there's the tell tale cat's eye soundholes and the three unique control buttons on the upper part of the guitar.

Prince used the guitar on multiple occasions, it is a one off Fender Custom Shop Strat built at his request, note absence of middle pick-up and locking tuners, he also used a 'Fiesta Red' and a Gold Stratocaster guitar with extremely similar specs to the one shown here

Built 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."

Prince featured this guitar as part of a more extended acoustic set throughout his Musicology tour in 2004.

Simon "Gus" Farmer, from Heathfield, began working on the guitar nine years ago. It was only at the beginning of March that Prince received it before showing it off on stage. He apparently liked it so much he ordered a bass guitar. Prince performed with Simon Farmer's guitar in early April 2016.

What guitars are you playing on the Musicology tour?

I’m using a Gretsch 6120N New Nashville, a Hamer Monaco III, and a Taylor acoustic. I run the electrics though a Genz-Benz El Diablo amp with a Genz-Benz 2x12 cabinet, and my onstage effects consist of Line 6 DS-4 and DM-4 pedals, a Fulltone Fat Boost overdrive, an EBS BassIQ envelope filter, and a Dunlop Cry Baby 535.

Prince played an Epiphone Emperor Thinline from 1986 to 1996.
