"They looked like a Ric, but they really weren’t after we got done with them. They were loaded with G&L pickups, and had the f-holes sealed up, so there was no air moving in them like a stock guitar."

According to the Vintage Guitar interview, there were two of those heavily modified guitars. However, those guitars got stolen from the truck of the band.

"Gibson came to rehearsal back in 1985 and presented me with that guitar before we left for the Parade tour. It’s been my jewel. I have a few other 335s from 1967 that are absolutely phenomenal, too, but the white one was made for me and I now play it consistently. I only play it with flatwounds and it’s just been a dream guitar. That guitar was used for the entire Parade tour and our last tour as a band. Actually, Prince called me about 6 months before he passed and goes, “God! Do you still have that white 335?” And indeed I do."

However, the year of the rehearsal is unknown- in aforementioned interview, he mentions the year as 1985, but in the Vintage Guitar interview, he mentions the year as 1982. However, in this interview it is further confirmed that he uses flatwound strings.

Wendy Melvoin played a Roland G-707 guitar synth with Prince. It appears in the Girls & Boys video.

Wendy used her 1995 Les Paul Classic to record in the late 90s with Girl Bros, Sheryl Crow, Seal, and K.D. Lang
