Prince's Electric Guitar
1989
The Instrument Formerly Known as Guitar
Custom-made by the Minneapolis, MN, firm of Knut-Koupee Enterprises, this "Yellow-cloud" electric guitar was designed and used by Prince. The musician's distinctive personal symbol adorns both the top and the side of the fingerboard. Today, custom work for famous instrumentalists and musicians provides an important marketing tool for small-scale guitar makers.
