The Purple Prince Guitar

Here is a bit of a tribute to those wacky over the top 80s guitar styles. They were always more function over form, this guy is no exception. The purple/silver sunburst on it looks great and the the silver fretboard is something else too. If you can’t tell from the pics in the lacquer I added lots of sparkling glitter particles, so this guy really pops in the light. The holographic star inlays were another nice touch, the coup de grâce so to speak. The pickup is a custom made-for-me double humbucker where there are two selectable humbuckers working in either series or parallel that can be selected. Then there is one master vol and a master tone, which is just how I like my guitars to have. My main inspiration when I was conceiving this design was, what is the most Prince-esque custom guitar I could make. This is what I ended up with, a retro-futuristic purple beast.
