Mine is a rare version where only 25 were made globally, after they found the original wood in the factory. Only three were shipped to the US and I have one of them.
I always knew it was some sort of Tele copy. Thanks for fleshing out the story. And when it come to Prince, when he played the Superbowl half time show, and the RnRHoF closing jam solo, he set the standard at that point for both those performances, blew away any past artist's performances at those respective events, and has yet to be eclipsed by anyone playing those respective events since IMHO. And I say this as a casual Prince fan, not a dyed-in-the-wool-I-own-every-album-fan.
Great, always enjoy your videos. I built my own replica from a Real Life Relics body and a neck fashioned from scratch. I went with a set of EMG pickups for that 80s vibe and more of a Les Paul neck profile. It turned out awesome and I can't put it down!
Thank you for this video. Is there a legitimate, reliable outlet to purchase an authentic version from?
I wonder how many of us looked for these on eBay and Reverb after seeing that Prince solo on My Guitar Gently Weeps?
I know I did! Legendary guitar.

I always thought Prince was playing a Fender tele…but in my defense, I wasn’t focused too much on the guitar…I was watching Apollonia🫤
🤣 you and the rest of us, my friend. 🤣
Now in order to restore the disbalance in the universe space you have to purify yourself in Lake Minetonka.
If you think about it he is the only famous guitarist I know of that didn't had a signature model for public sale. Respect for Prince.
Great history. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
