I always thought that Prince's one was a Höfner or Hohner? Or were they just branded differently?

Yes,his guitar is HS Anderson Mad Cat that was re-branded as a Hohner. There were only about 500 Mad Cats made in total including the Hohner versions.

This company obviously loves tortoiseshell. Not even "good" tortoise shell (not that I believe that even exists), just really, really shitty tortoise shell. I believe anybody who worked on bringing this guitar to the public should be killed with fire and potentially nuked from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I like it. I wish I could get a tort guard like that for my Jaguar.
