• The Prinz (ca.1980s), Hohner. Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll. Metropolitan Museum of Art..
  "​This Telecaster-style guitar is one of several that Prince owned. Despite his reputation for playing extravagant master-built guitars, he allegedly bought his first Hohner from a Minneapolis-area gas station for about $30 in the early 1970s, because the guitar’s leopard-patterned pickguard matched his strap and stage outfit. Becoming one of his main workhorse instruments, Prince would often use these guitars throughout his career. When Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, he performed a masterful version of the Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” on his original Hohner in an all-star tribute to George Harrison. ",
