PURPLE METALLIC Spray 0,40l

The purple finish is a very special colour because it has not been a production line colour for Fender and Gibson..

Its exclusivity is due to its use in Custom Shop guitars, masterbuilders and limited edition guitars.

This colour has been a landmark colour for being used on Prince’s legendary guitar, his Symbol model, made by luthier Jerry Auerswald.   

In 1993, Prince became embroiled in a contractual dispute with his record label, Warner Brothers, which sought to limit his prolific output to suit the pace of the marketing department.

To reclaim his artistic independence, he changed his name to “symbol” and began appearing at concerts with the word “slave” written on his face in protest against the industry.

As part of his new identity as an artist formerly known as Prince, he commissioned instrument maker Jerry Auerswald to design and build this guitar in the shape of his eponymous symbol. Prince used variations and copies of this instrument in live performances, including the 2007 Super Bowl half-time show.
