Roger2611 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I had a look at them, the blue one looks nice, they look well built and a very 80's boutique shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Not disimilar (in someways) to the Washburn I bought recently. In shape - not price, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 These are lovely, I particularly like the single P, aesthetically. 6 hours ago, ash said: They are US made apparently but to me they look like the sort of instruments that came out of Japan in this period. They do, but I don't think they're MIJ. Too many quirks, like the truss cover at the heel end, and the fact hardware & electronics is Schaller/DiMarzio. Realistically Alembic's to blame for these & the similar Japanese stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Looks like a Grabber had a fling with a Thunder 3a and these were the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after going for a little nosy around myself - it turns out Prince's original pair of Cloud guitars were modified O'Hagans. https://www.fretboardjournal.com/features/the-origin-of-princes-cloud-guitar/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Quite nice looking, but I'd spend a grand of my money on something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
