    "​Prince carefully designed his performances so that every element, from costumes and choreography to the look and sound of his instruments, was consistent with his artistic vision. This futuristic guitar was a gift from German princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis around 1986. Prince used it to record the majority of Sign o’ the Times (1987) and played it on his 1987 tour. It appears in the video for “Alphabet Street” (1988) and in a concert film from the Lovesexy tour (1988–89). ",
