One of Prince’s mainstay guitars that he has been using since the early 80’s is the Hohner MadCat Telecaster, a Japanese made Fender Telecaster copy. These were designed in the early 70’s and later H.S. Anderson sold the rights to Hohner in Germany.Production stayed in Japan but with the Hohner logo.wo copies of the Love Symbol guitar were built by one of Prince’s guitar techs, a white and a black one. These were mahogany and as such, not very durable, especially since Prince loves to throw his guitar up in the air and let it crash to the stage.
