| This is the ankh symbol
which musician
Prince adopted as his name in 1993. Here's a
story about the Egyptian origin of the ankh symbol. |

Here's a photo of one
of Prince's ankh-symbol shaped guitars. The guitar was designed by Prince and
built by German luthier Jerry Auerswald in the gold color
shown. Prince also had copies made in white, black and of
course his signature color purple (shown below). |

| This is a photograph of
the Prince playing (or at least holding) the purple
version of his uniquely shaped guitar. |

This is a photo from
Prince's 2007 Superbowl halftime performance. While it
didn't create the controversy of Janet Jackson's
wardrobe
malfunction (don't click if you're offended by
bejeweled breasts),
Prince's performance did generate some controversy due to
the
phallic symbolism apparent from the silhouette
photo of Prince holding his guitar behind a
transparent curtain. See
this story. |

| In my search for photos
of Prince's guitar, I also came across this photo of an
oddly shaped guitar. If I were to start playing this
guitar in performances in my
inevitable career as a rock star, who do you think might
sue me? Hint: Cartoon
