Standing as a prime example of the ‘don’t ask, don’t get’ mantra, Spike Lee has recalled the time he asked Prince for one of his highly bespoke signature guitars, and wasn’t met with the warmest of responses.
The Purple One had a wild taste in guitars, with his eye-catching Cloud guitars – one of which sold for $900,000 last summer – and his Sadowsky-made Telecaster just two examples of that. Lee, it turns out, was an admirer, but didn't get his way when he tried to claim one of his own. Initially, at least.
