As far as specifications go, the Cloud guitar was made with hard rock maple, a neck-through-body with 22 frets, and EMG pickups (as requested). It also featured “[a] single-coil in the neck, [which] is the SA Stratocaster model, and the one on the bridge [which] is a model 81 humbucker like you’d put in a Les Paul”. Rusan worked on the guitar for 50–60 hours per week to complete it in time for Purple Rain and Prince was so pleased with the result that he requested two more.
The Cloud guitar, thought to have got its name from the cover art for Prince and the Revolution’s Around the World in a Day, remains an iconic instrument to this day, with the original now on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington DC.
