Miniature Guitar Appraisal

Prince-Themed Display with Miniature Guitar and Framed Photo

This item is a commemorative display featuring a miniature replica guitar alongside a framed photo of the iconic musician Prince. The miniature guitar is crafted from light-colored wood, likely maple or a similar light-grained timber, with a natural, possibly varnished, finish. It features a distinct body shape, reminiscent of Prince's signature 'cloud' or 'symbol' guitars, with exaggerated curves on the upper bout. The neck and headstock are also made of the same light wood, with six small white tuning pegs visible on the headstock. The fretboard has dark markings for frets and small circular inlays. The body of the guitar is equipped with a white humbucker pickup near the neck and a gold-colored bridge and tailpiece assembly. There are two black control knobs and one gold-colored knob, along with a chrome output jack located on the lower bout. The craftsmanship appears to be reasonably detailed for a miniature, with attention paid to replicating the hardware. Some minor scuffs or dust may be present on the guitar surface, consistent with display or light handling. Beside the guitar is a silver-toned metal picture frame, holding a print of a black and white photograph of Prince performing. The photo captures him mid-performance, holding a guitar and singing into a microphone. Below the image, the word 'PRINCE' is prominently displayed in a purple box on a white background, suggesting it might be a Polaroid-style print or a reproduction designed to look like one. The frame itself has a clean, modern aesthetic with a matte silver finish and a black mat surrounding the photo. There are no obvious signs of damage to the frame or the print. This set is a decorative item, likely intended for a fan or collector of Prince memorabilia, celebrating his musical legacy and distinctive style.
