I tried to catch a Madcat Anderson recently with no success. Frustrating at the moment. Then I found this never played Hohner HTA. Cheaper than the Madcat but I like it a lot!
...PrinceĀ“s guitar...

Yes, I got it for 600 $, mint, with a TKL US case. The original price was 1050 $ in 2008, lowered at 850 $ after a while from what I've seen on the net. The Anderson Madcat was more expensive (2500 $ approx.), and it was made in Japan, for the japanese market. There were two or three Madcats on eBay in Japan recently, but I didn't want to spend that much money for it.
As Prince had a Hohner, there's no problem with this one. It sounds like a Fender tele, with nice Tesla PU.
I enjoy very much having guitar models from artists I like : Prince, Jeff Beck, Ace, Robert Smith, Django, Paul Stanley, and Vinnie of course! Strange and funny : those guys don't really fit together!
