The "Cloud" guitar is a custom guitar played by Prince from the Purple Rain era onward. The first one was built for the Purple Rain movie and it became Prince’s preferred guitars. Prince had multiple copies of the Cloud guitar made and a production guitar was built by Schecter.

The design is based the Sardonyx F bass, designed and built by Jeff Levin and purchased by Prince in the late 1970s. The Sardonyx design is further derived from the Gibson F-Type Mandolin. The first Cloud was a custom guitar built by Dave Rusan of Knut Koupeé Music in Minneapolis in 1983. Tommy Stinson (not of Minneapolis band The Replacements) also worked on it. This is the guitar that appears in the Purple Rain film. Knut Koupeé had taken in a shipment of guitar parts from another defunct guitar builder, Jerry O’Hagan, and the first Cloud was built from left over parts from their “Shark” model.
