    I need your help justifying future guitar purchases.

We can all help here. Just buy it. Watch this video of Prince slaying some Harrison and let that inspire a purchase:

I have shared this performance with people many, many times. Most recently with my father in law. So, I have to assume you're referring to the below video. The one you posted is Prince performing Purple Rain from said film. Thx for sharing! Onward!!!

I can't believe I've not seen that before. I got chills. Is that Dhani Harrison on rhythm? I suppose it's technically slaying Clapton (from a guitar perspective), but that's nitpicky and no less awesome either way. Sad to see Tom and Prince up there having such a good time. Poor bastards. Petty's voice on that performance is really melodic and nice, not like his typical country thing. What a beautiful vid. Thanks for posting.

Yes. That’s Dhani.

And some of my favorite parts are watching his expression. Prince owns that stage. It’s so much fun to watch.

I once read about an app Dhani was developing where you could could look at and hear all of George's guitars. He had them all hi-res 3D photographed and then recorded a bunch of music on each one. I never saw it actually come out though.
