Story
Some guitars leave a mark not because they were mass-produced, but because so few people ever had the chance to play one. The ORR Guitar is one of those rare exceptions.
Hand-built by Minnesota luthier Chuck Orr (Prince's very first personal guitar builder) the original ORR Guitar occupies a unique place in music history. With some collectors estimating that fewer than 15 ORR guitars and basses were ever produced, originals are virtually unobtainable today. While many fans remember its appearance in the Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad video, that brief moment on screen is only part of what makes the ORR so legendary.
That's exactly why we're bringing it to Guitstarter. Our tribute captures the unmistakable silhouette and visual character of the original while reimagining it as a dependable, modern instrument built for today's players. Quality hardware, modern construction, and familiar playability make it a guitar you'll actually want to play - not just look at.
Whether you're a fan of Prince's early years, fascinated by the work of Chuck Orr, or simply appreciate the rarest corners of guitar history, this is your opportunity to help revive a true hidden gem. Back the ORR Guitar on Guitstarter and help bring one of the rarest custom guitars ever built back to life!
