PrinceOne of Prince’s yellow cloud guitars is going up for auction in June.

"I've been a Prince fan since I was a little kid, and that guitar always stuck out to me because it was super cool and stylish," said Lecce. "Unfortunately, as morbid as it is, when people pass, their items become more valuable.”

"I think something as valuable as this could be too risky to continue to have in my possession.” Leece, who doesn't play any musical instruments, has said he kept the guitar in pristine condition and only posed for a few photos with it when it was first bought.

The instrument features a serial number and comes with a letter of authenticity from Prince’s guitar technician Zeke Clark, who notes that the guitar's neck was broken in France in 1994 and later repaired.
