I have one of the these too. This guitar is actually so underratted, so versatile, amazing neck. One of its kind.
damn, did a thousand dollars just fall out of the sky
Absolutely love Musicman quality.
@@gazzy_burns I wish fender could take note
Totally true. I bought it for the neck alone. It was that good. Sounds great, plays amazing, everything else in guitars is window-dressing. This is a pro guitar and a keeper.

Id like to think I played a small role in your new affinity for fuzz...
Hey, it's that other really cool person on UA-cam!
You do sir
fuzz...welcome to the 1960's 40 years before now

@@edubs9828 - roughly should have said i gave up after about 5 years of trying to buying one particular guitar from a guy who later bought one of the very early handmade Paul Reed Smith's. Guy really knew his 'lectric geetars ya' ... C, F & G :|
I've seen St. Vincent live twice. The second time was after these guitars had been created and I must say in her hands they make an awesome sound. They just look awesome.
First of, that is one killer design combo! Reminds me of Prince's Mad Cat. I think the St Vincent is one of the nicest guitar designs to have been created in a long time. While every one is creating standard strat/tele/les paul like shapes, its really refreshing to see Ernie Ball/Sterling actually approving this design and making it commercially viable!
Looks like a really cool take on a firebird shape and the contouring is gorgeous. Only thing I feel that doesn't match is the signature Ernie Ball/Sterling headstock, which I'm not a fan of. Always feels a bit like a pin-head.
4:45 absolutely. as a girl, when something typically male-dominated is changed to target me, it turns me off immediately. i don't need some strange female version of something to enjoy it. as a girl who's interested in coding, I felt this quite a bit when I would see girl-only coding classes. they'd do face masks and goof off as if that was necessary for girls. it was very patronizing and uncomfortable to see, even if they meant the best.
that's super interesting. i was only interested in the guitar because annie clark designed it to fit more to a feminine/female body type. i struggle a lot with larger body guitars, and i hadn't found one i really liked until this one. i haven't seen much marketing for it outside of interviews with her and a few demos, and there are (disappointingly) only a few reviews that seem to exist from women who own this guitar. oh well
I actually looked at getting the St. Vincent signature a few years ago. However, because I had the money at the time, I went with a Gretsch White Panther guitar. Everyone asks me do I regret spending the amount of money I did in it. My answer is always the same "No." It is still the guitar I play the most. The St. Vincent is still on my list.
If you invest that kind of money usually you get something good. I got an Albert Lee from MusicMan and it's my most important guitar. Hard to live without it.
I think the bright clean tones of the mini humbuckers would make this a great guitar for ambient music and a badass blues guitar.
I can imagine it doing lots of other things besides the kind of music that St Vincent uses it for. Maybe not metal, but there are guitar heroes who play metal on a Strat.
I'm glad you told me it was limited, because my credit card was about to take a huge hit.
Mary I have been watching you for a year and a half now. You are growing into an amazing artist, presenter. I just absolutely love you. You are very authentic. Keep it real darling. The sky is the limit for you.
Wow - that axe will get your noticed on stage.
No kidding!
I love listening to you speak. You have such a pleasant voice.
Your playing sounds better than ever, Mary. Great, great touch there.
That guitar has one of the very few "new shapes" that actually work well aesthetically, ie it's not a strat or LP clone or one of the wacky flying v type things. Its understated, it really looks good. I would have one if I was going to buy yet another guitar.
I feel you could be reading yellow pages and I still would listen to your voice... ❣
Love how passionate you are 🧡
Great guitar, St Vincent really did a wonderful job with the design. I normally don’t gravitate towards outlandish/flamboyant designs, but I definitely see the beauty in this one and would be happy picking one up at the store
that finish on that guitar with that pickguard and knobs is perfect. the guitar design has a very 60's feel and that color with the leopard print drives the asthetic home even more imo.
Hi Mary! Are you gonna do podcasts again? That’s been my favorite podcast to listen to. That’s a cool guitar!
Mary, having nothing to do with your awesome musical talent, I just have to say that your gift to "monologue", to the camera (audience) is remarkable. What a stellar gift you have, not only for song communication, but for the spoken word. If I were launching a billion dollar project to the world, YOU'D be the person I'd want to announce it!
Oh I love it! Pickgaurd knobs perfection! The colour is spot on too! If I could find one I would rock it! Love your style and playing Mary!
I'm a big fan of everything in this video - Mary, Annie, the guitar and this limited finish. The leopard print knobs and switch are the icing on the cake, so cool. I'd really like a dual humbucker version in the darker blue.
your videos are amazing I am a bass player but i bought a new electric guitar (Yamaha pasifica ) so every time i watch your videos i get motivated to pick it up and play and or practice , thank you.
I am so glad that you are finally doing a video on the St. Vincent!!!!
I have the blue HHH Sterling model and I adore it. Got an insane deal on it and honestly its so good I can't imagine how much better the non Sterling model would have to be to justify the upgrade. I would like the MM tremolo..
I'm in the same boat......started with a good deal on a blue Sterling, and even though I want to upgrade, I can't really justify it. I'll leave it on the list of things to waste money on. I love the new Mariposa too. Such cool steeze !!
Exactly the same story over here. I was set to pay $450 USD for a new one. I bid on a used one, but the shop had already sold it and offered to sell me a new one for the same price. Then it arrived with a bit of the paint on the back damaged due to a pickup screw puncturing through the body, and I got another $50 off. They have some quality control issues that seem to be mostly cosmetic, but for lower-budget guitarists, that just means you can often get them cheaper than regular retail pricing.
And my god, these guitars are just inspiring to play. If anyone reading this is interested in the guitar but can't (like most of us, I imagine) justify spending $2,500 on a guitar, look for the Sterling model and look for a deal on it. After owning an Epiphone SG, an Ibanez semi-hollow, and a Fender MiM semi-hollow Tele with P90's, this was the instrument that got me excited to play again after years of waning inspiration.
@@LukeJLB thats crazy. My main guitar before this (years ago) was a Thinline Deluxe Tele with MP90s. Haha small world.
@@AndrewStottisTheIndiWerWlf That's hilarious! Upon further inspection, that's exactly what I have, it's not actually one of the MiM ones. I just misremembered since the St. Vincent has taken over my guitar-playing life.
@@LukeJLB I think mine was actually made in china as part of the modern player series.
I love the Music Man St. Vincent, it looks so incredible!! Love the tones that you get Mary!!
St. Vincent is such a huge hero of mine! I've lusted after these guitars for years now... those mini-humbuckers sound so good!
Love the Edith Prickley Hat knobs on the pots.
The leopard pickguard is cool, but clashes with the orange colour of the guitar a bit. Maybe if the guitar was beige colour instead it would complement better.
Clash fan are you mate, wait 'til you see the plectrum that goes with it brownie (^)
Well it's the colours of her outfit on the album sleeve so...
@@j_freed thanks, I'm torn between having a pick guard or not. We took them off of Les Paul's back in the day just for playing.
@@cyber-psych2503 i like the pickguard on this, w/o, itd look too much like an iceman imo.
@@beigela Or an orange dreamsicle. :)
That is one purdy guitar. I’ve played one of her signature models and they are just fantastic.
Thank you for sharing that album, it's a breath of fresh air for me. Also that guitar is LOUD cosmetically. Great video!
Snippet of your new single sounds great Mary! Look forward to hearing the full track. Production is super slick 👌
We’re all evolving my luv! Everything u do is amazing! Keep on the journey!
There's one in the music shop way, way south in my city. A friend of mine who works there rang to say it has been sitting there for 6 months. Stealth black. I went down one day and oh my god! I loved it! I don't have that kind of money though. As a relatively new player, I've promised myself that as soon as I can get a good tone out of my current Epiphone ES-339, then I'll splash out on a fancy high end one. But man! If that guitar found it's way into my hands, I would not be sad about it
definitely been wondering about this seeing it in your guitar stand for 3 years haha
Omg i love the neon orange my first Ibanez rg was that Color! And the knobs and pickguard perfect 80s axe!!!
Loving the tones on your playing here!
I wonder if Mary is actually this bubbly and radiant in real life, or if she's just a good "host" on camera.
Watching Mary talk about anything makes me happy. If it's not an act, she's an extremely rare person-- the type of which I've only met 1 or 2 in my life.
Beautiful guitar, Mary. You continue to inspire me.
The color scheme is so outrageous and it completely clashes with Mary's chill personality.
Perfect fit.
It is an amazing guitar. That color only gets better the longer you look at it. The leopard print just fkn works hard with it too. It is just bad ass.
Mary - you are so talented!
these are amazing guitars.. and st vincent is such a legend!
I actually love this guitar, since the moment I first saw one, and I saw St Vincent play a variety of these, in her show in Detroit a couple years ago. The variety that I have played, while maybe a little bit neck heavy, had wonderfully light bodies, and I thought they were rather warm, but I honestly have not put them up next to humbuckers on a Les Paul for example.
I really love the color scheme on this and noticed right off the bat when you first showed it, even the knobs are leopard pattern! While I somehow doubt this was a guitar that Mary will ever like to part with ... if you did oh, I would absolutely be interested. I wonder what I have we might trade to play!?
I met St. Vincent ... like 12 years ago? She was still performing by herself, and she was still amazing. Also, she was very nice and I got to talk to her a couple of minutes by myself before a couple of other people approached her. How times have changed. She deserves it all.
Great demo. Love the guitar.
Orange is my favorite color and THAT shade of orange tops the list. I even like the painted neck.
It’s interesting to look at. Definitely can’t say I’ve seen another guitar like that one, but I can’t say it’s for me.
That guitar design is really cool. Its one of the coolest designs in the last couple decades.
Yes. I have the blackout version. Wonderful guitar - as all Music Man guitars are. Saw it. Played it. Had to have it.
That guitar is so rad! I would love own a St. Vincent signature someday. She's one of the most innovative and interesting musicians around these days.
Love that guitar. It’s amazing. They need to make a bass version with that body type with reverse headstock. It would be incredible.
Very interesting. Sounds pretty amazing. The look and shape asks pretty much ask everything around it to clash just as much.
You make that guitar look perfect!
I love that guitar. The St. Vincent guitars are already very cool, but neon orange? Yes please!
Fantastic looking guitar. I really very much like that pickguard.
1:55 I thought she's gonna play Sepultura-Slave New World :)
By the way, Mary your guitar is amazing. It's orange and limited edition. Very special 😎🤘 and I love it :)
the EBMM St. Vincent is one of the most unique instruments that have come out in a long time. I love it!
Thank you so much Mary! It's very helpful to understand your individual motivations for instrument selection and how to apply unique sounds to songs. What is that final song with credits rolling? Nice!!!
Mary I love you. I am so glad I found your channel :)
ughhhh I wanted the neon blue one so badly!
Loved this shape the first time I saw it. It looks great in every color, but this orange one in particular is my favorite. Matching headstock is great, but I agree that they should've left the neck alone. It's one fine guitfiddle! 🤘
This guitar is the only signature guitar I've ever even considered buying. I don't have one yet, but as soon as I decide on which color and model, I will. I'm definitely getting the three pickups and tremolo, but I can't decide on the black on black or white on blue.
6:22 on one hand, yes, but on the other, The Les Paul.
Considering how many other players have picked up on these guitars, it would be pretty cool for it to have that same kind of legacy in time.
Sounds Very nice. I suppose is because your touch too
The guitar sounds great, I really like the tone in the video.
Great inspiration, sick guitar 👌. Could you possibly make a video about the novation launch pad X (comparisons with others, recommendations etc)?cause I’m considering buying one
Beautiful guitar
I really like the 3 pickup version. I played one a few months ago and thought it played and sounded fantastic.
personally i love the neck matching the body. really cool guitar
I think the orange paint on the neck is rad. Very cool guitar.
Great video mary!! That guitar looks and sounds amazing. And thanks for answering my question :)
I really love my st Vincent with the standard blue finish its amazing guitar, the only electric guitar that I have and use everyday
I wish they made a bass version!!!? nice vid!
I love that guitar!! MM makes some killer instruments.
Thank you for another great video.
I'm thinking of buying the Sterling version of that guitar in blue with the 3 mini humbuckers.
I dont particularly love the StV model, but i do love this one. Love orange, looks great.
That's a really cool guitar, i am very happy for you.
My favourite guitar. Shame you're missing out on the rosewood neck though! It feels like a '60s catalog guitar, except perfectly intonated and way less fragile.
Also, can tell from personal experience that it's comfortable for dad bods.
You got the groove!
Ok, so one of the things I LOVE about guitars is: that my tastes evolve over time. A guitar that I think is awkward or silly looking one year, can easily change into one that I am suddenly in love with and dying to play or acquire. This model is a perfect example of that.
I'm assuming the pickup switch sequence is the same unusual one as my Sterling version, that is, from neck to bridge:
Position 1: Neck + Bridge
Position 2: Neck, Middle + Bridge
Position 3: Neck
Position 4: Middle
Position 5: Bridge
Odd, but good to have the neck + bridge option which many three pickup guitars don't have.
Hey Mary, whats a good guitar for beginners? I am in my 40's and produce electronic music but want to add some live sounds to my productions so keen to learn :)
My wife bought the cherry version of this guitar fitted with gold parts - the orange and fluorescent versions were not available at that time.
The neck is the best that i have ever played and the pickups with their wiring give a real variety of sounds.
That guitar is probably the most versatile in our collection.
However i have a duff left arm and can’t play this guitar while standing as the neck sticks out too far for me. it’s no problem playing sat dow.
So I bought the Albert Lee HH guitar which has exactly the same all rosewood neck and that is dead comfortable. I bought the SSS version too though that has a maple neck and board with the same carve and wax and oil finish.
What I really want is the Albert Lee fitted with the mini humbuckers and wiring from the St Vincent. EBMM are you listening?
The trem stays in tune perfectly and the production quality is consistently high. I’ve bought 6 EBMM guitars now and they are all great.
Very highly recommended.
That blue one from the Jack White clip looks nice 🤔😊
I have an EB version with the Rosewood neck. I LOVE the guitar! I ended up gutting the 250k pots and rewriting it more for my taste(s). Yours sounds pretty bright. Does it have 250k pots still? The thicker tones I got did lend itself well to fuzz. I kept having to re arrange my amp settings. Hence the gutting. Glad I did it.
This guitar series is amazing, they should make the sterling version with these neon colors.
I love the leopard print, but I'd love to see it on a matching brownish paint job. Still, gorgeous instrument. I've been itching for one for a while.
This is my turning 50 guitar. 18 months to go. Can't wait.
Wow, Mary is just bada$$ with that guitar!!!!
Never seen a guitar like this, I like that the cuts are designed to ease playing, and those fret markers are very cool (can't imagine the time it required to make those precise cuts). Next time you show something so weird and unique, please show the back of the guitar, I am now more curious about the whole thing just because I didn't see the back
Probably cut the routes on the fretboard (& the inlays themselves) with a CNC machine, inlayed them before radiusing & fretting
That guitar is fabulous.
Does anyone know what happened to the red versions of these guitars? They aren't on the music man website anymore, but I think they look FANTASTIC with the gold hardware.
God, that’s literally my dream/holy grail guitar. Unfortunate I’ll probably never even see one in person :(
Great video as always Mary! ❤️
Azazel Yes it is, but the chance of one of the orange & leopard print ones being listed is incredibly low.
I definitely like the preview of the new song.
I recently got a Sterling by Music Man guitar and was incredibly surprised by the quality and feel of the instrument, other guitars don't feel the same anymore. Can't wait to get a Music Man!
Great video!
I love the St. Vincent signature. Can't afford one but hopefully one day. I'm hopeful they bring back the color I wanted which is Red Heritage (was shown in this video). Pre Covid made frequent stops at my local guitar center to play a model.
Love the orange and leopard skin pickguard. Would prefer natural finish on neck though.
I almost picked one up at a Guitar Center when I went to take a look at a fender meteora... didn't have the time to do both, but I'm surely going to go back and mess around with it a bit! I particularly like the one you have because if it's hot orange color... and that leopard pickguard is just awesome! go it might ruin the guitar in some ways to remove the paint off the back of that neck, I'd sure be curious... though I probably would never do it! love the shape and I would rock that guitar anywhere! 😎🎸🎹🤘🐦
I loved the design, but, hesitated due to the pricetag. I tried the more budget Sterling by Music Man, but at the start of 2022 I got my hands on a secondhand St Vincent in blue and it is a fabulous guitar! The Sterling is nice, but the Music Man is in a league of its own. Became my absolute number one guitar ever since. It works for Rock, Funk, New Wave and even jazzier tones, once you switch to the neck pickup and roll back the tone.
I do envy you for that campy orange/fur piece, but then again: yes, simply the shape alone makes you feel like a total badass rockstar!!!
