  • The Music Man St. Vincent is an extremely strong design that might not even appeal to you until you play one and then you are hooked! Sterling has a more affordable version and I have long wanted to check it out in Comparsion to the much more expensive Music Man model.

    I think this is such an iconic and cool design, whether it's EBMM or SBMM - they both work beautifully.

    Officially my favorite guitar gear review channel. Love the honesty and the companies don't seem to mind getting a tongue lashing for a 1/3rd of the video. In fact, they seem to encourage it with the demo guitars they send you. Many of your contemporaries could learn a thing or two about the value of honesty.

    My EBMM St Vincent with 3 mini humbuckers and full rosewood neck is probably the best guitar I have. It plays easy, is comfortable to hold, and makes great sounds. Despite the light weight it has tone for days and sustains like a beast.

    The new ST St. Vincent (gold&burgundy) are gorgeous looking and they have 3 mini humbucker aswell ❤ But no sinked in backplates again. And a pricetag of 1.200€ here in Europe for a Indonesian made instrument 😮 That‘s a tough ask - very tough.
    Hopefully Musik Meyer get one for you to test again 🙏🏻

    My Music Man St V is my favourite guitar. I love the look and it’s been endlessly inspiring. Possibly the guitar I would keep if I had to only do it with one.
    The Sterlings are fine, look great, like the finishes! I just feel that any HH from Sterling is pretty much the same guitar in different shapes.

    Hey Henning, I dont know if you have ever played the sterling luke model but they are awesome guitars. if you never played one you should definately get hold of one and review it!

    I was thrilled with the design when I first saw it back in 2016 or 2017, but the Music Man price was way above what I wanted to spend.
    The Sterling is a nice option, although mine has 3 flaws: the string-spacing for the high e is VERY close to the edge of the neck; the pickup-mounting is flawed, the screws for the middle and neck pickup unvoluntarily turn AND the pickup selector switch is wobbly and unprecise. All rather minor flaws, but for slightly less than 900 €, there should be better quality control.
    Anyway I got a Music Man St Vincent secondhand lately and there is enough of a difference to justify going for the original. This one is perfect. The best neck I ever played, great and comfortable playing, no neck dive, great sounds. I'm still not willing to pay around 2900 €, but I got it for 1750 € and that's absolutely a bargain.

    I love the MM version, and have wanted to get one since day one.
    Only problem is - I am 6'2, 200#, so they look like a 3/4 scale guitar on me.

      This is one of the only times that being 5’5”, 125lbs comes in very handy. I’ve been an MM exclusive player after I was fortunate enough to take an MM factory tour w/ Curt Mangan in ‘98, who was Sterling’s right hand man until his boys were old enough to join the business. I played an Axis Super Sport w/ MM 90’s that was a prototype in one of their playing rooms and asked Sterling if I could have one EXACTLY like it. Two or so months later the guitar arrived and my love affair w/ MusicMan started. A couple of years later I bought an Axis Sport w/ humbuckers, coil splits & a piezo, which became my most versatile guitar. I played those two guitars for 20+ years and then saw and played the Mariposa, bought it, fell super in love w/ it and then went crazy and bought a Valentine and most recently a Sterling Valentine Chambered model, which I love as well. Lightweight, versatile p/u configs, and a push-push 12dB boost. The neck needed an adjustment to get the action where I like it but that’s it. Does it feel like an MM Valentine? No, it’s a little different but not in a bad way. Does it have the coil tap of the MM version? No, but honestly, I don’t really miss it. W/ the single coil in the neck, you can get great tones in the middle position. Gotta give Sterling some credit! If I can get a Sterling 3 p/u St. Vincent, I’m in.

      It’s a great dadbod guitar! I thought it would be comedically small, but it’s a longer guitar than I expected.

    I noticed your very sweet amp head display in the back, do you get any heat build up from the heads being so close to the wood? What amp switcher do you use on all those amp heads to go from head to head? Thanks.

    Mary Spender also has a Musicman limited edition in orange with a leopard print pickguard and knobs. She is very fond of it.
    I have doubted about Sterling version, but if I listen to what you are saying they should have done a little better to bridge the $2000 gap.
    The problem is: would people buy it if it was a 1k instrument?

  • @southpawOO7
    @southpawOO7 2 роки тому +3

    That was actually misreporting early on that it was designed for a woman's body. She was making a joke about the guitar and the press ran with it and it kind of stuck. It was really just a take on the firebird explorer type body.

    HP, I totally agree about the covers not being set into the body, it's a cheap ass move.
    The start of the video made me miss my Beagle, he died 6 months ago, a heartbreaker for us here.

    Na ja, über Geschmack soll man ja nicht streiten. Ich dachte immer das Paul Gilbert die hässlichsten Gitarrenmodelle hat...auflackierte F Löcher...oder später diese umgedrehte Iceman Persiflage. Doch dann kommt ein Music Man Designer und sagt...Hold my beer! 😉👍
