    I think it looks fantastic, especially the red and blue variants. I love that they're going for a very non-standard body shape. If I was looking to drop $2k on a guitar this would be in the conversation.

      Yeah, the blue StVincent and the pink Albert Lee are both on my wish list.
      I don't get all the hate for the shapes, the world would be boring if we only had Strats and Les Pauls.
      I have a Les Paul sat next to me right now and although I would like to get a better one someday, I don't ever see myself needing two or more, I would rather have four or five completely different guitars (or six or seven....)

  • @davidkieltyka9
    @davidkieltyka9 6 років тому +36

    I got a St. Vincent in blue when they first came out. It’s a killer! Five great sounds, very well made & put together. Neck feels lovely. I personally think it looks cool too. :)
    The knobs and pickguard are intended, I think, to give the guitar some 1950s kitschy Bakelite vibe. Annie Clark (St. Vincent) played an old Harmony model for awhile, and 2nd/3rd-tier guitars like that typically use cheap plastic knobs.

  • @IPushHard
    @IPushHard 6 років тому +8

    People aren't all that familiar with mini hums because they aren't used that often, but I've always liked them. They have an accented "gnarl" as compared to normal humbuckers.
    A slightly smaller pickup field brings it back towards almost a P90 tone. Really though, it's it's own thing...again much like a p90.
    I like the entire design of the guitar, and all respect to St.Vincent and Music Man for bringing the first truly unique guitar to be released in a long time to market. I think that in one form or another this guitar will last quite a while. It's a keeper.
    Thanks for the great video!

      @evetsnitram8866 6 років тому +4

      It looks great on Annie! The raised plastic on the back is like a Strat and they came with one ply pick guards originally too. The guitar does have some Strat sensibilities and also looks like a cross between a Gibson Firebird and Explorer. Annie is geared more towards the stranger sounds vs. shredding so hence the limited fret access near the higher frets. I've yet to see one in a music store though.

    Great sonic walk-through, thanks! Henning nails it - the reviews do not do enough justice to the guitar. When the details are considered, as well as its full spectrum, as well as the cleans, this is a fantastic sounding axe! On the other hand, we have to give kudos to EB for keeping the promo videos in line with St. Vincent's stylistics - a nice touch, for sure.
    Overall, this instrument requires us to make some effort into researching it; what one can find after scratching a bit of surface, so to speak, is quite astonishing. I am eyeing on this axe.

    Great review. BTW, the cost of recessing the rear covers is not due to the routing, it's due to the difficulty in finishing the edges perfectly without wood tearout or buffing through the finish on the edges. Here, the edges of the hole are covered so imperfections caused by sanding and buffing are irrelevant, and the process can be done much more quickly/efficiently.

    I love the St Vincent Model. So many guitars are all the same, but it's different. The one thing is that I'm a big guy at 6'5" (196 cm) and I think the body would be a bit small. I've also heard that it's a bit neck heavy. So honestly if they made a model with a larger body it would be something I REALLY want. That or a purple HH Albert Lee. A bigger body on the St. Vincent with a purple burst, oh lordie.

    The Sterling St Vincent has a maple neck, and is $599. I'd love to meet one in a pawn shop someday. To inset the back covers on a CNC machine would take more like 15 - 20 seconds rather than 2 minutes. If I complained about anything it would be the headstock but I'd probably get used to it. Even though I don't play anymore I have a guitar crush the blue one with a maple neck.

    I think if the pick guard was smaller (maybe an offset pentagon: the same as it is at the bottom and back but from the top back corner coming down in a straight edge parallel to the bottom and ending at the 20th fret area) it would look a lot nicer as it would leave a triangle of wood at the front that would really highlight its oddity. Imo.
    It definitely fits the sound I would go for but I can't see myself paying so much for it. But still, it's interesting.

    Nice review. I loved the design when I first saw it, but, honestly, Music Man is just too expensive.
    Luckily, Sterling by Music Man has the model for something around 850,- Euro.
    I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I can highly recommend it - great design, great tones and an incredibly comfortable neck!
    I thought I was done with solidbodies, but this is the the first solidbody that excites me since 10 years.
