- I've had this guitar for a few days now and wether you like the shape and look or not, you will forget about it really fast because the guitar is phenomenally good! Let me show you....

Why even mention we might not like how it looks? It's a breath of fresh air. I'm sick and tired of everyone having their own strat and tele. For fuck's sake...
That is a beautiful piece of design.
It's a beauty. I don't know what this woman does, and neither do I care. But she's come up with the first Music Man I've every wanted to own.
She's actually a stellar musician and a great guitar player. Regardless of the genres of music you prefer she demands respect.
Agreed. I'm f-in getting one. Definitely the burst. Annie Clark is badass. I don't listen to her but she's an amazing artist. Wouldn't matter to me who made this. It's awesome.
kind of a weird comment to make. took care to specify their gender too.
@@Pepper-cd9yr if she wasnt a woman EBMM would never made her a signature model
@@anthonydavella8350 why woman get thing
This is a gorgeous guitar and a brilliant design. Kudos to Annie Clark for coming up with it and to Ernie Ball for having the.... to build it.
Is there a quirkier guitar being mass produced? Hell yeah, Ernie Ball to a risk on that beauty.
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....)
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.
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!
The lady name is Annie Clarke
Clark*
Just a girl from Oklahoma.
This guitar is gorgeous an sounds great too! This and the Armada are my favorite designs in the Music Man lineup I was never much of a "traditionalist".
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.
sT Vincent studied at berklee
It has a distinct own character. I like when reviewers get seduced by the playability/playing fun of a guitar.
The St Vincent that comes in stealth black is SUPER sexy! I'd just put some black tele knobs on it and your in business!
That clear pick guard on that first guitar is sick
Also the St. Vincent guitar is sick, I’ve always loved it
It looks like St Vincent's stage costume, tbh. I'm quite sure that shape was done intentionally
Looks like something Billy Gibbons might use in a funky blues-rock ZZ Top video.
Great 1st impressions video. I look forward to a review or at least more info on it. Thanks!
looks like a firebird meets a bow tie, nice
The world shall know the fish scale system soon!!
BUT does it come VIT de Finnish Source?
I'll ask my fishscale consultant to look at it
CatPick Studios How many trout to the “soccer field”?
This is really a beautiful guitar that sounds amazing
Wow you're a killer player. I didn't expect that in a review.
Annie Clark is actually quite good...and her uncle is finger style master Tuck Andress.
+ Dan Luna - Really!?! That's very interesting to me from a genetics standpoint, since not everyone can move their fingers like Tuck or Annie, no matter how much they practice.
Oh here it is ! Thanks for the great Review.
Awesome Henning!!
I think that guitar looks stunning, you too Henning btw :p
That guitar is beautiful!
Love this guitar, waiting on my next one to come in :D
Fantastic instrument. Love it.
Great sound and I even love the design
Thanks HP, from the way it sat steady on your knee, it is not a diver. It looks and sounds brilliant!
That’s a gorgeous guitar.
Excellent review!
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.
The more I see, the more I want one - that tele sound is beautiful
Also, excellent playing!
Yeah that guitar goes so good with that sweater and sounds great.
Your timing is perfect Henning!!! I was thinking and looking this morning for this type of review for this guitar! Thank you! Also, I too am not a fan of Gold hardware at all, but with this guitar, and this finish, it is beautiful!! Maybe the only example of gold hardware I've actually liked.
Very nice and objective - thanks!
I love the St. Vincent's shape.
My dream guitar right there :')
I've had this model with the chrome hardware for 3 years. I love it!
In all honesty this man's a legend
I think this guitar looks bitchin' awesome, and I really like how all the details and angles work together.
I'm bored to tears by me-too designs and I hope somebody emulates (== blatantly steals) this guitar shape at an accessible price point.
I think it is a very beautiful guitar, pleasing design.
I have the first release, which was only available in St. Vincent Blue. It reminded me of the old Budweiser bow tie guitar. It's fun.
I REALLY love the shape, but largely prefer the blue one which is simply amazing.
Love it!
Love it, very different.
4:13 "we've got these mother of pearl *probably plastic* looking tuning keys"
I liked that part. A lot
Jesus that thing is so gorgeous (except for the plasticky). And the reversal shot of your setup was cool to see.
I cant wait to buy one within the next 2 months.
I'm not normally a fan of gold hardware either, but something about that combination of shape, hardware, burst and pickguard all REALLY work well together!
This guy is hilarious and I so want that guitar.
Holy cow I want that one!!!
I have a stealth black one on order.So looking forward to getting it in my hands in a week or so's time.
Nothing I would have picked individually, but that guitar really comes together.
I think it looks awesome, especially the stealth model.
I ACTUALLY LIKE IT Haha, it is weird looking, but that's why it's awesome
Yeah, it has a thing, doesn't it? Don't know, but ever since I first seen it I've been kinda curious about it. It's different, It's interesting.
I’ve always loved that design. And btw the tuners work because of the headstock design. No tilt back,strings that go straight after going through the nut.
I loved it at once; the first time I saw it online; saving my money and becoming a better guitarist first...
I....kinda dig it,
Looks fun to play, too.
All I can say is I'm glad Annie has her aesthetic taste and not yours. The body design is beautiful.
all those outstanding amps behind you....bastard!
Man! Or "Mann!" (auf Deutsch) ;-) At the end or just before the very end of the video, I clicked on Leave a comment and started to write something and as I was typing, I heard your voice say exactly what I was typing!!! Well, not exactly but almost. :-) Yeah, I wanted to thank you for not doing like all the other people: plug a fuzz pedal and do the whole review of that guitar playing it with a fuzz pedal! This guitar is very versatile, it's a shame to reduce it to fuzz tones only!!!!
Like I said, I was just about to write what you said but you said it so much better than I could ever have done! You even mentioned Tim and his 20 bucks guitar for his fuzz tone...Perfect! You made a very well made review video, wie immer und, and you played sehr gut! Again, mein Freund, vielen Dank für making this Video and sharing it with the World! Vielen Dank!!!
If only i had watched this video before!
Last week I went to Anderton's and there was this guitar hanging on the wall, dissuaded by the funny shape I didn't even tried it!
Love it
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 think finally three mini hums is the smartest thing since three single coils, and more versatile. Help me if I ever get my hands on one of these
The back covers over the body protects back finish of belt buckle and other scratching.
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.
06:10 I got it Henning😜😜😜, I love you jokes in between. It keep me focus. Thanks man
I love you review so much. Keep the good work.
Thaaaat's... what SHE SAID!!
I had to say it for Henning! : )
That's what friends are for Karolin E. 😜😜😜
Thanks for the heads up on the Schaller locking tuners. I'll stick to my Sperzels.
I think the shape of the guitar is awesome by the way. They have certainly managed to make a unique looking guitar that could still very much be a classic, which is insanely hard. It is certainly in Firebird territory, but much more elegant.
This makes me want to pick up a guitar again.
I think these pickups really bring out the character of my fuzzes. It's definitely interesting. I had to settle for the Sterling version. I think I will eventually put actual Dimarzios in it, though.
I thought it was ridiculous when I first seen it, then I saw it in all black. I liked it... So when I saw the blue again I actually thought that's a bloody nice guitar. I think it looks better in the non-vintagey colours like blue, but I do like that one. Gorgeous neck.
That neck looks great
I wish I could afford one of these especially the sunburst or the blue on it looks like a cooler firebird
I scoured the Earth for a new one in white. It arrives today. I cannot wait.
Update: it’s here! Absolutely love it.
Good review, I agree with your gripes for a $2k guitar.
Geez, I sure do agree about the cover on the back not being recessed!
I really didn't like it at first but but it ended up growing on me.
At first I was like wtf is that?
Now I love it
The sunburst made me think “explorer”. Never thought that before. The blue looks best in my opinion.
Danke brother
If I had the dollar, that is the kind of guitar I would be looking at!
"the neck is held on with a five-point bolty thing"... I'm getting confused with all this technical jargon talk.. LMAO 🤣
Best review. I like the look (got the black one with the white guard, it looks like Klaus Nomi). Fully agree though that it’s shockingly versatile. Only thing I don’t like is the headstock.
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.
Musicman guitars and basses are some of the best in the business...
Gazzy Burns Absolutely. I owned an EBMM Axis Sport several years ago, and it was the best built, best sounding, best playing electric guitar in my stable. I ended up selling it, like an idiot! :(
I do care what it looks like. And it looks DOPE AS F*CK
Awesome guitar, body shape and all. Pitty I can't afford it...
With a black 3 ply pick guard and black knobs that would be gorgeous. And recess the covers.
Hi Henning... I just got a Sterling St Vincent and It's due to You and Annie Clarke
Troy from Alantic City 🌆
Looks great too me, innovative different without being silly. Sounds great too me also. Rosewood neck is going to keep the price of these super high though.
I actually like the gold and sunburst combination, but I don't know what to feel about the shape.
IMO the design is en the same league as Gibson Explorer/ Firebrid. Just damn gorgeous.
I think I like this shape. Not sure, until I open with a jazzy jump Blues working in the Flintstone theme song motif and watch the crowd reaction. Pickguard color needs to be modified though
I would get one of these if they weren't almost 3grand canadian.. Dream guitar forsure.
I can’t believe you said the fretboard markers made you feel like Pete Thorn!
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.
Not a fan of the shape but nice to see someone else have a Morse Y2K model.
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.
