The St. Vincent Signature Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar in “Vincent Blue”
St. Vincent, who was just hanging with Taylor Swift and Beck, has designed a guitar for Ernie Ball and its nearly as angular as her music:
I’m extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity to design a guitar this personal with this company, this family, in whom I believe so completely. The entirety of my experience as a guitarist is invested in this instrument. I sought to create a tool that would help and inspire those who share my priorities in a guitar, namely that it be comfortable and lightweight and that it exhibit clean lines, all without sacrificing tone flexibility. It is with pride that I present the St. Vincent Signature Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar.
Annie Clark designed it with help from Ernie Ball engineers, who offer up some spec details for the axe:
Crafted in Ernie Ball Music Man’s San Luis Obispo, California factory, the St. Vincent signature is available in black or custom Vincent Blue, a color hand-mixed by Annie. Featuring an African mahogany body, Ernie Ball Music Man tremolo, gunstock oil and hand-rubbed rosewood neck and fingerboard, St. Vincent inlays, Schaller locking tuners, 5-way pick up selector with custom configuration and 3-mini humbuckers, the guitar also comes complete with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky guitar strings.
St. Vincent Signature Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar comes in Black or “Vincent Blue” and will be available in early 2016. It’ll run you $1,899 and pre-orders are being taken.
