St. Vincent (Extremely) Limited Edition Signature Guitar

When I saw a special announcement about the St. Vincent guitar I hoped it might be about a new, less expensive, offshore model. No such luck, but if I had the cash, I’d go for the orange with leopard skin – no contest.

One thought on “St. Vincent (Extremely) Limited Edition Signature Guitar

  1. the MusicMan St.Vincent is said to have been designed for St.Vincent’s own best fit and comfort, but it’s one of the most comfortable and wearable guitars even to the old fatso of mine!

    i find it is one of the few, fresh takes on guitar design appeared in recent years that is not ashamed of its retro-like look, which does not try to mock historic designs, and which does not attempt to look novel at any cost (or in the wake of H.R.Giger’s Alien-inspired shapes and proportions).

    i would dream, too, of an offshore-made batch to be sold at about six or seven hundred bucks list, because in the end it’s a bolt-on neck thing, with a double-pivot trem bridge and three mini-hbs.

    Korean-made Parkers sported a lot on board in this very price range, piezo-saddles and active electronics included, along with Parker-style tremolo and a set neck… so it might be feasible, in principle.

    still, it doesn’t mean i could easily afford one either, but as dreaming isn’t being charged, yet, at least a lot of others might afford one at this price (and thus increase my chances to find a pre-owned at a price that i, too, could afford, though a few years ahead in time).

    one hopes the Ernie Ball whole marketing team avidly reads Guitar Moderne pages…
    ain’t this dreaming of a better future, too?
