Disruption by Design: The Ernie Ball Music Man St. Vincent Signature Guitar

Annie Clark discusses the importance of disassociating from her St. Vincent stage persona in her creative process, writing her latest MASSEDUCTION album, preparing for her FEAR THE FUTURE tour, and designing the newest iterations of her Ernie Ball Music Man signature guitar.

The St. Vincent signature guitar features a lightweight African mahogany body, premium roasted maple neck with rosewood, ebony or maple fretboard. The roasted maple neck is highly figured and is adorned with St. Vincent signature custom inlays. Specially configured electronics package includes your choice of either three Dimarzio mini-humbuckers or the all-new custom-designed Ernie Ball Music Man dual humbucking pickups. Both feature a 5-way pickup selector for a unique offering of tonal options. New for 2018 colors include Charcoal Sparkle, Blue Dawn, Stealth Black, and Sea Breeze.

I love that St. Vincent, a relatively poppy and underground-for-being-famous artist, has created a guitar that is so beloved to people of all genders and genres. Badass.

The only other artist I've heard talking so enthusiastically about music itself was Björk. In two different ways, these women want to work as hard as they can to create something unique and expand it

[gradaloo]

It's exhilarating to hear her articulate what I've always had to infer from hints about her process and her self. I think it's the rare artist that also has a deep intelligence they can deploy to create their 'product'. She makes me think of 'engineer as pop star'.

Annie is such a weird and interesting person with a unique sound. Seeing her experimenting with everything that people wouldn't expect from her makes us love her music even more and I appreciate and adore her for putting it out.

This signature model has grown on me. I like the Strat, Tele, LP's but this is a design i would own. I really pushed it away when i first saw it. Funny how that is. Music Man has got style and original stuff. Nice.

I appreciate the way you address ego and how people can go overboard. Tremendous insight!

[jaclynjohnston]

Spoken like a true entrepreneur. She is amazingly talented, love her!

I have no time for most 'Celebrities' or their personalities or attitudes..
Annie is such a refreshing change.
I have all the time in the world for people like her.

[ichkaodko]

for outsider like me, Annie Clark is a national treasure of US

[seanrosedotcom]

Absolutely the coolest guitar designed and made since the Tele, Stat and Les Paul dropped in the 1950s. Bar none. And her new show was flat out amazing. Saw her up close at Boston Calling and it was blow my mind fantastic. Loved all the wild custom colors she had too...

[alejandroangeles]

Honestly, I think this is the best new guitar design of the last decade. Not just another variation of an iconic Fender/ Gibson model...

[gregshaw]

Annie, my friend is i think the only person to have the neon orange, leopard print and I'm super jealous. you even played with him and Steve Vai! thank you for all that you do!

0:13 gotta love that legendary wonky eye

[MrUndersolo]

Met her after an early show in her career. Nice lady, and badass. Glad she has her own axe out there!

[Alchemetica]

I came to your music late in the piece and have come to hear how your works are so talented and creative. Plus as both St VIncent and Annie you are so cute :-)

[NJSmithMusic]

She reminds me of Jack White a good bit, but more future minded and matter of fact in her speaking.

I just got the ebony/black sparkle model. Easily the nicest instrument I've ever played. It's so easy to play well.
IF EB made the fluorescent Orange a production, I'd probably own 2

Can’t wait to get my HHH model in original colour

[timothyweiss]

Miss Clark you are beautiful and your guitar nicely accentuats your inner
