Music Man St Vincent - First Jam

I seized a chance to spend some time with an Ernie Ball Music Man St Vincent today, brand new, straight out of the box. It's definitely one of the most intriguing and beguiling guitars I've ever played. It does not give up its charms easily, which is why I'm a little bit in love with it - it has mystique.

I'll put it into rock mode over the coming days as I think it will have no trouble delivering a mean crunch with the combination of mahogany body, rosewood neck and those mini humbuckers. And it is SO comfortable.

Today's tools:

Guitar: 2016 Ernie Ball Music Man St Vincent
Amp: HIWATT DR103 and Fane Cab (Fractal Axe-FX II XL+)
Extra effects: Compressor, Tube Driver, Reverb, Delays (All Axe FX)

Easily the best demo of this guitar so far, sounds incredible

Absolutely gorgeous tones and playing. I recently played a Musicman St Vincent and was totally blown away (hence my coming to watch these videos), If it wasn’t for the Turquoise sparkle finish and 3 grand price tag I’d have probably bought it there and then!

Gorgeous demo. Thanks for all the position switching; that gives a great overview of the available tones.

Man, I am liking this axe more, with every video showcasing its range of applications & I dig the looks. A great demo!

Hi Brett, what a GREAT sound and feeling! Thank you so much. I wish all the best

[revol]

That's some smooth playing there. Very nice.

[WinfriedSitte]

Thanks for the two demos Brett. Love the shape and it seems to deliver lusch goodness in the tone department too.... Want.

Burgs, this might be my favorite video that you've uploaded. ever. And I've been a fan before Sadie was a star. Fantastic playing, incredible feel, great touch.

[ApeLikeCreature]

Sweet, round, full tone! Beautiful playing...a very Beckish 70ish vibe to it.

[tremoloking]

Such relief to hear someone demo a guitar without being a freaking poseur. THANK YOU!

[brianjenkins]

[NotNotKenny]

Donald Fagen singing popped into my head for whatever reason while listening to this.Very nice.

[richardmelvin]

You have a way of making every neck pickup sound incredible.

[MrDavee]

That track, and your tasteful playing was reminiscent of an old favourite. Jeff Beck, The Pump. Beautiful looking guitar with a bit of it's own tone. Very nice.

[glassslide]

Some great tones, but Burgs, you are an excellent player, love listening to all your demos.

[fredn]

This guitar has grown on me so much definitely love it sounds awesome. Kind of like a modern-day Bo Diddley type guitar.again it sounds fantastic and the ones I've seen and played just seem great

[madcap]

Best Guitar Ive Played in Years !!! Love it

[teruki]

Sounds great! Awesome player! The guitar looks really good on your hand man!

[rkharper]

played one 2 weeks ago, love everything about it, but the nutwidth seemed so small compared to what I'm used. definitely one of the best designs in recent years.

[TheSlandis]

This guy could probably make a sack of crabs sound good, but I do like that guitar. It's on my wish list.
