Leopard Print Pickguard? This Guitar is Outrageous. 

I have one of the these too. This guitar is actually so underratted, so versatile, amazing neck. One of its kind.

I'm glad you told me it was limited, because my credit card was about to take a huge hit.

I've seen St. Vincent live twice. The second time was after these guitars had been created and I must say in her hands they make an awesome sound. They just look awesome.

I actually looked at getting the St. Vincent signature a few years ago. However, because I had the money at the time, I went with a Gretsch White Panther guitar. Everyone asks me do I regret spending the amount of money I did in it. My answer is always the same "No." It is still the guitar I play the most. The St. Vincent is still on my list.

Id like to think I played a small role in your new affinity for fuzz...

First of, that is one killer design combo! Reminds me of Prince's Mad Cat. I think the St Vincent is one of the nicest guitar designs to have been created in a long time. While every one is creating standard strat/tele/les paul like shapes, its really refreshing to see Ernie Ball/Sterling actually approving this design and making it commercially viable! Looks like a really cool take on a firebird shape and the contouring is gorgeous. Only thing I feel that doesn't match is the signature Ernie Ball/Sterling headstock, which I'm not a fan of. Always feels a bit like a pin-head.

Wow - that axe will get your noticed on stage.

Mary I have been watching you for a year and a half now. You are growing into an amazing artist, presenter. I just absolutely love you. You are very authentic. Keep it real darling. The sky is the limit for you.

That guitar has one of the very few "new shapes" that actually work well aesthetically, ie it's not a strat or LP clone or one of the wacky flying v type things. Its understated, it really looks good. I would have one if I was going to buy yet another guitar.

I think the bright clean tones of the mini humbuckers would make this a great guitar for ambient music and a badass blues guitar. I can imagine it doing lots of other things besides the kind of music that St Vincent uses it for. Maybe not metal, but there are guitar heroes who play metal on a Strat.

I feel you could be reading yellow pages and I still would listen to your voice... ❣ Love how passionate you are 🧡

I love listening to you speak. You have such a pleasant voice.

Hi Mary! Are you gonna do podcasts again? That’s been my favorite podcast to listen to. That’s a cool guitar!

The color scheme is so outrageous and it completely clashes with Mary's chill personality. Perfect fit.

I have the blue HHH Sterling model and I adore it. Got an insane deal on it and honestly its so good I can't imagine how much better the non Sterling model would have to be to justify the upgrade. I would like the MM tremolo..

Great guitar, St Vincent really did a wonderful job with the design. I normally don’t gravitate towards outlandish/flamboyant designs, but I definitely see the beauty in this one and would be happy picking one up at the store

4:45 absolutely. as a girl, when something typically male-dominated is changed to target me, it turns me off immediately. i don't need some strange female version of something to enjoy it. as a girl who's interested in coding, I felt this quite a bit when I would see girl-only coding classes. they'd do face masks and goof off as if that was necessary for girls. it was very patronizing and uncomfortable to see, even if they meant the best.

I love the Music Man St. Vincent, it looks so incredible!! Love the tones that you get Mary!!

It is an amazing guitar. That color only gets better the longer you look at it. The leopard print just fkn works hard with it too. It is just bad ass.

That is one purdy guitar. I’ve played one of her signature models and they are just fantastic.

Mary, having nothing to do with your awesome musical talent, I just have to say that your gift to "monologue", to the camera (audience) is remarkable. What a stellar gift you have, not only for song communication, but for the spoken word. If I were launching a billion dollar project to the world, YOU'D be the person I'd want to announce it!

that finish on that guitar with that pickguard and knobs is perfect. the guitar design has a very 60's feel and that color with the leopard print drives the asthetic home even more imo.

Oh I love it! Pickgaurd knobs perfection! The colour is spot on too! If I could find one I would rock it! Love your style and playing Mary!

I'm a big fan of everything in this video - Mary, Annie, the guitar and this limited finish. The leopard print knobs and switch are the icing on the cake, so cool. I'd really like a dual humbucker version in the darker blue.

your videos are amazing I am a bass player but i bought a new electric guitar (Yamaha pasifica ) so every time i watch your videos i get motivated to pick it up and play and or practice , thank you.

Snippet of your new single sounds great Mary! Look forward to hearing the full track. Production is super slick 👌

I wonder if Mary is actually this bubbly and radiant in real life, or if she's just a good "host" on camera. Watching Mary talk about anything makes me happy. If it's not an act, she's an extremely rare person-- the type of which I've only met 1 or 2 in my life.

Your playing sounds better than ever, Mary. Great, great touch there.

I am so glad that you are finally doing a video on the St. Vincent!!!!

This is my turning 50 guitar. 18 months to go. Can't wait.

There's one in the music shop way, way south in my city. A friend of mine who works there rang to say it has been sitting there for 6 months. Stealth black. I went down one day and oh my god! I loved it! I don't have that kind of money though. As a relatively new player, I've promised myself that as soon as I can get a good tone out of my current Epiphone ES-339, then I'll splash out on a fancy high end one. But man! If that guitar found it's way into my hands, I would not be sad about it

St. Vincent is such a huge hero of mine! I've lusted after these guitars for years now... those mini-humbuckers sound so good!

definitely been wondering about this seeing it in your guitar stand for 3 years haha

Thank you for sharing that album, it's a breath of fresh air for me. Also that guitar is LOUD cosmetically. Great video!

Those inlays on camera made me think I was drunk, lol.

We’re all evolving my luv! Everything u do is amazing! Keep on the journey!

I met St. Vincent ... like 12 years ago? She was still performing by herself, and she was still amazing. Also, she was very nice and I got to talk to her a couple of minutes by myself before a couple of other people approached her. How times have changed. She deserves it all.

It’s interesting to look at. Definitely can’t say I’ve seen another guitar like that one, but I can’t say it’s for me.

Omg i love the neon orange my first Ibanez rg was that Color! And the knobs and pickguard perfect 80s axe!!!

Love the Edith Prickley Hat knobs on the pots.

these are amazing guitars.. and st vincent is such a legend!

That guitar design is really cool. Its one of the coolest designs in the last couple decades.

This guitar is the only signature guitar I've ever even considered buying. I don't have one yet, but as soon as I decide on which color and model, I will. I'm definitely getting the three pickups and tremolo, but I can't decide on the black on black or white on blue.

Very interesting. Sounds pretty amazing. The look and shape asks pretty much ask everything around it to clash just as much.

Mary - you are so talented!

Great demo. Love the guitar.

Fantastic looking guitar. I really very much like that pickguard.

I actually love this guitar, since the moment I first saw one, and I saw St Vincent play a variety of these, in her show in Detroit a couple years ago. The variety that I have played, while maybe a little bit neck heavy, had wonderfully light bodies, and I thought they were rather warm, but I honestly have not put them up next to humbuckers on a Les Paul for example. I really love the color scheme on this and noticed right off the bat when you first showed it, even the knobs are leopard pattern! While I somehow doubt this was a guitar that Mary will ever like to part with ... if you did oh, I would absolutely be interested. I wonder what I have we might trade to play!?

Beautiful guitar, Mary. You continue to inspire me.

I really like the 3 pickup version. I played one a few months ago and thought it played and sounded fantastic.

Loving the tones on your playing here!

Loved this shape the first time I saw it. It looks great in every color, but this orange one in particular is my favorite. Matching headstock is great, but I agree that they should've left the neck alone. It's one fine guitfiddle! 🤘

"i made a guitar out of 10000 carrots"

......The Last Dinner Party are a band that use that guitar quite a lot.....every show in their coming UK tour is sold out, they're doing quite well.....

never seen you play anything distorted

Sounds Very nice. I suppose is because your touch too

That guitar is so rad! I would love own a St. Vincent signature someday. She's one of the most innovative and interesting musicians around these days.

Mary I love you. I am so glad I found your channel :)

Love that guitar. It’s amazing. They need to make a bass version with that body type with reverse headstock. It would be incredible.

You make that guitar look perfect!

ughhhh I wanted the neon blue one so badly!

I can't tell if that guitar is Hunter or prey

beautiful guitar

Yes. I have the blackout version. Wonderful guitar - as all Music Man guitars are. Saw it. Played it. Had to have it.

Beautiful guitar

Thank you for another great video.

Ok, so one of the things I LOVE about guitars is: that my tastes evolve over time. A guitar that I think is awkward or silly looking one year, can easily change into one that I am suddenly in love with and dying to play or acquire. This model is a perfect example of that.

the EBMM St. Vincent is one of the most unique instruments that have come out in a long time. I love it!

The dots hurt me

I really love my st Vincent with the standard blue finish its amazing guitar, the only electric guitar that I have and use everyday

1:55 I thought she's gonna play Sepultura-Slave New World :) By the way, Mary your guitar is amazing. It's orange and limited edition. Very special 😎🤘 and I love it :)

Orange is my favorite color and THAT shade of orange tops the list. I even like the painted neck.

Great video mary!! That guitar looks and sounds amazing. And thanks for answering my question :)

I'm thinking of buying the Sterling version of that guitar in blue with the 3 mini humbuckers.

My favourite guitar. Shame you're missing out on the rosewood neck though! It feels like a '60s catalog guitar, except perfectly intonated and way less fragile. Also, can tell from personal experience that it's comfortable for dad bods.

That's a really cool guitar, i am very happy for you.

Love the orange and leopard skin pickguard. Would prefer natural finish on neck though.

I wish they made a bass version!!!? nice vid!

They somehow made a guitar that actually LOOKS like St. Vincent, but also is just cool on its own. Really impressive.

God, that’s literally my dream/holy grail guitar. Unfortunate I’ll probably never even see one in person :( Great video as always Mary! ❤️

That blue one from the Jack White clip looks nice 🤔😊

My wife bought the cherry version of this guitar fitted with gold parts - the orange and fluorescent versions were not available at that time. The neck is the best that i have ever played and the pickups with their wiring give a real variety of sounds. That guitar is probably the most versatile in our collection. However i have a duff left arm and can’t play this guitar while standing as the neck sticks out too far for me. it’s no problem playing sat dow. So I bought the Albert Lee HH guitar which has exactly the same all rosewood neck and that is dead comfortable. I bought the SSS version too though that has a maple neck and board with the same carve and wax and oil finish. What I really want is the Albert Lee fitted with the mini humbuckers and wiring from the St Vincent. EBMM are you listening? The trem stays in tune perfectly and the production quality is consistently high. I’ve bought 6 EBMM guitars now and they are all great. Very highly recommended.

I dont particularly love the StV model, but i do love this one. Love orange, looks great.

Yep ... that is one GROOVY guitar .!!

I love that guitar. The St. Vincent guitars are already very cool, but neon orange? Yes please!

Thank's.

That guitar is fabulous.

I loved the design, but, hesitated due to the pricetag. I tried the more budget Sterling by Music Man, but at the start of 2022 I got my hands on a secondhand St Vincent in blue and it is a fabulous guitar! The Sterling is nice, but the Music Man is in a league of its own. Became my absolute number one guitar ever since. It works for Rock, Funk, New Wave and even jazzier tones, once you switch to the neck pickup and roll back the tone. I do envy you for that campy orange/fur piece, but then again: yes, simply the shape alone makes you feel like a total badass rockstar!!!

The guitar sounds great, I really like the tone in the video.

I definitely like the preview of the new song.

personally i love the neck matching the body. really cool guitar

Wow, Mary is just bada$$ with that guitar!!!!

6:22 on one hand, yes, but on the other, The Les Paul. Considering how many other players have picked up on these guitars, it would be pretty cool for it to have that same kind of legacy in time.

You got the groove!

Very cool vid!

I think the orange paint on the neck is rad. Very cool guitar.

Great video!

I love that guitar!! MM makes some killer instruments.

Still waiting for a BFR HH with a figured top, have a normal HH and it's so f***ing good

This guitar series is amazing, they should make the sterling version with these neon colors.
