Ernie Ball, the world's premier manufacturer of musical instruments, guitar strings and accessories, today announced an imaginative new signature guitar with GRAMMY® award-winning musician and guitarist St. Vincent. Envisioned and designed by St. Vincent with support from the award-winning engineering team at Ernie Ball Music Man, the unique electric guitar was crafted to perfectly fit her form, playing technique and personal style. 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 debuted the guitar to the world as she took the stage at Taylor Swift's Los Angeles concert this Tuesday to perform alongside Swift and legendary musician Beck. The St. Vincent Signature Ernie Ball Music Man guitar will retail for $1899 and is available for pre-order at www.music-man.com. "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," says Annie Clark (St. Vincent). "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." "Developing the St. Vincent model with Annie has been a highlight of my career," says Sterling Ball, CEO, Ernie Ball Music Man. "In addition to being one of the finest guitar players I've worked with over the past 30 years, she's equally, if not more, gifted as a guitar designer. I'm incredibly proud Annie chose us to help realize her vision. We're honored to have her as part of our family." About Ernie Ball About St. Vincent
