Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to be able to offer up Ernie Ball Music Man's exclusive line of Ball Family Reserve instruments. When it's a BFR, you can just feel the extra attention to the details that went into it. The guitar is aesthetically unique and has a sophisticated level of refinement to it that helps set it apart from all the rest.
Ernie Ball's release of the Music Man St. Vincent represents yet another collaboration between the company's finest engineers and an established artist with a vision for a signature instrument. This St. Vincent model is really cool and a nice addition to their lineup since it's so different from other offerings they have. Of course, most people will first be drawn to the unique and intriguing shape of the body. The guitar has a radical look, but worry not, comfort is still a priority. It balances well with a strap and the neck is extremely comfortable. It's not too thin and has a very comfortable nut width that allows for comfortable chording or playing lead lines down in the lower registers.
The 3 DiMarzio Mini Humbuckers are full of tones that can range from crisp, airy, and clean, to fat and punchy for more overdriven sounds. The custom pickup selector allows you to use the neck and bridge pups, all three pups, or any one of the three mini humbuckers. The result is a wealth of very musical and usable tones right under your fingertips. The mini humbuckers have a bit more focus to them and sound punchier than traditional humbuckers. They also sound a bit less compressed than many humbuckers and have a slightly more open and airy character to them. Almost like a heavy-duty P-90 on steroids.
The playability of the roasted flame maple neck is just unbelievable. The rosewood fretboard adds some warmth to the overall sound. The craftsmanship and construction quality is noteworthy from top to bottom and you're not likely to ever run into someone else with this same guitar as there will only be 87 of them distributed throughout the entire world. The control plate is also autographed by St. Vincent, herself.
Item Details
The St Vincent Ball Family Reserve edition guitar comes with an exclusive Turquoise Crush sparkle finish.
