First glimpse of St Vincent Porto

My first thoughts are "wow that's very unique and creative" my follow up thoughts are "I really like it." From what I can see is a cross between an Albert lee and and armada? Maybe very hard edged lines... Don't know but I like the designs.
 
As I said in another post, MM is daring to offer radically new shapes! They don't recycle standards from the 60's.
It's definetly a cross between an armada and the AL but with an extra "angle" on the upper horn.
Looking forward to fully discover it !

PS

BP wasn't lying!!! It's very different!
 
It looks verry different from annything we've seen before. Wich makes it cool. And as stated above, not another re-design of the classics. Not sure if i will ever fall for it but the albert lee kind of grew on me too so who knows.... I'm curious about the pickups and electronics in this one.
 
I wonder how the design process for this guitar went/goes
Does the Artist come with a drawing of the Rough shape?
I'd like to see a better pic of that Guitar. Looks very different indeed but not bad
 
St Vincent, Drew and I were the team on this. This is Annies original sketch that was interpreted by drew and then Annie and I worked together. This was the most invigorating and fun instrument I have ever done. She is truly gifted..she has a total knack for style and design.
 
In the last video, aside from the energy of the event itself, she looks really happy to playing it (no surprise). There's a point were she looks down at it, and when she looks back up she has a Mona Lisa smile.

Can't wait to see more!
 
there are additional pics and videos all over the interwebs...

the bridge does appear to be something of the Majesty vein...

it looks like a full size humbucker in the bridge and minis in the middle and neck.

the butt of the guitar appears to have a slight taper to a point so similar to an armada but with a bit of a point to it... very well balanced looking visually...

i'd be curious to the neck shape since she has more petite hands will the shape be a smaller profile...

i really like the design...
 
The shape is unlike anything I've seen before! I second Spud, some pics would be appreciated.
 
Thanks BP my wife and I stayed up waiting for Twitter to blow up. We both were stoked to see the design and share. Hope ha didn't mind.
