St. Vincent unveils her signature Ernie Ball guitar, and it's a thing of beauty

Annie Clark has done North Texas proud in her role as pop provocateur and guitar goddess St. Vincent, going so far earlier this year as to snatch up the alt-music album Grammy. Oh yeah, and she upstaged Taylor Swift at Swift's own show the other night in LA. But forget all that. There's a new development today that pretty much cements Clark's guitar-hero status in music. Ernie Ball has worked with her to design a signature St. Vincent electric axe.

Available to ship to covetous diehards and serious players alike, the "St. Vincent signature" comes in slick black or, our favorite, a custom color dubbed "Vincent blue" that was hand-mixed by Clark. She also had a lot to do with the design of the instrument, joking in an Instagram post today that its no-frills shape makes room "for a breast ... or two."

And not to keep bringing up Taylor Swift, but Clark was playing her signature guitar (the black edition) on stage during that fateful concert cameo earlier in the week. How's that for a soft opening? If only the guitar came with safe-for-home pyrotechnics ...
