A versatile tone with the Goldie
A trio of gold foil mini humbucker pickups are incorporated in your guitar, infusing your sound with a distinctive and unique character. These electronics produce clean and clear voicing, with a warm and subtle undertone that adds depth to your notes. The humbuckers are an excellent choice for those who require versatility in their sound, and with the 5-way switching, you can experiment with a variety of different tones to find the perfect sound for your playing style.
From a deep, rich tone to a bright, punchy sound, the combinations of the pickups and switch options are limitless, allowing you to explore and discover entirely new sounds that you never thought possible before. Whether you play blues, jazz, rock or heavy metal, you create the unique sound and style that you've been searching for.
Exquisite playability
Playing guitar is all about the quality of the instrument, and that is where the Goldie comes in. This guitar is specifically designed to provide superior playability. The neck, made of roasted maple, provides stability and strength, and a reverse headstock ensures a smooth playing experience with comfortable positioning. The rosewood fingerboard is adorned with 22 narrow frets and a 12" radius, allowing for easy movement around the neck. The Goldie's playing feel makes it stand above the rest.
Aesthetically appealing
The St. Vincent Goldie is not only an exceptional instrument regarding playability and sound quality but also a visually stunning piece. The guitar body is made of nyatoh, a premium tone wood known for its excellent resonance and sustain and is topped with a beautiful finish to enhance its looks, giving it an artistic and sophisticated feel.
In addition, the customized parchment pickguard perfectly matches the body of the guitar, creating a harmonious aesthetic appearance. The reverse headstock, bearing the "Sterling by Music Man" logo, adds to its uniqueness and classy appearance. Moreover, the custom St. Vincent inlays in both the neck and fingerboard provide a touch of style that radiates from every angle, making it perfect for live performances or studio recordings.
