Anyone who’s seen St. Vincent (a.k.a. Annie Clark) live knows that, in addition to being an incredible singer, she absolutely shreds.

The Grammy-winning indie rocker made headlines earlier this week when she and Beck joined pop superstar Taylor Swift on stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but not everyone noticed that the guitar she played was one-of-a-kind. Her performance with Swift was also the debut of her new custom made signature Ernie Ball Music Man guitar.

“The entirety of my experience as a guitarist is invested in this instrument,” Clark said in a press release. “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.”

Those interested in owning an custom Clark ax can head here to preorder one. The model comes in black or “Vincent Blue,” a color hand-mixed by Annie herself, and starts at $1,899. Buyers can expect the guitar to ship in early 2016.
