Annie Clark, as St. Vincent, became one of the most distinctive guitar stylists of the 2010s, getting glitchy, synth-like fuzz and jagged stabs out of the instrument. Her short, strange solos swap blues cliché for texture and surprise, and in 2016 she became one of the few women with a signature Ernie Ball Music Man guitar.
