# Female-Friendly Guitars The St. Vincent Guitar is Designed to Fit the Contours of a Woman's Body By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-02-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-vincent-guitar References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/3056617/st-vincent-designed-a-sleek-new-guitar-to-fit-womens-bodies?partner=rss) & [music-man](http://www.music-man.com/instruments/guitars/st-vincent) The [St. Vincent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-vincents) guitar is a specially designed instrument that fits the contours of a woman's body. The name of the guitar comes from its superstar designer Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent), who created the instrument as a way to make playing the guitar more comfortable for women. The St. Vincent guitar was designed by scratch to meet the practical needs of female guitarists. The instrument combines 1980s German synth-pop aesthetics with colors that are characteristics of classic American muscle cars. In addition to its beautiful exterior, the guitar also features an unusual shape, which is slimmer and devoid of curves. The elongated body hugs a woman's curves while the light design makes it far easier to play. At just seven pounds, Clark's guitar is perfect for female artists. While the St. Vincent guitar was initially designed for women, it can also be used by smaller people in general who are unable to play a traditional guitar comfortably. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Female-friendly Guitars:** Creating guitars that are specifically designed to fit the contours of a woman's body. - **Practical Design for Female Guitarists:** Designing guitars that meet the practical needs and comfort of female guitarists. - **Lightweight and Slim Guitars:** Developing guitars that are lighter in weight and slimmer in design for easier playability. ### Where This Applies - **Musical Instruments:** Incorporating ergonomic design features in musical instruments to cater to different body types and genders. - **Fashion and Design:** Exploring the intersection of fashion and music by creating visually appealing guitars that appeal to specific demographics. - **Accessibility and Inclusion:** Addressing the needs of smaller individuals or those with physical limitations by designing guitars that are comfortable and accessible for all. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exclusive Musician-Inspired Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Limited-Edition-HER-STRATOCASTER-Guitar.md) - [Collaboration Fashion House Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-x-fender-stratocaster.md) - [Playful Music Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loog-x-hello-kitty.md) - [Beginner-Friendly Guitar Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-x-loog-collection-for-kids.md) - [Children-Forward Guitar Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smallscale-electric-guitars.md) - [Artist-Backed Electric Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boygenius.md) - [Bamboo Smart Travel Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-guitar-1.md) - [Affordable Retro-Style Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrostyle-guitar.md) - [Musician-Backed Electric Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-1.md)
