Designed in collaboration with the innovative guitarist Rabea Massaad, the Ernie Ball Music Man Artist Series Sabre offers a blend of modern playability and classic tonal versatility. This solid body electric guitar is a testament to Rabea's genre-defying style, featuring a lightweight alder body with a stunning flamed maple top for a visually striking and resonant instrument. The modified Sabre shape includes a recessed lower horn, which provides exceptional access to the upper frets, making it ideal for complex solos and expressive playing.

The custom neck carve, crafted from roasted birdseye maple, transitions smoothly from a thicker feel at the base to a more tapered profile as you move up the 22 stainless steel frets. Navigate the fretboard with confidence thanks to glow-in-the-dark side markers, perfect for low-light stage environments.

Under the hood, the Sabre is equipped with Rabea's signature Bare Knuckle Silo humbuckers, designed to deliver everything from warm, articulate cleans to aggressive, distortion-rich tones. The push-push electronics allow for coil splitting in positions one and five, offering a palette of single-coil sounds that are bright and snappy.

With a vintage-style Music Man tremolo and Schaller locking tuners, the Sabre ensures stable tuning and quick string changes, making it a reliable partner for both studio sessions and live performances. Experience the power and precision of a guitar built to inspire creativity and handle any genre with ease.
