A Cutting-edge EBMM Sabre
Ball Family Reserve instruments are created in extremely small batches by Ernie Ball Music Man’s most experienced luthiers, each model epitomizing the company’s dedication to maximum performance and 6-string innovation. The Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Sabre HT exemplifies this process, taking the classic Sabre formula to its highest level yet! This guitar’s black limba body is topped with a gorgeous piece of spalted maple, then enwrapped with beautiful natural wood binding. The roasted figured maple fingerboard delivers unmatched playability, with a slick gunstock oil and wax finish that Sweetwater guitarists love for its smooth, fast feel. Next, the neck position sports a Music Man Custom Wound Humbucker for rich sustain and versatility, while the Music Man HT Sabre Humbucker in the bridge utilizes EBMM’s latest research into string technology to maximize sonic potential. Lastly, it wouldn’t be an EBMM guitar without a rock-solid set of hardware, and this guitar’s M6-IND locking tuners and Music Man Modern Tremolo deliver the utmost tuning stability.
