Custom-wound pickups
Every axe needs a voice. As such, it's pickups are an incredibly important component. The Sabre's voice is produced by a pair of Music Man custom-wound humbuckers. Extremely versatile and powerful, the pickups make the Sabre ideal for all playing styles and genres. These pickups were designed to create a commanding tone with clear note definition, spirited harmonics, and satisfying sustain. An onboard 5-way switch gives you a variety of series and parallel tones to choose from. As you're putting the Sabre through its paces, you'll be impressed with how versatile it truly is.
Sleek playability
With the Sabre, playability is key. To help you reach your full playing potential, this guitar has an exceptional neck made from roasted flame maple topped with an ebony fingerboard. It has a hand-applied gunstock oil and wax-blend finish that feels sleek and plays fast. Combine that with the slightly wider nut width of 1-11/16 inches, and you've got a recipe for playing success. The Sabre gives you plenty of room for soloing without feeling too chunky and getting in your way.
Music Man vibrato and Schaller locking tuners make staying in tune easier than ever
With the Sabre's Music Man vibrato tailpiece, you'll get in tune and stay there. It's constructed of chrome-plated hardened steel with bent-steel saddles. The headstock is equipped with Schaller locking tuners that make string changing fast and easy. Just insert the string, tighten the clamp screw, and tune it up to pitch. Strings won't be wound around the shaft, so your tuning will be reliable, no matter how hard you play.
