Sabre: A New, Refined Playing Experience
The Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre blends classic solidbody design with modern refinements for today’s player. It all starts with a lightweight and comfortable Okoume body that delivers an exceptionally balanced tone with rich resonance. Next, a high-grade maple top is added to lend extra note definition and a dash of brightness. A pair of Music Man custom-wound humbuckers give this axe its clear, powerful tone. Finally, a 5-way pickup selector switch and a Music Man vibrato bridge deliver an arsenal of tones and playing techniques to explore. The body is joined to a sleek and easy-to-play roasted maple neck with Music Man's unique 5-bolt neck plate, which enhances stability and sustain. Dressed to kill in an eye-popping limited-edition sparkle finish, this Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre is available only at Sweetwater, so you’d better grab it while you can!
Custom-wound pickups
Every electric guitar needs a unique voice. As such, its pickups are an integral component. The Sabre’s distinctive tone is produced by a pair of Music Man custom-wound humbuckers. Extremely versatile and powerful, these pickups make the Sabre ideal for all playing styles and genres. Designed to create a commanding tone with clear note definition, rich harmonics, and satisfying sustain, their signal is routed through master volume and tone controls and a 5-way selector switch that 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 and topped with a roasted flame maple fingerboard. It has a hand-applied gunstock oil and wax-blend finish that feels sleek and plays fast. Combine that with a slightly wider nut width, and you’ve got a recipe for playing success. The consensus among Sweetwater guitar gurus is that Music Man has hit the sweet spot with the Sabre neck design: It gives you plenty of room for chording and soloing, without feeling too chunky and getting in your way.
Ultra-stable Music Man vibrato and Schaller locking tuners
With the Sabre’s Music Man vibrato bridge, 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 repeatedly around the shaft, so your tuning will be reliable, with no slippage even when you’re playing aggressively.
