Ernie Ball Music Man Rabea Massaad Sabre HH Vileblood Burst

DESCRIPTION

The Rabea Massaad Artist Series Sabre guitar is our first collaboration with the multi-talented guitarist, composer, and producer Rabea Massaad. The Massaad Artist Series Sabre incorporates several custom design elements integral to Rabea's unique playing style and technique. These specifications include a custom thicker tapered neck carve, a recessed carve on the front and back lower horn, enhancing comfortability and higher fret accessibility, and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers. The guitar is also equipped with a custom compact Ernie Ball Music Man tremolo, Rabea Massaad signature Bare Knuckle "Silo" humbuckers, and push-push split-coil electronics for access to single-coil tones in the 1 and 5 positions. The guitar also shares some of the same specifications as the regular Sabre model, with 22 stainless steel frets, a roasted maple neck, and an Alder body with a thick maple top.

SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM

All of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer. Our setups always include inspection of (and necessary adjustment to): action, intonation, tremolo angle, truss rod, frets, nut, bridge, and more. We can accommodate special setup requests - additional charges and/or shipping delays of 1-2 business days could occur.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED

After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
