Music Man Sabre HH, Cobra Burst, Special Order Overview
The Music Man Sabre has a slender, contoured Okoume body for a more comfortable playing experience and a roasted flame maple top which provides a striking, yet natural look. It also has a figured roasted maple neck and fretboard with 22 stainless steel frets, making it particularly durable and less susceptible to temperature changes, and a Music Man modern tremolo bridge with vintage bent steel saddles that provide more harmonics, and overall this bridge is great at keeping your guitar in tune, especially combined with the Schaller M6-IND locking tuning machines.
For pickups, it has a pair of Music Man custom-wound humbucking with the bridge pickup having an Alnico V magnet, and the neck pickup has a Ceramic 8 magnet, which combined provide a hot and lively dynamic sound with great clarity and sustain, and there’s a 5-way pickup selector so you can get a range of humbucker and single-coil tones.
The Music Man Sabre is completed with matte black hardware, natural binding and a unique Cobra Burst finish.

The all-new Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre guitar features an okoume body, thick maple top, and custom Music Man humbucking pickups, delivering lively, dynamic sound with striking clarity and sustain. Aesthetically, the Sabre is equally compelling. Its bookmatched premium top is adorned with contrasting natural binding, which elegantly highlights the raw beauty of the figured maple wood grain. Crafted with a slender, contoured body and slightly wider neck (1 11/16" at the nut), the Sabre guitar provides unmatched comfort and playability. Equipped with a roasted maple neck, Schaller locking tuners, a 5-way switch, and Music Man’s super smooth, modern tremolo system, the Sabre is truly a player’s guitar.
