Manufacturer's 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.

Custom Neck Carve

Custom tapered neck carve is thicker at the nut and slims toward the heel.

Custom Ernie Ball Music Man Tremolo

Custom Music Man tremolo is more compact than the standard Sabre tremolo.

Recessed Horn

Recessed lower horn for increased access to the higher frets.

Custom Electronics

5-way switch along with push-push tone pot for single coil tone in positions 1 and 5.

Bare Knuckle Pickups

Rabea Massaad Signature “Silo” Bare Knuckle Pickups.

Designed To Perfection

The Rabea Massaad Artist Series Sabre guitar features a perfectly balanced, double-cutaway body design that allows unparalleled access to all 22 stainless frets. The roasted maple neck and custom body carves provide an ultra-comfortable playing experience. Custom design elements integral to Rabea’s unique playing style and technique include custom forearm carve and glow-in-the-dark side dotmarkers.

Finest Materials

Hand-selected body and neck woods are sustainably sourced from our network of hardwood suppliers around the world. Alder and maple are individually chosen and matched for their beautiful appearance and rich tonal qualities.
