Description
A first EBMM 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.
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.
Hand-selected body and neck woods are sustainably sourced from a network of hardwood suppliers around the world. Alder and maple are individually chosen and matched for their beautiful appearance and rich tonal qualities.
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.
Features
* Custom tapered neck carve is thicker at the nut and slims toward the heel* Custom Music Man tremolo is more compact than the standard Sabre tremolo
* Recessed lower horn for increased access to the higher frets
* 5-way switch along with push-push tone pot for single coil tone in positions 1 and 5
* Rabea Massaad Signature "Silo" Bare Knuckle Pickups
* Other Custom features, including custom forearm carve and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers
