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.
