Sterling by Music Man Rabea Massaad Artist Series Sabre Guitar
If you've ever wanted a guitar that can handle crushing riffs and shredding solos without breaking your back — or your bank account — Rabea Massaad's signature Sabre might be your answer.
This guitar isn't just for show; it's built to be played hard and often. It features custom-voiced Alnico V humbuckers for powerful, dynamic tones and a roasted maple neck that feels incredibly smooth. Designed by a professional guitarist, it offers no-compromise performance wrapped in a head-turning flame maple top.
Speed and Comfort in Perfect Harmony
The Rabea Sabre is more than just a good-looking guitar. Every detail, from its curves to its contours, is designed to stay out of your way and let you focus on playing. The custom-tapered roasted maple neck offers a smooth, fast feel, while the lower-horn spoon carve provides easy access to all 22 frets — even for those high notes during a solo.
Roasted Maple Neck: Heat-treated for enhanced stability and a silky-smooth feel that won't slow you down, no matter how fast your fingers fly.
Ebony Fretboard: Dense, resonant, and responsive, with white ring inlays and glow-in-the-dark side dots that look cool under stage lights and help you find your way in the dark.
Lower-Horn Spoon Carve: A recessed carve on both the front and back lower horns ensures your hand glides into upper register territory without any awkward stretching or hand cramps.
Tone With Bite
The Rabea Sabre comes loaded with custom-voiced Alnico V humbuckers that deliver thick, meaty tones with enough bite to cut through the densest mix. But here's where it gets fun: the push-push tone knob activates coil-splitting in positions 1 and 5, giving you crispy single-coil clarity when you need it. One minute you're chugging palm-muted power chords, the next you're dialing in glassy cleans for an ambient intro — all without the need for switching axes.
Custom-Voiced Alnico V Humbuckers: Powerful and dynamic pickups tuned specifically for this guitar, delivering everything from vintage warmth to modern aggression.
5-Way Pickup Selector: Maximum tonal versatility at your fingertips, letting you blend neck and bridge pickups for endless sonic possibilities.
Push-Push Coil Split: Flip the tone knob in positions 1 and 5 to unlock bright, articulate single-coil sounds that add a whole new dimension to your playing.
Reliable Hardware That Won't Let You Down
Tuning stability isn't sexy, but it's essential — especially when you're hammering on a tremolo or bending strings like your life depends on it. The Rabea Sabre features locking tuners that keep you locked in tight, while the modern tremolo bridge delivers smooth, controlled vibrato without turning your tuning into a science experiment. Plus, with a nyatoh body topped with a highly figured flame maple veneer, this guitar looks as good as it sounds.
Locking Tuners: Rock-solid tuning stability that stays put through dive bombs, string bends, and aggressive playing.
Modern Tremolo Bridge: Smooth action and reliable return-to-pitch performance for expressive vibrato and subtle pitch shifts.
Flame Maple Veneer Top: Eye-catching figured maple over a resonant nyatoh body, available in Ashen Burst and Blood Flame Burst matte finishes that scream premium quality.
Ready to Rip
The Sterling by Music Man Rabea Massaad Artist Series Sabre delivers professional quality without the hefty price tag. Designed for players seeking powerful tones, exceptional comfort, and reliable hardware, this guitar is built to perform. Whether you're recording, gigging, or practicing at home, it’s ready to meet the challenge.
