Music Man Saber Rabea Massaad Vileblood Burst

Beautiful Rabea Massaad Signature Saber in Vileblood Burst Finish!

Rabea Massaad is one of the most progressive rock guitarists of our time. In projects like Toska , The Totemist and his own Grinding Gears he displays the most brutal riffs, dystopian chord progressions and impressive lead parts. His collaboration with Music Man has also resulted in a truly fantastic sounding instrument. The starting point for this signature guitar is the Sabre model. The first interesting change is the neck; this is completely tailored to Massaad's wishes. The result is a somewhat atypical, sturdy neck profile for a Music Man, but oh so comfortable!

For the pickups, Massaad's signature Bare Knuckle set was chosen: the Silo humbucker. These are known for their solid output with a very defined midrange and tight bass. This way, the guitar remains extremely upright, even when you turn up the gain on your amplifier. The coil-split sounds are fully dialed in for clear, sparkling chord parts.

That clarity and tightness are further accentuated by the okoume body and an extremely stable roasted maple neck. Thanks to the ebony fretboard and high frets, you are extremely agile on the neck of this Music Man and playing faster parts is child's play. What a fantastic and promising collaboration! Comes with Music Man MONO Case.
