Music Man Sabre Rabea Massaad Electric Guitar in Vileblood Burst

Rabea Massaad was announced as a new artist for Ernie Ball Music Man in April 2023. Now we can proudly introduce his very own Artist Series guitar, the Rabea Massaad Sabre in Vileblood Burst!

From the meticulously ergonomic body carves to the unique satin finish, to a double-bill of Rabea’s signature Bare Knuckle Silo humbuckers, this guitar represents a convergence of aggression and harmony, expressivity and precision – perfectly mirroring Rabea’s style.

Key features

• Made in the USA – As with every Music Man Artist Model, Rabea’s guitar is built by hand in California.
• Rabea’s signature Bare Knuckle pickups – Alnico V-powered, delivering the ultimate balance of aggression and clarity.
• Ergonomic body carves – Carefully-considered curves and recesses for ultimate modern comfort and playability.
• Hybrid neck – Thicker near the nut, thinner towards the body.
