Music Man's Sabre: the company's second guitar design, back in production with modern hardware.
Watch
Why it matters
The Sabre returned to the Music Man catalogue after a long gap and is now positioned between the Cutlass and the higher-priced signature models. It uses the company's own pickups with an active preamp and a tremolo on the HH Trem version, so it appeals to players who want a modern take rather than a vintage reissue. Limited and BFR versions push the price well above the standard models.
Note
Music Man's second guitar, reissued to acclaim in the 2020s.
