Sterling By Music Man Rabea Ashen Burst Prince Of Sound

Sterling by Music Man Rabea Artist Series Sabre Ashen Burst – The signature guitar built for powerful tones and uncompromising playing comfort
The Sterling by Music Man Rabea Artist Series Sabre was developed in close collaboration with guitarist Rabea Massaad and combines modern playability with an expressive and dynamic sound. The model is designed for everything from heavy riffs and progressive soundscapes to nuanced clean tones, making it a versatile tool for today’s guitarists.

The guitar’s Nyatoh body is topped with a beautifully flamed maple veneer in an Ashen Burst finish and complemented by a roasted maple neck with a specially designed profile for enhanced comfort. The recessed design of the lower horn provides easy access to all 22 frets, while the ebony fingerboard offers quick response and a premium feel.

The custom-wound Alnico V humbuckers deliver powerful output, clear definition, and wide dynamics. With the five-way pickup selector and push/push coil-split function, you also gain access to both rich humbucker tones and more open single-coil characteristics.

Locking tuning machines and a modern tremolo system ensure stable tuning even during intense use, making the Rabea Artist Series Sabre a reliable instrument both in the studio and on stage.
