After many a prototype, Rabea Massaad’s signature Sabre is ready to be unsheathed, courtesy of the meticulous research, design, and craftsmanship of luthiers at Ernie Ball Music Man. Sweetwater had the pleasure of hosting Rabea for a comprehensive Sabre showcase, brandishing the Vileblood Burst variant (the finish’s name owing to Rabea’s love of FromSoftware’s video game Bloodborne) for some hallmark face-melting and an in-depth account of the painstaking work that went into completing his signature axe.

I’d like to see a custom version of Rabea’s manufacturer exclusive color that sold out in a day with 24 frets, Bare Knuckle Warpig pickups, (alnico) and the tremolo from the Jason Richardson Cutlass.
Congratulations! Very cool guitar! You deserve it brother. Enjoy, and I hope a lot of people grab one. The tones are great. Excellent job!
Congratulations on your new signature model! Appreciate your playing, reviews, and work with Victoria and Anderton's....I've enjoyed your playing and work! Godspeed!
#67 looks soo good with the subtle flame and its very light, that is gonna make somebody very happy!
The finish reminds me so much of the Rickenbacker Fireglo! Love the gold pole pieces and black hardware. Beautiful guitar and you're so worthy, Rabea! Been following you a long time.
Glad to see you bro 😎👊🏻 amd soo glad music man did this with you. I will be buying this guitar 🎸 before the end of 24 . Thabk you bea for all your hard work helping create what to be may be the most perfect 🎸💯🔥
Bea is an amazing player, and this signature is so well earned. Never have been interested in an EBMM guitar (basses - different story; I love my LTE DarkRay), but with Bea having a say in the specs, if he brings out a more-fun color option, you can’t count 1 sold to me!!!
That guitar is an absolute beauty, mate! You have such keen senses for all things musical; I've been loving your Neural DSP plugin.
In its looks alone the guitar is perfection, not under or over designed (but styled just right.) The controls are out of the way for busy hands and It looks like it could be a great choice just about any style. I love those MM head stocks. If I were allowed to design a signature guitar, it more than likely would come out just like this.
WANT!
awesome guitar and very well earned. your an inspiration. rock on'🤘
And music stores are finally admitting Gibson and fender are not doing well in sales it's all epiphone now just like many have been saying Gibson downfall was the lawsuit failures and the final nail in the Gibson coffin was in 2019/2020 when JC Curliegh Restored Epiphone back to premium brand many have been waiting a long time for this to happen and sales prove it.. hope this guy does well with music man
You understand Epiphone is owned by Gibson right? Lol when Epiphone does well, so does Gibson
@@allstopblue5717no epiphone and Gibson are owned by KKR and company finance Corp with separate accounts
@@allstopblue5717last I saw it's KKR and company finance that owns both Gibson and Epiphone 😁
Seems like really great guitar and that neck carve is compelling! Maybe not for the masses, but cool that Rabea gets to create one his way. Chugga, chugga! (Haven’t met a MM headstock that I like yet though)
I look forward to a Sterling version of this guitar!
Music man is one of the best brand for high end guitars , could we expect a Sterling model for the people who don't want to spend that much money ;))
I have been playing for 37 years so I think my comment has some weight. I’m not famous but I’d like to think I can play 😅. I have been stuck in the never ending journey of Gibson, Fenders and of course PRS. I have owned them all and they are all amazing! Since high end guitars are $$$$ I usually don’t keep more than one around at a time. I play live a few times a month the so I PLAY them hard and touch them almost daily.
I have been eyeing a music man for years, since PRS bolt on are not my thing and Fenders are great but just not my sound. THIS GUITAR sounds and looks amazing! Kudos to this young man and all the hate is from jealous youngsters for the most part! I just ordered this without even playing it. Don’t need to, after decades I know what I like. This is perfect. Sure I will keep my SG and Strat, but they will be collecting dust and possibly be sold to someone who will play them!
Music Man makes the perfect guitar!!
Nice looking and spec’d guitar. Very strange comment section however….the trolls are out in full force
So sad to see so many hate comments in here. This is a sick guitar and Rabea is a pretty amazing guitarist who comes across as genuine and helpful. I have to chalk up all the hate to jealousy but it seems to be going beyond that.
Because a lot of you including you are spouting off self opinionated BS no truth or facts whatsoever straight up lying
No ones hating they just arent paying top dollar for a sig guitar w a guys name u dont know. Kirk Hametts guitars arent this much.
@@mobeus84 Kirk Hammetts guitars are also cheaply made and with far inferior specs. This is standard price for a MM guitar with a reasonable bump for the artist model of like $200. Just shows how little you and most people understand the guitar market tbh
@@StupidGuitar im talking about his esp model. The real one not one of the lesser expensive ones.
@@StupidGuitar your anger tells me u have a personal issue. Also, the industry LOVES dbs like u man. Take that 800 dollar baked maple fretboard goo all over ur face and wipe it away with that extra cash u got.
The thing thats always stuck out for me, is the attitude this young man has. Very few have the genuine uniqueness that he seems to carry with him. Not arrogant or cocky, just enjoying the fruits of his labors.
MusicMan makes the best guitars around. Other than ESP or Heritage, theres not many other brands producing guitars at this level. If they put out a Sterling model of the Bea sig. I'm almost certainly gonna try my first Sabre. I've got a matching Cutlass and Stingray bass in Firemist Silver that are excellent.
Cool guitar. I personally had to go with the normal Sabre... cause that gloss, haha. Yours have been doing very well in the States. Happy for you.
🎉🎉🎉
I'm happy guys like this are getting sig models
BEAutiful axe. Kinda pricey but hey it’s Music Man. Glad that Rabea is finally getting noticed by the world
🥳🥳🥳
Congrats... But I bet Chappers is cryin
Looks and sounds amazing but the price tag is just ridiculous.
Hi,rebea,how you?,I hope your well😊😊😊
Only a mere 4k... 😂😂😂
🫁🫀🧠
To address the salty commenters:
1. His name is Rabea Massaad. If you watched the first 40 seconds you’d know this. He says his name.
2. He’s not an influencer; he’s a touring and recording musician. And he makes a living from this. Making him a professional musician.
3. He is held in very high regard by many people, including thousands of players, like myself, that are constantly inspired by his playing.
4. I can name dozens of songs that are his, or those of his band projects including Toska and Vower. Because I’m a fan of his music. For parity, I can’t name more than 5 Led Zeppelin songs as I don’t spend my time listening to that music, but I still respect it. You don’t need to name an artist’s catalogue to determine whether they’re worthy of a signature guitar.
5. Companies like EBMM have their finger on the pulse as to what modern guitarists are looking for and inspired by. That’s why artists who have found a following on social media are getting attention, and deservedly so. This is translating into huge sales of signature models.
6. Someone said ‘he’s not even signed to a label’ - are you stuck in the 90s? Many artists are finding independently releasing their songs is far more beneficial. Don’t be so ignorant. Labels are not the way to go for many artists.
7. Yes, $4k is too much for me as well. I’ll wait for the Sterling model 😊
Oh hea a nobody thanks for affirming
🤣
At least he’s put out a bunch of albums. There are guitar influencers with signature models that have never even released a single album lol
So Rabea was not a fan of the original 😂😂
4,000? Yea, no thanks
I mean it’s a typical price tag for Ernie Ball Music Man… if it’s not in the budget and you want it, then I would wait for a Sterling version and swap the pickups out for a set of Silos
Lol i LOVE Rabea....but hes not Kirk Hamett or Alex Lifeson man. Why would they think ppl will pay 4000 for a signature of an unknown artist? Weird man.
A normal Sabre is only $500 less. I have never heard of this guy, but I’ve been playing for 36 years. I have had high end PRS, Les Paul’s, custom shop fenders. I have always wanted a high end Music Man, for many reasons. This guitar is fabulous, who cares who he is, you buy the guitar. Ernie Ball hand made this guitar with his team, Rabes just said hey try this, I like this, I like that.
Short answer. A Sabre is $3500 or so brand new and they sell a TON! This guitar will move. Perhaps a Sterling is more your style!
@@GreyMarano selling a ton huh? Sure i trust u. Agree to disagree. U buy whatever u wanna buy. That was just my opinon. I have a les paul and Prs and i paid less than 3500 for both. Use your local music store and stop giving big box companies your money. Theres millions of used guitars that are top of the line needing a home. This kind of purchase is for people who want to show off how much they spent and not for people who play and write music I mean unless you're a superstar and you can afford it
@@mobeus84 that’s only $500 more than $3500 lol!! A beginner buying this would be ridiculous. A Dentist who’s going hang it on the wall is ridiculous. I’m in my 50s and make money and play live three times a month. (That’s not how I make money) after 36 years of playing I like the best of the best. My first guitar was so horrid I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
@@GreyMarano bro u said it was 3500 i was just saying i bought 2 for less than that. I paid 1000 for my PRS and 1600 for my Gibson. Thats 1100 dollars cheaper. The Gibson was used but in great shape. 2 high end imstruments man. Its your money u do u.
@@mobeus84 you bought a PRS made in Indonesia, ok guitar , not a Maryland made core model. Apples and Oranges!
My whole point was high end hand crafted USA made guitars.
I don’t think ebmm will ever make a good looking guitar, the valentine model is close, but oh boy that headstock yech
All that money to sound like everyone else
🤣
Nope I'll stay with my 2021 high end Epiphones..
You’re joking Right. If you could afford it you might play some High end Gibsons or PRS guitars
@@deddiev1718 maybe you should look at my chancel I have 2021 high end Epiphones and Gibson so see what happens when you run your mouth and have zero clue what you're talking about..
@@deddiev1718 you must like the taste of your feet because you have stuck your foot in your mouth buddy 🤣😅😂😅🤣😂
@@deddiev1718only joke here is YOU 🤣😂🤣😅
@@user-qn1tw4nk1eexactly that music man isn't even close to the specs of my Epiphone custom koa Les Paul it's been recently discontinued and on sale what's left Same with the epiphone modern figured Sgs..these TH-cam experts are hilarious Everytime they open their mouths they do put their foot in it 😁
givin sigs out to influencers now
For $2000 less , I would rather have the Steve Morse signature model .
Who is this guy from the UK anyway !😂
Rabea is a monster player but yeah all the Steve Morse models are underrated imo, especially the original blue!
i would love to own one!
The reason this guy says 'it seems crazy to me' is because it IS crazy! He's only known to begin with for being on Andertons. How does an influencer guitarist justify a £4,400 signature guitar? He doesn't even have his own identifiable style or sound. I'd even go as far to say 1. his name on a guitar devalues it and 2. does anyone even know who he is? Can anyone name me ONE SONG this guy has made / written that would make soemone think 'oh my goodness, that riff is totally original and that sound! who is this and what gear does he use?' Finally, since when did voicing an opinion backed up with evidence that doesn't fit in with the majority's narrative make someone a 'hater'? Good luck selling your £4,400 guitar, though.
Your comment is born out of severe ignorance. Rabea has a very distinct style if you actually spend time listening to him. He is known for way more than being on andertons. He has is own incredible TH-cam channel which has helped so many of us, he’s a member of the Frogleap band, he’s released several solo records and singles, he was in the band Dorje with Rob Chapman, with his last band Toska he released the incredible “Fire by the Silos,” and his new band Vower just released a great single “Shroud.” Maybe if you spent a few minutes doing some basic research rather than jumping to dis an accomplished and talented musician for no reason you would’ve found some of this readily available information. Your comment is just silly.
You cannot be serious!
@@BDMusic2021 I disgree...
@@BDMusic2021 Reply to me ONE RIFF he's created which deserves a signature guitar...
@@iBinarylol my guy it’s ok to admit you don’t listen to him or watch him here. Clearly he’s doing something right when he sold out of his Yellow color in 24 hours and sold through Sweetwaters inventory in the same time period. It’s ok to admit you’re wrong
Nothing more than a TH-camr signature guitar. No thanks.
Nothing more than a jealous nobody rage commenting on someone else's success
@@zynosgd9982 lol. Dude I find any signature guitar is generally not worth 1/3 the price they sell them for. So you think 4K is a reasonable price with someone’s name no one has heard of and has not released music to speak of and not signed by a label. I’m sorry. This is merely a money grab for gullible idiots like yourself. So spend 4K and I guarantee you’ll be let down. later
The most boring looking guitar I’ve ever seen!
@florian-pingu if you say the word EDGY one more time I’m gonna explode in my pants. Your SO FUNNY AND DYNAMIC. What’s your mom making for dinner tonight. I won’t be able to make it but you can tell her I said hello. I left my watch on her nightstand just to be a little edgy
@florian-pingu you should try running your mouth in person it’s a lot more EDGY. I think you’d like it
@florian-pingu I’m guessing that’s your Dungeons and Dragons name?
@florian-pingu ok that was so pathetic I’m at a loss for words. Tell your parents I said hello
@florian-pingu just reported you to yahoo. Good luck
Wow my DGt GoldTop and Tom Anderson Cobra are better than your high end epiphones. Mr in the comment section. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
yeah because those are both actual high end guitars.
