Music Man Sabre HT

The Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre HT guitar blends the classic Sabre design with advanced features. It includes custom Music Man HT pickup technology, developed from extensive guitar string research, delivering dynamic responsiveness. The HT bridge pickup features heat-treated pole pieces and a large ceramic magnet for high output, enhanced high-frequency harmonics, and touch sensitivity. The ceramic-based neck humbucker is designed to complement the bridge pickup’s characteristics. Additional features include a push-push adjustable 20 dB boost and transparent buffered output for consistent tonality across all volume levels. The Sabre HT boasts a contoured Okoume body and a thick flame maple top. It has a roasted figured maple neck and 22 stainless steel frets for exceptional durability and playability. In addition, the electronics package includes a push-push adjustable 20 dB boost function and a transparent buffered output for complete tonal consistency wherever your volume control is set.

Incorporating the principles and insights that contributed to the development of Cobalt and M-Steel Slinkys resulting in a new material-based innovation for pickups

More Output and Dynamic Range

Outperforms normal spec pickups by providing extra output and excellent touch sensitivity

Push Push Boost Circuit

The Sabre's HT preamp boost is activated by a push-push volume knob and is factory set to 12db. Via a trim pot inside the control cavity, the preamp can be adjusted up to 20db if needed for heavy rhythm parts or high octane soloing whenever the user chooses.

Sabre HT Bridge pickup

The Sabre HT (Heat Treated) bridge pickup outperforms normal spec pickups with more output, dynamic range, and excellent touch sensitivity. The pickup not only achieves ultra-high output but also garners a powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.

Sabre HT Neck Pickup

The custom-wound neck humbucker also features a large ceramic magnet and has been wound specifically to pair with the Sabre's HT bridge pickup.

Transparent Buffered Output

No matter where your volume control is set, the transparent buffered output preserves your signal from high-frequency loss and keeps your tone bright and strong.
