Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre HT –  Vintage Elegance, Modern Sonic Power

The Altitude Summary

The Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre HT is a high-end solid body electric guitar built for musicians who demand expressive dynamics, tonal clarity, and flawless ergonomics. Its lightweight okoume body offers superb resonance and balance, topped with carved roasted flame maple for a touch of brightness and enhanced definition. The centerpiece of its tonal architecture lies in its heat-treated humbuckers, engineered to deliver high output and expansive frequency response. The HT bridge pickup delivers tight low-end punch and striking articulation, while the custom-wound neck pickup balances the sound with warmth and precision. With a 5-way switch, premium tremolo system, and Schaller locking tuners, the Sabre HT offers exceptional flexibility and rock-solid stability for stage and studio alike.

HT Electronics – Bold Response with Enhanced Fidelity

Taking its name from the proprietary heat-treated pickup design, the Sabre HT features advanced electronics rooted in the same innovations behind Ernie Ball’s Slinky string technology. The result is greater frequency range and improved low-end depth, all while maintaining focused note definition. The HT bridge humbucker delivers commanding presence and attack, while the neck humbucker brings smooth, articulate tonal contrast—ideal for both clean voicings and saturated gain settings.

Roasted Maple Neck – Smooth Performance, Premium Feel

Crafted for agility and comfort, the roasted figured maple neck and fingerboard are finished in a hand-rubbed blend of gunstock oil and wax, creating a silky-smooth surface for fluid movement. The modern C-shaped neck profile and 1-11/16" nut width offer an ideal balance between speed and spacing, accommodating both lead and rhythm techniques with ease.

Expressive Tremolo Control and Locking Stability

Outfitted with the Music Man Modern Classic tremolo, the Sabre HT enables expressive pitch manipulation while retaining precise tuning. Schaller locking tuners further ensure fast string changes and dependable stability under heavy playing demands.
