Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre HT - Grape Slushie

Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre HT – Modern Refinement with Classic Inspiration

The Altitude Summary
The Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre HT is a masterfully crafted solidbody electric guitar designed for players who demand rich resonance, effortless playability, and versatile tone. Built with a lightweight Okoume body, the Sabre HT delivers exceptional balance and sustain, while the carved roasted flame maple top enhances note clarity with a touch of brightness. The HT designation comes from Ernie Ball’s innovative heat-treated pickups, which increase output while maintaining a wide dynamic range, resulting in a fuller, more articulate sound. A Music Man custom-wound neck humbucker and a high-output HT bridge humbucker provide a powerful yet versatile tonal palette, controlled via a 5-way selector switch. The Modern Classic tremolo and Schaller locking tuners complete the package, ensuring smooth performance, excellent tuning stability, and expressive playability.

HT Pickups – Enhanced Output, Expanded Dynamics
The Sabre HT gets its name from Ernie Ball's heat-treated pickup technology, designed to increase frequency response and low-end depth while preserving clarity and articulation. This process, inspired by Ernie Ball’s Slinky string development, allows the HT bridge pickup to produce punchy, full-bodied tones with increased presence. Paired with a custom-wound humbucker in the neck, the Sabre HT is extremely dynamic and adaptable, capable of handling everything from crisp cleans to high-gain rock tones.

Roasted Maple Neck – Unmatched Comfort and Playability
Designed for fast and fluid play, the Sabre HT features a roasted figured maple neck and matching fingerboard with a hand-applied gunstock oil and wax finish, creating a sleek, fast feel. The comfortable C-profile and 1-11/16" nut width provide just the right amount of space for chording and soloing, ensuring effortless navigation across all frets.

Modern Classic Tremolo and Schaller Locking Tuners
The Modern Classic tremolo system provides expressive pitch control while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability, making it perfect for subtle vibrato or aggressive dive-bombs. Paired with Schaller locking tuners, which streamline string changes and prevent slippage, the Sabre HT remains in tune through the most demanding performances.
