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 facemelting and an indepth account of the painstaking work that went into completing his signature axe. Check it out!
