[@GabrielHello1]

Man look at that guitar. I didn't know that he even had a chin.

[@sveinunghamre324]

True 😄👌

[@MikaTarkela]

Hahah I do the same thing, it just happens :)

[@sebbo1496]

the thing about you is that you never sound like someone else. maybe i don't know your influences but it's always inspiring either way

[@11-inch]

Nuno Bettencourt + Mike Einzinger + Philip Sayce

[@raywcksn]

This is my dream and my goal guitar. Gotta work hard for this one 💪🏽

[@headunits]

I think Suhr guitars really raised the bar in the industry about 10 years ago. Now almost every manufacturer has their own version of boutique super strat like this one.

[@diatarussoulbane]

Music man has been doing this since 1983, while they're originally more famous for their basses, their guitars or "super strats" like the silhouette and silhouette special have been made with as much quality for much longer than 10 years. Suhrs are sweet guitars, but EBMM was doing it first, if that sort of thing matters anyway

[@scottlowe8657]

This is the best demo of this guitar on the internet!

[@igloozoo8245]

just checked w/ the missus; said all good to give up the left nut for this guitar

[@warrborn_official]

Love the traditional look it has. Is it just as ergonomic feeling as the JP series? I love my JP 6 so much, i can't find a guitar that really compares to its comfort! Good to see ya Bea!

[@boggeshzahim3713]

KZbin recommending this now, everyone is waiting for Bea's signature music Man 😂

[@danstheworst]

wow, shes a looker for sure. great playing as always bea, you never stop surprising me with how unique the notes you choose are

[@IStabz]

Also, I LOVE that video for the JP-15!! Brilliant song/piece you wrote for that!! One of my favorite vid's!!

[@joseph_lacy]

It’s been 2.5 years since I’ve gotten a new guitar and it feels like Bea gets one every month 😂😂 lucky man. Great video

[@evrythingis1]

It sounds like a "Crystal" like Les Paul to me, wonderful!

[@chrissguitarshow206]

Man, i have been a guitar teacher and a player of all styles from David gilmour to wes Montgomery and hardcore jazz i love your style and sounds you get your one of the best out there and i am a fan.

[@IStabz]

Nice jam with the looper too!! Love doin' stuff like that!!

[@adelesmith6625]

Your phrases are just a joy to my ears, thanks bea..

[@ashishdhakal6630]

This is a fabulous sounding guitar with supreme comfort playing

[@crmcg4351]

Great vid Bea. Loving the tones. There are moments that hve shades of soundgardens tone for me in this one.

[@daniellowrie2289]

Sounds amazing! You were getting some Alter Bridge 'Burn it Down' like tones at around 7:38 - 7:46 and I, for one, was loving it...a lot. Nice review!

[@j_laf9575]

Immediately reminds me of an Ibanez AZ or one of the more modern Suhrs. This one looks way more sexy though

[@diatarussoulbane]

Just FYI, Position 2 and 4 are in parallel, where as they are traditionally series, hence the more unique sound. Amazing demo! I want one!

[@jakelee8789]

That guitar would be perfect for my style of playing... Very nice man

[@Traski]

That is a nice guitar, and sounds great. I personally like parallel wiring over a split coil, 'cos it kinda is this weird middle way between humbucking and single coil. U kinda get the best from both worlds imo

[@cameronwebb1769]

Yes Rabea!

[@trevorpenucca]

Prolly the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever seen. Damn expensive though but I’ll get one for sure.

[@joseph_lacy]

YUS a new Rabea video

[@michaelfrancis1]

Cheers from Texas! 🤘😎🤘 Thanks for this! Interesting guitar. Fantastic music! Peace M

[@wlawnsldj]

Oh man I remember going to a secondhand shop just months ago and they have a vintage Leo Fender era MusicMan Sabre!

[@josuastangl7140]

Love your playing! Btw what chair are you using? I've seen yours and the ones Nolly has with the flippable armrests, but I couldn't find them anywhere.

[@andrewspencer3825]

I’m definitely getting one! Thanks for this video, it really helped my decision!

[@rcoveyduc]

Look forward to a Sterling release of this.

[@buzzardsinuses4780]

rcoveyduc That would be killer! I would like them to do the Sabre with the locking tuners like the old Stingray SR50s and Cutlass CT50s. Hell they should just reissue those models!

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Same here. I really hope for a maple fretboard version similar to the Cobra MM version

[@davidf2281]

Ooooh I love that intro loop-jam

[@andrewjohn47]

Cheers man. Your demos rule 🤜

[@silverstaralchemist]

Any chance you'll ever get your hands on a Kiesel to make a video? I've been interested in their guitars for a while and would love your take on them!

[@RabeaMassaad]

I spoke to Jeff at the NAMM show 2019 and we talked about doing some vids, but it never came to fruition sadly.

[@sennata7221]

Don't you ever apologize for the mindless shred sir, we're here for it and everything else you churn out!

[@EricPaulussi1]

you're amazing man! and this guitar is awesome !

[@LaDrouille64]

Can't wait my JP 15 to arrive at the end of the summer... 8 month to have it built and shipped from US to France. I will not lie if I Say i couldn't stop to see it since your vid with piezo and all that stuff! In stealth quilted it will be glorious, the Sabre looks Amazing but is pricey considering it not have piezo system and Electronic of a JP...

[@liorauf]

Julien dr congrats!!!

[@LaDrouille64]

@@liorauf thanks man but that a lot of money. I need to do 30 gigs this summer to Pay it but I think it is worth! My dream Guitar since several years

[@Cactusruss1]

First impressions say its a strat mixed with a les paul, mixed with a tele. Can't say that I love it, but it seems to cover a lot of the things that make a fairly decent mix of the best parts of all the before mentioned. I would like to investigate it further.

[@jmc2567]

Cool vid,very informative,I didn,t realize you could wire the pickups just for inner or outer coils,first time I,ve heard it mentioned,loved the clean sound of position 4,and the other positions sounded nice and clean,I like a clean clear sort of sound more than distorted crungey sound,Awesome looking guitar,thin neck I suppose helps people with smaller thinner fingers and not so much bigger fingers.thanks for the vid,it,s the first one I,ve watched on music man guitars so I was very attentive and you covered everything I wanted to know.cheers,best wishes to all,from,Auckland,New Zealand.🎸🎸👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Arnytet1]

Lovely guitar

[@AxelHeusser]

This would be my next guitar to buy, if only EBMM made other guitars than only the JPs featuring the piezo bridge 😥

[@777sicilia]

Sounds great rabea 👍

[@dodo-js5gw]

Best Sabre review !

I definitely heard a few Nuno inspired licks in there

[@arnyarny77]

isnt music man leo fender? g@l is awesome ....well rabea i want to ask ur opinion on kramer....tomorrow i order a 1984 model... well rock on

[@ccandrew111]

Would love to get another musicman at some point, love my silo special

[@Wojtasguitar1]

Damn so cool guitar !

[@hugotyson308]

Just as a joke after that last sustaining bend at around 2:56 you should have inserted a huge explosion sound effect just before the talking starts! That would really have caught people's attention! Okoume- wasn't that once (wrongly?) called African Mahogany? Even with Hi Gain there is some nice clarity to the tone!

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Sweet guitar man

[@thomasharding5598]

Ooh that's tasty Very smooth and atmospheric playing as always!

[@roblicandro]

I love EBMM but it still blows my mind that they don’t use luminlay side dots yet.

[@DanieleBrunazzo]

Hi Rabea, really cool guitar and tunes! A question, can you share your settings on the Ox for registering this? 😃 cheers!

[@edwinbarker7763]

Hey BEA!! The finish on a music man neck is most of the time beeswax!! Just a good thing to know... ;) (I'm studying as a luthier, so its in ma profession to know these things :D)

[@Hbeanw3]

If one were to sand down a neck is there any specific beeswax finish you would suggest using?

[@sunburnfreezerburn1]

Really great overview , any way you can work with MM to get a test run on the Mariposa? One of the most interesting design I’ve seen and I think it deserves more love, your insight is always unique I think it could be worth it

[@charlesford8692]

Jose Cruz I played one, it is PHENOMENAL. The pickups are so sweet, and the feel is crazy good. They are even more Beautiful in person. It made me put buying a Music Man on my bucket list

[@sunburnfreezerburn1]

Charles Ford thanks to this reply and a few review videos I bought my Mariposa!! 😁

[@gettin_while_growin7]

You make that axe sound sweet👌🏻,yet you always make any axe in your hands sound sweet lol,but it does have a creamy Gibson sound,and with distortion it gets it🤘🏻.Love your playing though bro.All together it's a beautiful looking and sounding axe🎸.Be safe everyone.Prayers...🙏🏻

[@louderthangod]

I just rarely use a trem and even when locked down the to the body I don't find it the same as having a stop tail or string through body...I wish Music Man would make more hard tail options. Whatever, no lack of viable options out there.

[@grzesiekkulpa8735]

Body of this guitar reminds me my Cort G290 FAT :D

[@GaryGreene1977]

Has a similar tone to one of my LPs :) Sick tone :)

[@chucknuqui6770]

I wish they make a sterling version

[@teamsg08]

What is that song he plays a little snippet of at 8:45?

[@PAFrO83]

Dario G - Sunchyme?

[@MrJackrockerman]

Good looking guitar.. 😍♥👍

[@gergelyboros8138]

Yes.

[@ArtLogins]

Not that I care about superstrats, but I had a musicman where position 4 was two neck coils in parallel..... much better than 2 and 4 inner and outer

[@orlandogonzalez-uw8ps]

You should try a proper Axis it has a beefier neck. I can see you digging it.

[@silentwhisperstudios7808]

That guitar just recently came out..? I wonder if they are making any lefties.

[@alexreis3615]

Haven’t heard you play white dove riff in a while

[@mattfreeman587]

Can you do some toska style presents for the helix would be a good video 🤘

[@jturnbu2]

The new HH standard.

[@PawlikJJP]

Did you consider uploading your videos in 4k?

[@richardbesson5701]

Need a cheaper version of that guitar ? I’ve bought a Cort G290FAT a few months ago. Surely not the same range but a nice axe for 650€. Worth checking it ! Star sage.

[@buzzardsinuses4780]

Kinda wish they would’ve given the Sabre the Stingray RS treatment.

[@nethbt]

It's an overpriced Stingray RS..you're essentially paying $1K more for the exotic wood

[@marshall1987x]

Great demo Rabea! If you had to choose between your JP and a Sabre, which would you prefer?

[@deathspawn54]

Wow, that's not a Chapman mate! Im telling!! Lol just kidding sounds great! Keep killin it

[@jasonlewis2483]

I was wondering if you’ve played their Silhouette HSH or Cutlass Stealth and if so, is this Sabre really that much better than either of them?

[@steviesynapse]

Great demo Rabea and great playing. I have owned Musicman guitars and love their build quality, neck profiles and pickup choices but their increased pricing particularly with these guitars retailing at around £3,200 is ridiculous! Unfortunately, for Musicman the timing of the pricing of these guitars is going to look even worse in light of an emerging global recession. When you consider that you can buy a Harley Benton Fusion Pro 2 with flamed maple top and roasted maple neck for around £345 (amazing tops and necks for the price point) and if you wanted, to ‘up spec’ the pickups and every bit of hardware to bring it up to Musicman spec, you would still have £2000 to spare , it’s a dizzying thought. I know the HB’s are made in Indonesia and the MM ‘S are made in the USA but even considering that , £3200 - really!!!

[@djencode]

I think the UK really get's hooped on the price. The cost of this guitar here in Canada is 3900 CAD which is 2,248 Pounds Sterling.

[@mountainman8775]

I‘m listening to this demo and love the sound of my Harley Benton fusion so much, I‘m hearing the tones of the HB all the time. If I was to upgrade my HB and money was no issue, I‘d buy this guitar in a flash, but only because it reminds me of my HB‘s tone so much and that‘s a great guitar for around 300 pounds. The MM has got more sustain, a tad more articulation in the pups and more harmonics, but the basic tone is the same as the fusion HH ebony with Floyd Rose, at 10 times the price. Both are African mahogany with similar build concepts, both are great instruments.

[@talkychris]

Stunning guitar. Shame about the price. Even the Sterling version is £1770-1900 in the UK and that makes it by far the most expensive Indonesian made guitar I can think of.

[@zoranallen5205]

i’ll keep it in mind next time i have a spare 3 grand 🥺

[@27pugsly]

A good guitar for Rush covers ! Or cover band

[@kporshnev]

Thanks for demo! Rabea, which guitar is more versatile do you think, jp15 or sabre (or PRS custom 24 piezo)? I want to buy a high-end guitar, but don't have a chance to play it in the store.

[@boddumblues]

Alnico 4 pickups? sounds a bit like it ;-)

[@apuadofrancisco]

The 'S' on Sabre looks like the logo of TwoNotes :D

How does this neck compare to the JP neck or an ibanez prestige wizard neck???

'Bea, how does this compare to your JP15 tonewise? your sig ML1? inquiring minds want to know!! :)

[@Aint1S]

Going a bit Motorhead with the teeth grinding mout movements... 🤔 🤣👍🏼 For some reason the neck looks shorter on this guitar and it isn't because if the fisheye lens.

RABEA! Can you show us how you record clean AND dirty guitars at home these days? I'm trying to get into it, and it all sounds like shit. Show us, step by step, how the audio signal goes from you fingers to your monitors? I've seen all your videos, and I'm still just as wise. Which plugins to use, why, how, etc etc. And please show how to get good tones WITHOUT using amps or OX BOX, or Amp expander etc. Just plug guitar / pedalboard in interface, and show what you do? Please? :)
