Hi all.
I bying a sabre 2. It's a sunburst. Pretty worn out. But I like that. It says 7th of May 1979 on the neck.
Pictures here:
http://s1308.photobucket.com/user/thoma ... slideshow/It seems to be Pretty modified, so I'd like to know whats is stock and what is not, but in general im interested in Any info you might have. 'Cause i know nothing about this one...
It has a music man vibrato system with a number A007185. I looks like this is actually made from the beginning but im not sure. the cutout seems vey pro. But all the pictures of sabre 2 i've seens is without vibrato systems.
The preamp has ben removed but it seems like the original pickups is actually on it, but wired for passive usage. Can this be true? I know very little of pickups and the posibillities with them.
The only controls on it are a threeway switch for choosing neck/bridge/mix, a volumen knob and some kind of tone control. not dark/light but more like pickup mix ratio, phase or something. The wires from both pickups goes to this second knob.
So only two knobs, a threeway pickup swicth and some holes where the original parts use to stick out.
It has cutout for a third humbucker. This seems homemade in the wood, but im not absolutly sure cause the plate hole is very pro. The pickup is gone so there is just a hole covered with some duck tape.
It sounds very gdod but really needs new frets.
How modyfied is it you tink, and what is stock features?
Any info would be great.
