'80 Music Man Sabre $1200

Sign in to disble this ad
Need to raise some Christmas funds... The neck is dated '79, the body '80. I'll get pics up after I get home from work tonight. Condition wise, probably 7/10. There's plenty of the typical natural finish checking, and a couple of other wear spots. Everything works well. The odd thing about this one is that it's wired active/passive. What's normally the bright switch toggles between active and passive. I got the diagrams (which I'll send along), but the actual preamp is slightly different from what's on the diagram. Weird, but to me anyway, it's probably more useful as it is. Other things....The "A" tuner must have taken a hit at some point and bent just a bit. Not noticeable visually, but it does encounter a bit of a "hang" point as it turns. I put a ton of hours into clean up/refurb, and she looks really really good! $1200 shipped with a gig bag. $1225 shipped with a heavy old style yamaha hardshell case.
