    Music Man Ash Sabre II (A001123) with Sabre - 2EQ & Toggle Switch
    (Original Owner purchased from Happy Logan Music, Denver CO)
    I heard Eric Clapton play it at Red Rocks and bought it the next day!
    P.S. I had to pick between it and a matching fretless 3+1 Bass. OOOOPS!!

    Dave,

    Beautiful guitar!

    Unfortunately we do not have any serial number information on pre-Ernie Ball instruments. The most we can know for sure is that it was built sometime in the late 70's/early 80's, most likely 80-82. There were not a whole lot built, but the exact number we will not ever probably know.

    Your Silhouette in the classic white/maple was completed on 9/1/99. Nice!

    Bazaboy,

    Here's the scoop on these cool Music Man guitars:

    Serial # G29212 is an Axis SS tremolo with MM90, and it has a rosewood top, ash body, and a solid rosewood neck. Completion date: 7/28/05.

    Serial # 95271 is an original Luke with the Floyd Rose tremolo system in Pearl Red. This classic was completed on 2/5/96.

    Hey Dan,
    THanks for the info. Are you sure about 95271? Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1
    It is absolutely a Silo. Perhaps the neck plate was replaced? Thanks.

    No, my bad - I apparently typed in the wrong number! It is showing instead as a HSS Sunburst Silhouette maple - which is of course what it is - built in 5/13/94.

    oops

    Dan

    Boy, someone sure got a sweet deal on that guitar!

    hobo,

    This classic Trans Red Silhouette in the HSS configuration has a production date of 2/6/91. We show it as a trem model (it should be a Schaller tremolo) with a rosewood fretboard. It was originally shipped to our distributor in the UK. Is this yours? If so - picture please!

    Hi,

    Can I get the DOB on my Axis Sport please -- G16806.

    Can you also find out which store it came from?

    Many thanks.

    Hey Den!
    Everything is right. This second hand Silho is bought in Glasgow, 2/06.


    With best regards from San Petersburg, Russia

    Sure, the production date of your beauty is 7/2/04. Our records show it as an SSS trem in Carbon Blue Pearl, maple neck, matching headstock, abalone pickguard - one of my favorite combos! Bet it's sweet ...

    Mervin, your Sunburst/trem Axis Sport was completed on 10/19/01 and was originally sent to the Twelfth Fret in Toronto. Nice!
