First off, great looking bass. I have four Sabres, including a Cutlass ii. I have watched pricing closely for a while, and the preEB Sabres seem to have gone down in price since they have been re-issued. I paid $1200 for a 95% mint 79 Sabre just a few months ago. I also bought a brand new one today from gtr ctr for $1299. You might be able to get a little more yours if you wait it out. Hope this helps.
