Dear Music Man community,
I just bought a 1978 Sabre II guitar. The original bridge was swapped for a tremolo system, the neck-plate was changed and the string tree was replaced.
Thank God the current tremolo system did not require any routing in the guitar body when installed. This means I can just unscrew it and replace it with a genuine old Music Man bridge. Same thing with the neck plate: the current after market brass neck plate measures the same size of a proper Music Man one. Finally, I can remove the current string holder on the headstock and put a proper Sabre II string tree.
I have contacted the Music Man customer service. They were very friendly in their reply but they don't have parts dating back from 45 years ago, which I fully understand.
Could anyone give me any advice? Even better, would anyone here have these spare parts and would sell them to me?
Many thanks and take care
Stephane
