No headstock logo -- Is this a legit Sabre ?

[DrKev]

Yes, absolutely not a Music Man neck. The body looks great though.

Curious -- how much did you end up spending for this? So weird that they would replace the neck. I guess the original neck must have been damaged.

 

[Rbg]

I would assume that making a custom neck elsewhere vs order a replacement of damaged one from EBMM wold not save you that much more, so why do that...

 

[dibart77]

agree, if it was damaged you could return the damaged neck and EBMM would make a new one and I can't imagine it being much more expensive than elsewhere. So maybe the owner didn't like the EBMM profile? Who knows...

 

[DrKev]

Yeah, maybe they really wanted an unmarked fretboard, sold the original neck to fund the custom made replacement?

 

[silence.speaks]

Yeah I wish I could A>B it with another Sabre. I will say that coming from my Luke this neck feels like it has speed bumps for frets comparatively. Bends are super smooth due to them but I'm not sure I'm a fan of them right now.

It’s been re necked imo.

It’s been re necked imo.

Yeah we all know it's not the original neck. But we're curious as to why.
