I am thinking to order either a rabea massad sabre or a standard sabre HT.

I like the Rabea estethically but sound wise, from review on youtube, maybe I prefer the HT pickups. HT pickups seem more natural sounding, while the Silos seem too compressed and only really good for metal / chugging.

What is your experience? Is there anybody who tried both?

Cheers,

Claudio

Don’t write BKP Silos off, they are great pickups with tons of clarity. The bridge may be a little bit on the dark side, but the neck is basically a PAF.

I got to mess around with Rabea and I really liked it all around. Now I can barely play, but as far as a guitar goes I didn't have any issues with the custom pickups (bareknuckle i believe) and I like the switching as well. My only issue, it's so crazy expensive.
