I went to see Robin Trower last night at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. He still kicks ass on guitar by the way. The opener was a 2 piece band called Strange Vine.

They were an interesting group as the drummer played drums with his right hand and keyboard with his left. He sang too. The guitar player was pretty good... kinda sorta reminded me of Jack White... rather eclectic Americana sound with some psychedelic effects. Interesting thing was, he was playing a pre-Ernie Ball Music Man guitar, looks to be an old Sabre. I don't think I have ever went to a show when the guitar player was playing an old Music Man. Anyway, I thought it was interesting.

Not my photo, got it from the web.

Interesting! I've never seen this before, I'll have to ask around about it. Looks like the headstock does indeed read "MUSIC MAN Sabre"

Yes, Mr. Trower still has it where it counts. Seen him live several times. Always a treat. Thanks for the MM sighting too!

Definitely looks like an old Leo-era Sabre; don't see many of them around any more. I can't tell - it almost looks like this one has aftermarket pickups, but it could just be the angle of the shot.
