1978 MUSIC MAN SABRE II pre Ernie Ball Active Circuit Made in USA code VA184

Leo Fender's final guitar design for Music Man and the precursor to the G&L F-100. Active splittable humbuckers with independent treble and bass controls as well as a "bright" switch. Music Man instruments have the benefit of Leo Fender's guidance and the fit, finish, and build are all first-rate for a production solidbody -- as you might expect. Its sound is a bit more aggressive and rocky (though still clear-toned) than your average Fender, though the various switching lets you get into some more classic voices as well. 100% Original Comes in Molded Case as you see in photo.

The frets are nearly virgin and so didn't need a level/dress. Its neck is straight, the truss rod works, and it's playing on-the-dot with hair-over 1/16" EA and 1/16" DGBE action at the 12th fret,
