Sorry, I dont play a Saber, in fact I dont even own an Ibanez. They never really attraacted me. I go for American made, neck thru guitars that's why I love Jacksons and Carvins.

I do play... and I do own a Ibanez but not a sabre. I own one Ibanez 7-string, one Jackson Kelly (my main guitar), one Charvell Randy Rhoads, one BC Rich Bich and some acuostic guitars...
I actually use a 7 string RG, but I'm thinking of switching to a 7-string Saber, if, I can find one. The Ibanez RGs are too heavy for me.
Hey TestamentNut why don't you post a picture of your Saber so we can all see it

I think you have to host the picture on a server. Can you send me a picture of the Saber and of James if you have any?

Don't buy a guitar just because a particular artist does... buy it cause it does something for you...
Personally, I'm into USA Jacksons.

i bought the saber because i always saw people playing them and wondered why. they are killer guitars. its hard to believe theres so much tone in such a small bodied guitar.
i have two main guitars now. a Jackson Kelly. and my brand new American hand made B.C.Rich Ironbird.
does owning a famous guitar count too? i bought one off james many years back. lol yes i do have the pics to prove it too.

i have no way to post pics on here, can someone post it if i send it to them?
i can just give a description of it, james can verify that i own it. he signed and mail it to me. its a Charvel st-? foirgot the number. its a late 80's strat with 2 singles and 1 humbucker. the paint has been sanded of the body and back of the neck. it has a floyd rose and also looks like it was re-fretted(james?). the logo is the scrawled charvel logo. the 2 single coils i believe are seymours hot rails, not sure. the bridge is jacksons cheapo version of an emg, but still a sweet pickup!
I own a black Ibanez Sabre (540 perhaps?) and I love it. It's really light and has a fast neck. Bill Steer from the mighty Carcass also used this guitar.
i plan to have a local luthier build me a custom sabre copy. i'd prefer the ibanez cusom shop, but i know they are $$$ and i dont even know anything about custom shops.

First post to this forum, so a quick hi all to everyone!
I've been a Saber addict for years, if you're after one have a look for the late eighties models. I have two 540S-SH models (one single coil one bucker) with the old IBZ USA pups in them and they really scream. To my ears the warmth and sustain of the body make it a far more versatile instrument than the RG (with exception of the mahogony bodied versions) has always struck me as a little sterile sounding.
EDIT: BLEUCH sorry about the avatar pic I'm used to 70x70 what are we using 140x140 or something?
