Sabre Syren 6

Sabre Syren 6

You may not be familiar with the name, but Sabre has been making serious waves with its hand-built guitars since 2009. Now, the company’s new Stock Series brings its meticulous build quality to the masses, with prices starting from £979.

The good guys at Sabre have been kind enough to send the new Syren 6 down to us, so we thought we’d share some shots of this shred-ready axe.

For the full review of the Sabre Syren 6, check out Total Guitar issue 255, on sale 9 June.

Sleek, sophisticated… this Sabre’s all kinds of sharp, and the hand-rubbed oil and wax finish looks great up close
