Rapier Saffire Ultra Electric Guitar - Greenburst

The Rapier Saffire Ultra is the modern flagship of the Rapier range, redesigned by Alan Entwistle to combine British vintage heritage with cutting-edge playability. Dressed in a stunning Greenburst finish, it’s an eye-catching instrument with a voice as bold as its looks—perfect for players who want something distinctive in both tone and style.

Its lightweight okoume double-cutaway body keeps the guitar resonant and comfortable, while the hard rock maple neck with Indian rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth, confident playing surface across a full double-octave range. A zero fret ensures consistency and clarity across open and fretted notes, making this guitar feel precise under the fingers.

The Saffire Ultra is powered by three Alan Entwistle EWR64 mini double-coil pickups, delivering crystal-clear highs, warm mids, and punchy lows. With individual rocker switches for each pickup, a master volume and tone, and a mid-boost switch, the tonal options are vast—ranging from sparkling cleans to gritty, driven textures.

Hardware has been designed with serious performance in mind: a Rapier Hi Lo vibrato system paired with a roller bridge ensures tuning stability, while a GraphTech Nubone nut adds sustain and consistency. Chrome hardware and a multi-ply pickguard adorned with the Saffire logo complete the vintage-meets-modern aesthetic.

At Musicmaker, we admire instruments that bring history to life while offering something new, and the Rapier Saffire Ultra in Greenburst does exactly that. It’s a bold, versatile guitar with timeless personality and modern dependability.
