Developed in collaboration with Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders, the Sterling by Music Man Kaizen brings the innovative design language of the original Ernie Ball Music Man Kaizen to an accessible, fixed 25.5" scale instrument. Sleek, ergonomic, and unmistakably modern, the Kaizen is designed for players who want effortless upper-fret access, powerful humbucking tones, and expressive tremolo performance in a distinctive contemporary guitar.

The lightweight, contoured nyatoh body is paired with a roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. A flat 15.75" radius and 24-fret layout provide a fast, spacious playing surface that's particularly well suited to technical playing, wide bends, and extended-range-inspired techniques while retaining a familiar six-string 25.5" scale length.

A pair of uncovered ceramic humbuckers delivers focused, aggressive tones with plenty of definition and midrange presence. Straightforward volume and tone controls plus a three-way pickup selector keep operation simple while providing the core range of dual-humbucker sounds.

The Kaizen also features Steinberger Gearless Tuners, which use a compact, low-profile design with straight string pull for precise tuning and reduced friction. They're paired with a modern floating tremolo for expressive pitch effects, from subtle vibrato to dramatic dives.

Finished in stealthy matte black with a matching headstock, the Sterling Kaizen captures Tosin Abasi's forward-looking design philosophy in a striking instrument that's equally at home with progressive metal, fusion, modern rock, and experimental playing.
