Ernie Ball Music Man proudly unveils the Kaizen - a revolutionary partnership between the EBMM design team and the iconic guitarist, innovator and designer, Tosin Abasi. Tailored for modern playing, the Kaizen is available as a 6 or 7-string and boasts a contoured alder body, roasted figured maple neck and ebony fretboard. Its multi-scale length fretboard employs an "infinity radius" to increase fretboard visibility regardless of playing position. Electronics include a Music Man HT bridge humbucker, a custom offset neck humbucker and a 3-way switch wired with a custom middle setting. Comes complete with a Music Man tremolo, Steinberger gearless tuners and a G&G hardshell case.
