Description
The Kaizen 6-string electric guitar from Ernie Ball Music Man is a revolutionary collaboration between the legendary guitar company and visionary guitarist Tosin Abasi. Designed for contemporary guitarists, the Kaizen incorporates forward-thinking concepts guided by Abasi's progressive playing style. With a contoured alder body and roasted maple neck for comfort, the Kaizen features a multi-scale ebony fretboard with a 24.75 to 25.5" scale length and an Infinity Radius for unparalleled visibility. Powered by Music Man humbucking pickups—a bridge humbucker and custom offset neck humbucker—the Kaizen delivers a range of tones from tight and cutting to huge and dynamic. A Music Man tremolo bridge provides expressiveness while Steinberger gearless tuners ensure precision.
Multi-Scale Fretboard Revolutionizes Playability
The Kaizen's multi-scale ebony fretboard is a visionary design that provides a playing experience like no other. With a scale length that ranges from 24.75" on the treble side to 25.5" on the bass side, the Kaizen offers balanced tension and intonation across all six strings. Its innovative Infinity Radius gives players an unobstructed view of the entire fretboard, enabling faster, more accurate playing. The multi-scale fretboard and Infinity Radius are concepts pioneered by Abasi that have now come to fruition in the revolutionary Kaizen.
Alder Body and Roasted Maple Neck Provide Comfort
The Kaizen features an alder body with contours in all the right places for comfort during long practice or performance sessions. Its roasted maple neck is a premium tonewood prized for stability, strength and playability. Together, the alder body and roasted maple neck create an instrument that feels as good as it sounds.
Pickups Deliver Versatile Tonal Options
The Kaizen is equipped with a Music Man humbucking bridge pickup and custom offset neck humbucker designed for a range of tones perfect for any genre or style. From tight, cutting tones to huge, dynamic sounds, the Kaizen pickups provide guitarists with a versatile sonic palette for any musical situation.
