Overview

A modern masterpiece designed for the progressive player.

The Ernie Ball Music Man Kaizen guitar is the result of a visionary collaboration between the Ernie Ball Music Man design team and renowned guitarist Tosin Abasi. Crafted with forward-thinking design and cutting-edge technology, the Kaizen is built to inspire the modern player. Its sleek, contoured alder body, roasted figured maple neck, and multi-scale ebony fretboard are all crafted with Tosin Abasi’s unique playing style in mind. Whether you’re exploring new sonic territories or pushing the boundaries of technical playing, the Kaizen delivers unrivaled playability and tonal versatility.

HT Humbuckers for Dynamic, High-Output Tone

The Kaizen is equipped with Ernie Ball Music Man’s new HT bridge humbucker and a custom offset neck humbucker, delivering a dynamic range of tones from searing leads to articulate cleans. The 3-way switch is wired with a custom middle position, offering expanded tonal flexibility for players who need versatility in any musical setting. Whether you're playing metal, jazz, or progressive rock, the Kaizen provides the tonal control and power you need.

Multi-Scale "Infinity Radius" Fretboard for Enhanced Playability

The multi-scale length fretboard on the Kaizen features an "infinity radius" design, providing improved visibility of the fretboard in playing position and enhancing overall playability. The roasted figured maple neck and ebony fretboard offer a fast, smooth playing experience, while the custom-designed contours of the body ensure comfort during long performances. With Tosin Abasi's innovative approach to design, the Kaizen is built for players who push the limits of what a guitar can do.

Designed for Players Who Demand Innovation and Precision

The Kaizen is crafted for modern players who require precision, versatility, and cutting-edge design. The Music Man tremolo system allows for smooth, precise tremolo action, while the Steinberger gearless tuners provide superior tuning stability. Whether you’re performing complex rhythms or intricate solos, this guitar is built to deliver the control and reliability you need. Each Kaizen comes with a G&G hardshell case for ultimate protection.
