“I want the guitar to play fast, to wear close to the body, and communicate a degree of aggression”: Sterling by Music Man and Tosin Abasi bring the futuristic Kaizen to a new low price point – slashing nearly $3k off the original

Sterling by Music Man Kaizen.

After first announcing its arrival in January, Sterling by Music Man has finally launched a more accessible version of the highly acclaimed, Tosin Abasi-designed Kaizen model.

Back at NAMM 2022, the Animals As Leaders guitarist surprised-announced that he had partnered with Ernie Ball Music Man to design the Kaizen – a futuristic electric guitar that introduced a new body shape and offered a range of cutting-edge specs geared towards contemporary players.
