NAMM 2025: Ernie Ball Music Man offshoot Sterling has debuted affordable takes on its futuristic Kaizen model, alongside Rabea Massaad’s signature Sabre and Ryan ‘Fluff’ Bruce’s signature StingRay.
The Kaizen, a collaboration between Music Man and Animals As Leaders' extra-terrestrially talented Tosin Abasi, was first launched at NAMM 2022. New neon colorways and metallic oxidizes-as-you-play finishes have been showcased at the events over the following years, but it's taken until now for the partnership to answer calls for a cheaper Sterling by Music Man version.
