“This finish uses real silver in the paint… before the final clear coat is applied, the silver oxidises naturally, allowing the finish to change over time”: Ernie Ball Music Man launches Tosin Abasi's Kaizen in Gallium and it is the coolest finish ever

The Ernie Ball Music Man Kaizen Gallium has a custom aged metallic finish, making Tosin Abasi's signature electric guitar look like an alien artefact.

Ernie Ball Music Man has launched a run of Tosin Abasi’s Kaizen signature guitar in a limited edition Gallium finish that ages over time to give each guitar its own unique look – and what a look it is.

Seriously, when the Animals As Leaders guitarist first teased this Gallium-finished Kaizen in February, we couldn’t quite believe if. It looked like it was a one-off, a distant ancestor of Joe Satriani’s Chrome Boy recovered from an alien spacecraft.
