Desiring a swift, body-hugging guitar with an air of aggression, merchants Sterling by Music Man and Tosin Abasi present the cutting-edge Kaizen at a significantly reduced budget -trimming close to $3,000 from its original cost.

The Sterling Kaizen, a revised edition of the innovative electric guitar designed by Tosin Abasi in partnership with Ernie Ball Music Man, is now available for purchase. This new model aims to make the forward-thinking design more accessible to a broader audience.

Priced at $849 for the six-string version and $899 for the seven-string, the Sterling Kaizen is significantly more affordable than the original, which retailed at $3,999. This new model has been developed by Sterling Systems, Inc., based in Maple Grove, Minnesota.

The Sterling Kaizen preserves essential elements from the Music Man model while making changes that are beneficial. The guitar features a double-cut body made from nyatoh, a 25.5" scale length, and a roasted maple neck topped with 24 frets and a rosewood fingerboard.

One of the notable differences is the radius, which is 15.75" compared to the innovative Infinity radius of the original Kaizen. This change might offer a more traditional playing feel for guitar fans who have been asking for a more affordable and conventionally inclined version of the Kaizen.

The Sterling Kaizen is equipped with Steinberger gearless tuners, a Modern tremolo, and regular ceramic humbuckers. It also boasts a bold and impactful, yet familiar, guitar shape, available in two colours: Firemist Purple Satin and Stealth Black.

Sterling by Music Man has released regular-scaled six- and seven-string formats of the Kaizen, making it accessible to a wider range of players. Tosin Abasi, the guitarist and co-designer of the Kaizen, notes that the guitar embodies a fast-playing, body-hugging, and aggressive design.

You can purchase the Sterling Kaizen directly from Sterling by Music Man's website. Whether you're a seasoned guitarist or a beginner looking for a unique instrument, the Sterling Kaizen offers an exciting opportunity to experience the futuristic design of Tosin Abasi's innovative electric guitar at a more affordable price.
