Music Man Kaizen 7-String Multi-Scale Electric Guitar in Chalk

The folks at Ernie Ball Music Man proudly present the Kaizen, an all-new visionary collaboration between the company's famous design team and the world-renowned guitarist, innovator, and designer Tosin Abasi. Built for the modern player, the 7-string Kaizen is crafted with forward-thinking design concepts guided by Tosin Abasi's unique playing style and vision.

Offered with a decidedly-contoured Alder body, roasted figured Maple neck, and Ebony fretboard — the multi-scale length fretboard also features an "infinity radius" that provides improved visibility of the fretboard in any playing position. The electronics include a new Music Man HT bridge humbucker, custom offset neck humbucker, and a 3-way switch wired with a custom middle position. The instrument also comes equipped with a Music Man tremolo, Steinberger gearless tuners, and a G&G hardshell case.

Key Features

• Custom Alder Body — Unique angular-shaped body contoured with no flat surfaces for extreme comfort and a balanced feel.
• Roasted Figured Maple Neck — Roasting treatment increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes for rock-solid tuning. The neck is sealed with a smooth oil finish which helps make it feel similar to a well-played guitar neck.
• "Infinity Radius" Fingerboard — Strategically-positioned conical radius increases comfort while maintaining enhanced visibility of the fretboard and uniquely positioned fret markers.
• Multi-Scale Design — The 24.75" to 25.65" (1st to 7th string) multi-scale design provides affirmative string tension for thick and chunky rhythms on the bass strings, with a traditional feel on the treble strings for smooth bends and solos.
• New Music Man Pickups — Custom HT (Heat-Treated) humbucker in the bridge position yields powerful lows with remarkable definition; resulting in one of the hottest pickups on the market. A slanted mini-humbucker in the neck position has been specifically-designed to compliment the Kaizen bridge humbucker, offering an array of dynamic tones with outstanding sonic clarity.
• Multi-Scale Tremolo — Super smooth modern Music Man tremolo with spring dampeners to alleviate unwanted overtones and ringing.
• Steinberger Gearless Locking Tuners — Contemporary low profile and accurate lightweight tuning machines feature smooth rotation and allow for a straight string pull.
• All-Black Hardware — Completes the stealthy and futuristic look; including black pickup covers, tremolo, control knobs and tuners.
