Its angular, ergonomic Nyatoh body is lightweight for long-lasting comfort. You benefit from the responsiveness of 2 ceramic humbucker pickups and the stability of the floating vibrato. The torrefied maple neck and gearless Steinberger action guarantee precision playability across all 24 frets.

Presentation
The Sterling Kaizen is the result of a collaboration with Tosin Abasi, founder of Animals as Leaders. This guitar transposes the avant-garde design of the original Music Man model to a standard 25.5" scale.
The nyatoh body is lightweight and ergonomically designed for comfort during long playing sessions. The three-piece torrefied maple neck offers excellent stability and a fluid feel. The rosewood fingerboard houses 24 frets, which are accessible thanks to the angular shape of the body.
Two open-coil ceramic humbuckers deliver a clean attack and strong presence. The 3-position selector and 2 controls simplify sound management without limiting versatility. The modern floating bridge allows expressive vibratos while maintaining good stability. The Steinberger Gearless tuners provide remarkable tuning precision and optimised string tension.
Last but not least, the guitar and fittings are a bold black for a full black design!
