Just for fun...

I was looking at EBMM Majesty 6 guitars and learned the Kaizen 6 was available. I knew the Kaizen 7 existed, but I have enough to do with six strings so I don't need more.

I ordered a Kaizen 6 (Indigo); it was so good, I got two more (White and Mint) within a week, and maybe buying another soon (Black).

If it had a floating trem like the Majesty, it would be perfect for me.

The pickups sound great, the playing is comfortable, I like the look and ergonomics, it just works great for what I want and need. I have a fav hardtail model (Ibanez PS), and floating trem model (Jackson Rhoads X series), but my fav "does everything guitar" are my EBMM Kaizen 6.

I wish they'd do a Sterling, these EBMM ain't cheap! These are my first EB guitars too, wish I paid attention to them sooner.

What's your fav?
 
The 1983-85 Charvels; 1986 Jackson strats seem to check all the boxes for me...the 08/09 USA Charvel Pro Mods have my fav neck profile that seems to coincide with the vintage versions I've owned. Grew up playing Floyds so I prefer them over HTs. I have a particular 1986 Jackson pointy that is the first maple neck/factory Floyd I've had. It's my favorite of any guitar I've owned to this point.
 
I love high end EBMM but don't have enough income to justify one still

My favorite guitar is probably my silverburst standard but unfortunately I have to sell it

After that, the carlino impulse is second because of weight and balance issues for large people
 
My junky looking 1973 Les Paul Deluxe(converted into a Standard) with routing and full size humbuckers. Lots of mods and upgrades to the things that make a difference. The neck is a 3-piece and sanded very well with 1500-grit. The profile is insane. As they say, "LIKE BUTTA". I have a 1998 Jackson SL-1, in a custom ordered Black Cherry color that is also loaded up with the FU upgrades parts and EMG Lukather set and electronics plus their SPC control.

1993 Surfcaster Std.

I thought I wanted a 3 lipstick tube pickup guitar. Turns out the original Kent Armstrong pickups were weak and lifeless. However, this guitar just plays perfectly.

Getting someone to make me a new pickguard was like pulling teeth so I made this one myself. I put in some Lollars. A Novel Goldfoil and a Royal T. Now it sounds as great as it plays.

i play bass so...
one of my favourite jazz basses, MIM, '00, gigged/recorded a lot with this one, modded a lot too lol (now it has suhr pickups, gotoh bridge, graphtech saddles, CTS pots switchcraft output, grover tuners, hipshot string tree)
 
This Warmoth mutt. Body is from my first build over 20 years ago. Neck is only a few years old and I just threw it on there temporarily…I thought. They mate up so perfectly I can’t take it off now.

EBMM Kaizen; not a signature, but a design collaboration between EBMM and Tosin Abasi; he has his own guitar company, Abasi Concepts

Ahh. Yeah, I know he has his own guitar company. I didn’t know it was a collaboration.
