Kingston z
iconic style and tone made accessible
For the discerning player in search of a handmade look and sound, we have the MTD Z Series, which incorporates many of the superior design elements present in MTD Handmade instruments, into a production model.
Further playing up the boutique-style of this instrument, the Kingston Z features a high quality (and carefully constructed) Mahogany core, with a beautiful Burled Maple top. The carved mahogany body lends a rich voice and darker overtone to the instrument, while the burl top helps to focus the low end, delivering unparalleled beauty and performance.
The Kingston Z, available in 4, 5, and 6-string models, (as well as fretless and left handed versions) an elegant matching headstock, and asymmetrical neck, providing exceptional ergonomics, ranking it high among players as one of our most popular models.
