Kingston super
A versatile tone monster
Updated for 2026! The MTD Kingston Super is a precise combination of power and finesse. With high output humbucking pickups and myriad switching and EQ options, you will never be lost in the mix or wishing you had more.
The Super features an Ash body and Roasted Maple neck with a Roasted Maple and Ebony fingerboards. The roasted neck not only provides more stability, but also makes for a more ‘broken in’ sound and feel. MTD’s asymmetrical neck and compound fingerboard radius allow the player hours of comfortable, fatigue free playing. The Buzz Feiten Tuning System provides precise intonation up and down the fretboard.
Like all MTD Kingston instruments, the Super undergoes a rigorous quality control and setup process in our Kingston, NY facility from master technicians. The robust, top-loading, Quick Release Bridge allows for speedy and easy string changes, while the Licensed Hipshot Ultralite Tuners provide confidence without neck dive.
The active EQ of the Super features +/- 6db of boost/cut for each of the three specifically selected frequency points, like the rest of the Kingston models. However, the Super also sports a 3 way mini toggle for each of its MM style pickups. In the down position, the pickup is in Series Mode, providing a bold punch and aggressive growl. In the middle position, the pickup is in Single Coil Mode, which will make each pickup sound brighter and sweeter. In the up position, the pickup is in Parallel Mode, providing slightly lower output than Series Mode but more clarity and definition. When both pickups are in Single Coil Mode and the blend pot is in the center position, the pickups are hum-cancelling.
With all these premium appointments, flexible electronics and finishes to match, we think the Super is just that - super!
