The new V2 models feature carbon fiber support rods in the neck. They also have Hipshot licensed tuners.

For the discerning player in search of a handmade look and sound, MTD presents 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 features an elegant matching headstock, and asymmetrical neck, providing exceptional ergonomics, ranking it high among players as one of Michael Tobias Designs' most popular models. The V2 version is equipped with Hipshot open gear tuning machines and carbon fiber support rods, for increased stability and durability.
