The MTD Kingston Saratoga Deluxe retains the classic design cues of the last generation while modern specs provide a more boutique experience.

The MTD Kingston Saratoga features an alder body, a roasted maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. 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 Saratoga Deluxe undergoes a rigorous quality control and setup process in their 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 preamp provides +/- 6db of boost and cut across bass/middle/treble. The Active/Passive switch couples the passive hum cancelling J-style pickups directly to the output and engages the passive tone control.
