Materials & construction

Kingston pairs a thick, CNC-milled black cotton-fiber and wood-pulp composite with some of the broadest temples made for the Sires Crown collection. Diagonal seams carry Santos rosewood, oak and blue poplar across the right temple and front. The grain and cuts turn upright toward the left temple, where navy poplar meets gray oak and Santos rosewood. The frame uses riveted five-barrel hinges.

The woods

Santos rosewood, also known as pau ferro, is a South American hardwood with dark streaks through its reddish-brown grain. Fender uses pau ferro for the fingerboard on its Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster. In Kingston, gray and blue oak make the changes in grain direction visible, and pressure-dyed blue and navy poplar bring color into the wood while leaving the grain visible.
