CameronJ Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I have a bucketload of love for my Super 5. Sounds, looks and feels beautiful. Haven’t played a Super 4 or a KZ4 but I have played a Saratoga 4 which has the same neck. It’s possibly the nicest 4 string neck I’ve played. The asymmetry really is lovely in the hand. I compared the Super 5 to the Andrew Gouché Kingston and the stock tone of the Super just felt meatier to me, which I preferred. The coil switching on the Super’s humbuckers means you get much more variety than on the KZ and AG. Of course, more options doesn’t necessarily mean “better” but I love it. The Kingstons are all very solid - whichever one you go for you’ll be getting a really well put together instrument. 1 Quote

The coil switching is a real tempter - it just gives so many options. Any idea on the nut width of the Super4 (and on the KZs for that matter)? Can't track them down anywhere. Main downer seems to be lack of AP switching in the preamp. Do you know if there's a Bart upgrade like with the KZs? Quote
CameronJ Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 The 4s are nice and slim at the nut. To be fair, so are the 5s! The 4s are 38mm I believe. As far as I’m aware there’s no “official” upgrade kit for the Supers like there is with the KZs. 1 Quote
tobiewharton Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks - thought they looked 'jazzy'. Was hoping for at least 40, but rarely can you have it all. Quote
