Chapman ML1 Natural Satin Mahogany 2016 Electric Guitar

This is a Chapman ML-1 Electric Guitar in Natural Satin finish. Made in Korea in 2016, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Ebony fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with a Wilkinson WVPCR tremolo bridge and a set of Grover sealed tuning machines. The pickups in this guitar are in a HSS configuration, with a Chapman Humbucker in the bridge and 2 Chapman Single-Coils in the neck and middle positions. These are wired to a 3-way selector, Master volume and master tone (push/pull split coil) controls.

The ‘C’ profile Maple sits comfortably in the hand, offering a smooth and comfortable playing surface, providing ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the neck. The Jumbo frets and 16” radius provides maximum hand comfort in the chording area, while allowing greater speed and cleaner string bending as the player moves up the neck, great for more technically demanding playing styles. The double cutaway body contours allow unobstructed access to the higher register and provide comfort when playing in a seated position.

The Chapman Humbucker has a balanced output, producing a thick and powerful modern tone whilst offering a tight bottom end, and a searing high frequency cut, making a great pickup for heavy styles of music and modern techniques. The Chapman Single-Coil neck pickup provides crystal clear clean sounds, with more aggressive mids and increased sustain as you crank the gain. This is perfect for high-speed solos and melodic interludes. The single coil in the middle position sits great with a nice balance of bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. Providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips.
