ML2
MODERN
Ten years ago Chapman Guitars launched the ML2, our own stripped-back take on a classic. A decade later we are relaunching our ML2 as a tweaked, refined and redefined model.
With our focus on tuning stability and playability, we have employed a “satisfyingly straight string angle“ via our new “Pennant” headstock design, bringing a balance of tension across the strings. All the correct ingredients are in place to deliver a variety of tones coupled with superior playability. From the Macassar ebony fretboard and our super rolled edges, to our own Chapman Stentorian Zerø, ALNICO 5 Humbuckers, this beautiful satin finished singlecut will deliver everything you need to get the job done.
Repeat after me “I don’t need another guitar”… clicks ‘Add To Cart’.
