Inspired by its highly coveted Pro range counterpart, the ML3 Modern Standard is now available in a stunning, satin finish.

Simple yet elegant, you’ll find it hard to take your eyes away from the lovingly stained Ash top in either Deep Red, Slate Black or Sage Green. But it’s not all just about looks, this stripped back stealth machine is equipped with a Macassar Ebony fretboard andperfectly rolled edges, whilst at the core of this beast a pair of powerful Ceramic Chapman Sonorous Zerø humbuckers will deliver every blow clearly.

If you’re after simplicity of form delivered in an understated-underdog then look no further than the ML3 Modern Standard.
