ML3 PRO
SEMI HOLLOW
Sparkling like a precious jewel and powered by a pair of the legendary Seymour Duncan Vintage P90's, the new Pro Series ML3 Traditional Semi-Hollow offers a wide range of sumptuous tonal versatility.
Although the P90 pickups, mahogany body and maple top highlight its traditional design, modern features such as the baked maple neck, stainless steel frets, Hipshot locking tuners and glow-in-the-dark side dots ensure it stands up in this modern world.
Whether you need a go to workhorse, or just something a bit different, this new ML3 might just be your new instrument of choice.

ROASTED MAPLE NECK
The ML3 Pro Traditional Semi-Hollow has a great neck profile. It’s comfortable C-Shaped curve, rolled edge fretboard and satin finish gives a smooth sliding grip for easy play. Using roasted wood reduces the guitar’s vulnerability to warping and means it needs minimal adjustment. The stainless steel frets look great on maple and the traditional shape makes this guitar and modern classic.
PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION
As Mahogany wood grain is relatively free of voids and pockets, when used in a guitar body it can produce a sumptuous tone. It has a natural reddish hue that somehow seems to boost the warmth of the sound. Chapman’s ML3 Pro Traditional semi-Hollow is made from lightweight mahogany and has a Straight Maple carved top with traditional F-holes.
SEYMOUR DUNCAN PICKUPS
With a Seymour Duncan Vintage P90 set, the tonal breadth of the Chapman ML3 Pro Traditional Semi-Hollow is wide and versatile. The dual Alnico 5 pickups deliver a unique tonal character with a powerful midrange and higher output than most single coil pickups.
