Description
Welcome to the return and renaissance of our sleek and stealthy flagship, the ML1 Pro Modern.
We’ve approached this instrument from the ground up. Our primary objective was to realize a more ergonomic and refined design fully. We achieved this in part through the assimilation of requests from the public, alongside tweaks and modifications from Chapmans own hard-working R&D team.
The new ML1 Pro Modern is more comfortable to play than ever, featuring a fully upgraded body contour and carved top, with increased upper fret access and a stunning contemporary look. It features an all-new, proprietary, carved/four bolt construction, allowing the feel and access of a set through neck, with the practicality of a bolt on!
Action-packed full of spec like Stainless steel frets, USA Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Humbuckers, and Hipshot tuners, this modern rock machine is the tool you need for the job.
Features
Roasted Maple Neck
We know the importance of a good neck profile, so we’ve ensured that the ML1 Pro Modern gives good neck. Our signature C-shaped neck carve combined with rolled Roasted Maple fretboard edges and a satin finish make this guitar playable whilst also looking the business. As the Roasted Maple neck makes the guitar less vulnerable to warping in changeable environmental conditions, your guitar will stay in great condition for longer.
