ML1 Hybrid
Description
This HSS configured tonal monster is not just business at the neck and party at the bridge! Paying homage to those who modified traditional single coil equipped instruments back in the 80's, the ML1 Hybrid is a powerful, yet flexible machine combining the refined and clear tones of the Chapman "Venus Witch" zero single coils with the heroic power punch of the ceramic Chapman Sonorous Zero. With a modern recessed bolt on construction, coupled with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, the ML1 Hybrid is perfectly formed and ergonomically designed for comfort and playability. With a choice of flame maple on the "Abyss" and "Cali Sunset" finish or quilt maple on our "Sarsen" your hands will thank you and your neighbours will eventually forgive you...
Features
Roasted Maple Neck
A roasted maple neck helps prevent warping, but it needs to be comfortable too. A smooth satin finish and rolled fretboard edges come as standard and make this guitar highly playable.
Premium Body Construction
Chapman’s ML1 Hybrid boasts a thin lightweight Mahogany body and has a versatile pickup selection and a natural tactile warmth emphasised by it’s Flame Maple veneer top. Ergonomically designed, this guitar is pick-up-and-playable with a shape that gives you an exciting playing experience.
Chapman Pickups
Boasting a Chapman Sonorous Zero humbucker in the bridge and a pair of Chapman “Venus Witch” zero single coils in the middle/neck positions, the tonal breadth of the Chapman ML1 Hybrid rocks. . Attain punchy, saturated sounds with high-gain amp settings, or achieve glassy “out-of-phase” clean tones via the 5-way switch’s 2nd and 4th positions.
