Original Product Description

In 2020, Chapman Guitars celebrated their 10th anniversary with the ML1 Pro X model — a kitted-out HSS electric guitar built for superb versatility and peerless performance. To continue this legacy, the "X" has now been reintroduced to the Pro Series and comes in some cool new colours to boot!

Featuring a whole suite of high-end appointments, from the Wilkinson 2-point tremolo to a roasted Maple neck with jumbo stainless steel frets and rolled fingerboard edges, Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and pearl "donut" fingerboard inlays — we can guarantee that this Pro Series Chapman guitar has everything you need to get the job done! This new line also boasts a refined and redesigned bolt-on neck joint, offering greater stability and superior upper fret access.

At the heart of the ML1 Pro X lies a triple threat of Seymour Duncan USA pickups, comprising a couple of Classic Stack Strat Plus single coils and a '59 Custom Trembucker. This set yields a wide tonal palette, making the Chapman ML1 Pro X a "sonic chameleon" of sorts!

Key Features

• Mahogany Body — Provides a deep and sustain-rich sound, covered in a gorgeous finish for a premium look.
• Roasted Maple Neck — "Roasting" is a modern guitar wood treating process whereby moisture is removed from a timber to reduce its weight and increase rigidity. This makes the neck far less vulnerable to warping over time, and ensures incredible tuning stability.
• Rolled-Edge Macassar Ebony Fingerboard — A luxurious and silky material with a stunning grain; enhanced with rolled edges for a smooth, played-in feel.
• 22 Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets — Hard-wearing and corrosion-resistant, with their wide/tall "jumbo" design offering maximum control under the fingers for effortless vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• Seymour Duncan Pickups — Bristling with a '59 Trembucker in the bridge and stacked single-coils in the middle/neck positions, the tonal breadth of the Chapman ML1 Pro X is something to behold!
• Wilkinson 2-Point Tremolo — This famously-stable vibrato unit allows for expressive dives and warbles, whenever inspiration strikes!
• Hipshot Grip-Lock Tuners — Ingenious locking mechanism makes restringing easier and means less string winds are required around the tuning posts; resulting in better tuning stability.
• Graph Tech TUSQ Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
