Product Description

Chapman Guitars have updated the ML1 Pro Modern formula to make it one of their best looking, sounding, and feeling guitars to date! Loaded with Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus humbuckers, the ML1 Pro can produce powerful yet versatile tones and the ash top with Zima Blue finish gives it a eye-catching aesthetic. Add to this the roasted maple neck, Macassar ebony fingerboard, and rolled edges for a smooth playing experience.

Body & Neck

This ML1 Pro Modern features an ash body with a solid ash carve top. Ash is a lightweight wood that won't take its toll on your back and has a striking wood grain that really comes through with this Zima Blue finish.

This guitar has a satin-finish roasted maple neck which looks and feels great but has the added benefit of increased stability. The ML1 Pro Modern is a neck-through design, which not only further increases stability, it also improves sustain and resonance. The ebony fretboard provides a smooth, natural-feeling playing surface and the rolled fingerboard edges further add to the comfort of the neck.

Hardware & Electronics

Chapman have loaded this guitar with Seymour Duncan humbuckers, a Sentient in the neck and a Pegasus in the bridge. The Sentient is a modern take on the classic PAF tone, offering balanced, articulate tone with vintage output that's great for a wide range of styles. The Pegasus, on the other hand, offers more aggression while retaining balance and responsiveness which makes it perfect for rock through to progressive metal.

The 5-way pickup switch allows you to incorporate coil-split tones for when you need a thinner, snappier sound, expanding the versatility of this guitar. With Hipshot grip-lock locking tuners, a Graph Tech black TUSQ XL nut, and a hardtail bridge you get excellent tuning stability allowing you to riff and bend to your heart's content without ending up wildly out-of-tune.

The neck is very confortable. The neck through brings a lot of sustain. I like the bridge and saddles thatbare very flat, with no hotspot. This is my first 24 frets guitar and I can finally access the top frets with my large hand (I also have a strat and I have troubles to reache the 18th and above). The guitar is gorgeous. But the finish has small flaws. The neck body joint at the back is not smooth (maybe I'm too picky). Also there was a small wood debris on a horn. I could remove it and it's almost invisible. The factory needs to clean more thoroughly before applying the finish. Nevertheless, I find the guitar beautiful. Also, for around 1000£, there could be a gig bag.

Great guitar, sounds good, plays well, looks amazing! Sound is very good but I would have liked a bit more versatility with the control layout like they used to have on the earlier models - I miss a full coil tap, simple and effective though this solution is.
