Product Description

The Chapman ML1 Hybrid is an affordable '80s-inspired tone monster! Immensely flexible with its HSS configuration comprising proprietary Chapman pickups, the ML1 Hybrid has a potent voice and high-end looks to boot.

Featuring a rock-solid Roasted Maple neck, a smooth 2-point tremolo and a Graph Tech TUSQ nuts among a host of other high-quality appointments - the ML1 Hybrid is one of the finest instruments to join Chapman's Standard series yet!

Premium Body Construction

Chapman's ML1 Hybrid boasts a sustain-rich Mahogany body that serves as the perfect tonal base for the versatile pickup selection. Adorned with a highly-figured Flamed Maple veneer, this instrument exerts a truly premium aesthetic - especially with its gorgeous reveal body binding. An ergonomically-contoured lower horn and recessed bolt-on neck joint allows for unrestricted access to all 22 frets too!

Roasted Maple Neck

Chapman guitars are renowned for having addictively-good neck profiles. The ML1 Hybrid is no exception, and is certain to keep you playing for hours on end with its comfortable C-shaped neck carve and rolled fingerboard edges. A smooth satin finish enhances the neck's playability even further, offering an ultra-fast surface to shred upon!

A feature only found typically on expensive instruments, the Chapman ML1 Hybrid's Maple neck has been roasted to remove all of the natural moisture retained by the wood. This process makes the neck far less vulnerable to warping when exposed to varying climates, ensuring incredible tuning stability and minimal adjustment.

Proprietary Chapman Pickups

Paying homage to those who modified traditional single-coil equipped instruments back in the '80s, the ML1 Hybrid is a powerful yet well-rounded tone machine combining the refined and clear tones of the Chapman "Venus Witch" zero single-coils with the heroic and powerful punch of the ceramic Chapman Sonorous Zero.

Attain aggressive, saturated sounds with high-gain amp settings, or achieve glassy "out-of-phase"-style clean tones via the 5-way switch's 2nd and 4th positions. Whatever the genre - the Chapman ML1 Hybrid delivers!

I love this machine. It came already set up but I lowered the action a bit so it plays very well. I am a relatively old beginner and the jumbo frets are ideal for my chubby fingers. Even I can make great sounds. The special offer price made it a "no brainer" to purchase.

This guitar is amazing value for the money. The pickups sound great. The tuners are stable. String changes are easy because the ball ends slip right out of the tremolo block, and I don't have to use Bullet End Strings to keep the string from being jammed in the tremolo block. Frets are finished perfectly, and the neck is very comfortable. Overall, it looks like a lot of thought went into this instrument's design in addition to applying years of lessons learned to perfect the instrument manufacturing at this price point. Well Done!
