Chapman ML1-7 Pro Diego Cavallotti Signature 7-String Electric Guitar in Red Mist

Founded in 2009, Chapman Guitars has become a key player in the musical instrument industry despite its short history. Specialising in high-performance guitars that don't break the bank — they're perfect for contemporary, budget-conscious musicians!

Key Features

• ML1-7 Pro Dave Cavallotti Signature — Built to be ergonomic, comfortable, and perfect for heavy metal, this ML1 Pro features rolled fretboard edges, contoured body carves and Seymour Duncan Distortion 7 humbuckers that produce a deep, dark, and heavy tone.
• 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.
• 24 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 — Stacked single-coils in the bridge/neck positions, the tonal breadth is something to behold!
• 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.

This 7 String signature Dave Cavalloti electric guitar is equipped with high-end components such as the Seymour Duncan Pickups, Hipshot Grip-Lock Tuners, A Roasted Maple Neck & Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets to name a few.

Built to the ergonomic specification of Cavallotti, the ML1-7 Pro features front upper and lower spoon cuts, a rear tummy cut, a rear lower spoon cut & a rear heel contour to make playing as effortless as possible, allowing for some fast and heavy fretwork.

Who is Diego Cavallotti?

Diego rose up through the ranks performing in several rock/metal bands in the underground scene of Milan over the years before joining the Italian rap/metalcore band Mellowtoy in 2013 where he spent time touring Italy and Europe. A few years later he met Marco “Maki” Coti Zelati (bass player of Lacuna Coil) while Marco was producing Mellowtoy’s last release “Lies”. In 2015 he left Mellowtoy and took an opportunity to join Lacuna Coil as the official live guitar player for the entire “Delirium” world tour!
