Chapman's take on the classic T-style reaches new heights with this iteration of the ML3 Traditional! Featuring Chapman's "Angry Mule" P90 in the neck and a "Vintage Tone" single-coil in the bridge — the ML3 Traditional offers fat yet versatile T-type tones with plenty of iconic "spank".
As part of Chapman's accessible Standard Series, the ML3 Traditional provides premium performance at an affordable price-point. With contemporary features that include rolled fingerboard edges, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, jumbo frets and a recessed heel joint — this instrument can become your 'number 1' workhorse!
