B Stock : Chapman ML3 Traditional Radiant Stream Gloss 321

This B Stock Chapman ML3 Traditional in Radiant Stream Gloss is a workhorse T-style guitar with a modern twist, offered at a reduced price due to a small cosmetic dent on the back of the body and a professional fret levelling. With its resonant mahogany body, satin-finished maple neck and classic string-through bridge, it delivers familiar feel and tone with the slick playability and reliability Chapman are known for.

Perfect for players who want a traditional single-cut silhouette with contemporary comfort, this ML3 Traditional pairs a rolled-edge maple fretboard and C-shaped neck with precise closed-gear tuners and a dual action truss rod. The result is a guitar that feels broken-in from day one, holds tuning confidently and is ready for everything from studio sessions to the stage. Please refer to the images for a closer inspection of the cosmetic blemish.

Comfortable, Player-Focused Neck

The satin-finished maple neck with a comfortable C-shaped profile is designed to feel fast and familiar in the hand. Rolled fretboard edges and jumbo nickel frets make bends, vibrato and chord work effortless, while the dual action truss rod helps you dial in a precise setup to suit your playing style.

Resonant Mahogany Body

A solid mahogany body with a gloss finish provides a warm, full-bodied acoustic character with plenty of sustain. The ML3 shape balances well whether you are standing or sitting, giving you a stable platform for long rehearsals and gigs without fighting the instrument.

Stable Hardware and T-Style Bridge

Chapman Classic closed tuners with 18:1 gearing offer smooth, accurate tuning adjustments, while the Chapman string-through T-style bridge enhances sustain and note definition. Combined with the Graph Tech Tusq XL nut, you get a reliable, tuning-stable instrument that responds consistently every time you pick it up.

B Stock Value with Pro Fretwork

This B Stock example has had its frets levelled, giving you an even playing surface across the neck for clean intonation and low action potential. The small dent on the back of the body is purely cosmetic, making this an ideal opportunity to pick up a great-playing ML3 Traditional at a more accessible price. Please check the photos for detailed views of the cosmetic mark.
