Product Description

A trusted tonewood mix, punchy pickups and comfortable playability makes the ML1 Modern Baritone an outstanding addition to the Chapman Guitars catalogue. Better still, the V2 models are made in a new factory - boasting baked tonewoods for improved resonance and durability, rolled fretboard edges and US-made pickup magnets. They're onto a winner...

New & Improved Pickups

All V2 Chapman instruments are equipped with brand new pickups made in-house in their new factory. Unlike their previous pickup designs, these feature high-quality magnets sourced from the US. Many guitar pickups use generic magnets, the same that you might find in cars or household appliances. These, however, are tailor-made for use in guitars! If you thought the previous humbuckers and single coils sounded great, you’ll love the fresh tone of these precisely-wound models.

Chapman has also re-voiced the pickups to provide crisper articulation, a more pronounced mid-range and smoother low and high-end frequencies. You’re guaranteed to get studio sound quality and brilliant definition in live use; cutting through the mix effortlessly!

Body & Neck

Chapman have opted for a combination of classic tonewoods for the V2 ML1 Modern Baritone's body - Alder with a stunning Ash veneer top. These materials are synonymous with Fender guitars, and have been used ever since the release of their very first solid-bodies back in the '50s. Offering scooped yet crystal-clear mids and rich, resonating sustain; these woods provide real tonal character.

For the neck, Chapman has opted for smooth satin-finished Maple, with a bolt-on configuration featuring a velute. This reinforcement, combined with a dual-action truss rod, means sturdy tuning stability and excellent proficiency with drop-tuning. The slippery satin finish and familiar C-shaped neck means that you'll feel right at home - whatever your style!

Hardware & Electronics

Chapman have loaded the V2 ML1 Modern Baritone Standard with two Sonorous Zero humbuckers; power, clarity and punchy mids perfectly complement the tonewood cocktail, resulting in firm, chunky baritone sounds. Expect seismic bass frequencies and a crystal-clear mid-range, clean or distorted.

A 3-way blade pickup switch and a push-pull coil-tap vastly expands your tonal palette. What first appears to be a simple HH configuration suddenly becomes a hugely versatile instrument that'll efficiently handle whatever you throw at it. Top it off with a Graph Tech Tusq XL nut and alluring black hardware across the board, and you've struck the perfect balance between versatility and attitude.

Beautiful guitar. The pickups are hot as hell but they sound great and the sustain goes on forever. Amazing for the price tag.

The guitar is great! Love the 24 frets, locking tuners, and simply that it's one of the most affordable baritone guitars on the market while still looking incredible!

Mr Stuart Hudson5th Jan 2021

My first Chapman guitar, very happy with it overall - pickups sound great, expected I might want to swap them out but I really like them. The guitar feels and looks amazing, I’ve deducted one star because there a few dead spots on the neck. Not worth the hassle of sending it back, I’ll just get my tech to level the frets but this shouldn’t happen on an instrument at this price in my opinion. Happy with the guitar overall all though, it’s just a minor adjustment.
