Chapman Guitars ML1 Modern Standard in Gloss Midnight Sky

The ML1 Modern is a dual-humbucker guitar that combines classic design with a modern edge. Punchy pickups, a vibrant finish and a simple, comfortable playability make the ML1 Modern a performance instrument through and through. [video_8]Body & NeckChapman have opted for Mahogany for the body, with a stunning Flamed Maple top. This provides you with uncompromising sustain and excellent clarity, particularly in the midrange and top-end. For the neck, they've opted for satin-finished Maple, with a set-neck configuration featuring a volute. This reinforcement, combined with a dual-action truss rod, means sturdy tuning stability and excellent proficiency with drop-tuning. The satin finish and familiar C-shape neck means you'll be right at home, whatever your style! Hardware & ElectronicsChapman have loaded the ML1 Modern with two Sonorous humbuckers; power, clarity, a dense midrange and a hefty low-end perfectly complements the Mahogany and maple construction. Expect soaring sustain and a crystal-clear top-end, 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 black tusq XL nut and alluring black hardware across the board, and you've struck the perfect balance between versatility and attitude.Specifications:Headstock: Straight heritage headstockNeck: Maple with satin finishNeck type: C shape recessed bolt-on neck with veluteTop: Flame maple veneer on flat top with gloss finishBody: Mahogany with gloss finishBody carves: Arm carve, front lower spoon cut, rear tummy cut, rear lower spoon cut, rear heel contourFretboard: Ebony fretboard with rolled edgesBinding: RevealFrets: 24 jumbo nickel fretsFret markers: Pearl side dots and pearl front dot inlays12th fret inlay: Pearl infinityScale length: 648mm (~25.5)Tuners: Chapman classic closed (18:1 gearing)String nut: Graph tech black tusq XL nutTruss rod: Dual actionBridge: Chapman string-through hardtailNeck pickup: Chapman Sonorous Zero humbuckerMagnet: ceramic output: 10.5k ohmsBridge pickup: Chapman Sonorous Zero humbuckerMagnet: ceramic output: 12.5k ohmsPickup: switch 3 way blade switch with coil split on push-pull tone knobControls: Master volume (500k), master tone with push-pull (500k)Strap buttons: Chapman classic strap buttonsCase: Chapman deluxe gig bag
