ML1 PRO

MODERN

Welcome to the return and renaissance of our sleek and stealthy flagship, the ML1 Pro Modern. Available in Cyber Black, Liquid Teal, and Morpheus Flip Gloss. And Baritone and 7 String options.

We’ve approached this instrument from the ground up. Our primary objective was to realize a more ergonomic and refined design fully. We achieved this in part through the assimilation of requests from the public, alongside tweaks and modifications from Chapmans own hard-working R and D team.

The new ML1 Pro Modern is more comfortable to play than ever, featuring a fully upgraded body contour and carved top, with increased upper fret access and a stunning contemporary look. It features an all-new, proprietary, carved/four bolt construction, allowing the feel and access of a set through neck, with the practicality of a bolt on!

Action-packed full of spec like Stainless steel frets, USA Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient Humbuckers, and Hipshot tuners, this modern rock machine is the tool you need for the job.

  • FINISHES Cyber Black (Satin), Liquid Teal (Satin), Morpheus Flip (Gloss).

PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION

Chapman’s ML1 Pro Modern boasts a lightweight Basswood body that serves as a superbly-balanced tonal foundation for its versatile pickup selection. An ergonomically-contoured lower horn allows for unrestricted access to all 24 frets too!

SEYMOUR DUNCAN PICKUPS

Great pickups ensure great sound. With a Seymour Duncan Pegasus humbucker in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Sentient in the neck position, the tonal breadth of the Chapman ML1 Pro Modern is rich and crisp.
