Here for sale we have a Chapman Ml1 Modern Standard in Lightning Storm finish. Built in Indonesia in 2022, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a Mahogany body topped with a Poplar Burl veneer, Satin-Finished Maple neck and 24 fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with Chapman Classic Closed tuners and Chapman String-through Hardtail. The pickups installed are a pair of Seymour Duncan Pegasus Humbuckers. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, master volume and master tone controls.

The Maple neck plays very well, with its Satin-Finished Maple ‘C’ profile feeling nicely thin in the hand whilst providing comfortable yet fluid playability. The Rolled-Edge Macassar Ebony Fingerboard feels smooth and durable making for an uninhibited playing experience and with its 24 Jumbo frets this neck offers extreme control under your fingers.

The pair of Seymour Duncan Sentient Humbuckers sound extremely powerful, with a detailed low end, punchy mid-range and crystal clear highs. These pickups cut through nicely with their high output. The simple yet comprehensive control layout yields 6 different sounds in total for superb tonal versatility. Each humbucking pickup has a push-pull knob for 3 additional single-coil sounds.
