collapse expand iconDescription

The Chapman ML1 X electric guitar brings the sound and features of the “X range” models into the standard series lineup. It features a gloss-finished ash veneer top over a mahogany body, paired with a satin-finished maple neck and macassar ebony fingerboard with pearl inlays. Enjoy the smooth comfort of the rolled edges and contoured body carves. The ML1 X balances flexibility and playability with its set of HSS Alnico 5 pickups, allowing the instrument’s voice to come through clearly, with additional sound-shaping from the master volume and tone controls and a 5-way pickup switch. Additional appointments include a Chapman 2-point tremolo with a steel block, Graph Tech TUSQ nut, 22 jumbo nickel frets and Chapman Classic closed tuners.
