Description

Deceptively simple, yet refined in appearance, the Chapman ML3 Modern V2 is loaded with player-friendly features that will make it one of the instruments you love to pick up and hate to put down. Capable of drop-tuned rocking as well as pop, blues and jazz excursions, the Chapman Sonorous Zero pickups supply warmth, definition and just enough push, while the rolled-edge ebony fretboard is comfortable and fast. Case or bag sold separately.

    This ML3V2 Modern does it all from classic Rock `n` Roll to Metal. There`s nothing I can`t cover with it. Great tone control with the splitter. Mellow Jazz to sweet Blues tones. Great job Chapman!

  • Definitely would buy again

    This demo model guitar is in excellent condition, still had plastic on pickups and back plate. Setup is really good straight from Musicians Friends. Thanks

    When I bought this guitar and had it set up, it became a hot knife through butter. I had this guitar for two years already and it's a very comfortable guitar. I'd definitely stick with this model. I use it for live performance and recording. I highly recommend it to anyone and it doesn't matter what genre you play.

    What is be difference between this ml3 and the last version?

    Open Reply - Ronald
    Minor improvements in the electronics, and hardware. Nothing outlandishly different, just little modifications.

    Hi, just checking to see if you all have a chapma ml3 modern in incarnadine brand new in stock at your warehouse, as last time I bought a guitar listed as "in stock", it turned into a 3 week long fiasco after repeatedly being given dinged up display models, of trying to find a guitar center that still had one new in its box, in which I STILL ultimately getting a damaged guitar, missing chunks of finish cracked off the back with bare wood exposed, if so, then I'll be buying one next week, if not, then I'll wait.

    We don't have new ones in stock currently at the warehouse but Chapman has given us the date of 5/6/2019 to expect the next shipment.
