Chapman ML3 Pro Modern Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Obsidian Burst

Available in an extremely limited run, only from Guitar Center, the Chapman ML3 Pro Modern is the UK guitar-maker's second venture into semi-hollowbody guitars and a follow-up to the already hugely successful vintage version. With a dramatic obsidian burst finish and custom high-output humbucking pickups, this limited-run guitar is certain to be legendary.

Designed by guitarists, for guitarists

Chapman's crowd-sourced design process is behind this instrument. Founder Rob Chapman discovered that everywhere he went, players wanted to know when he was going to make a semi-hollow instrument, and, after using Chapman's web-based voting process, the feature set, color and electronics were chosen by excited guitarists, longing to see the result.

Based on Chapman's ML3 Pro set-neck body style, the Modern carries the same graceful lines, with Seea smooth "tummy cut" in the mahogany body and a gorgeously arched top. Chapman's Obsidian Burst finish on a maple top sets the tone for this guitar's rock edge and Chapman, already known for their finishes, was glad to comply. Aesthetically, the coverless black pickups and contrasting binding combine with the milled bridge and brass saddles to make a bold, modern statement.
