Chapman Pro Series ML3 Thin Line Classic Metallic Ice Blue 2023 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a Chapman Pro Series ML3 Thin Line Classic Semi-Hollow electric guitar in Metallic Ice Blue finish. Made in Korea in 2023, this guitar features a recessed Bolt On Neck construction comprising Mahogany body with a Maple Top, Satin finished Maple neck and 22 Narrow Tall Stainless Steel fret Rosewood fingerboard. This instrument is equipped with chrome hardware including a Wilkinson T-Type bridge with Brass Saddles and a set of Hipshot Grip-Lock Open tuning machines. The pickups installed in this guitar consist of a pair of Seymour Duncan USA pickups, specifically a Vintage P90 in the neck and a Quarter Pound in the bridge, these are wired to a 4-way selector, master volume and a master tone control. 

The Satin Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the ‘C’ profile feeling slim in the hand, allowing for easy fretting in any register and providing ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the neck. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 9.5” radius offering a suitably modern feel, and rolled fingerboard edges the playability of the guitar is exceptionally comfortable. This is paired with the Narrow tall size Stainless Steel frets which enhance vibrato and string bending techniques, whilst offering a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for quick lead lines. 

The semi-hollow body design provides a bright, natural resonance that adds depth and dimension to the guitar's tone. The solid centre block helps to reduce any unwanted feedback and unwanted resonance, resulting in a more defined sound. The Quarter Pound bridge pickup is a high-output design that promises humbucker-level punch and saturation in a true single-coil package, while the neck P90 gives you a fat yet crystal-clear voice that pairs up nicely with the bridge pickup. The 4-way blade allows for the bridge and neck to be combined in either series or parallel, further enhancing the versatility of this guitar.
