Featuring a fully upgraded body contour and carved top.
The new ML1 Pro Modern is more comfortable to play than ever, with increased upper fret access and a stunning contemporary look.

This instrument was approached from the ground up. The primary objective was to fully realise a more ergonomic and refined design. This was achieved in part through the assimilation of requests from the public, alongside tweaks and modifications from Chapmans own hard working R&D team.

The new ML1 Pro Modern features an all new, proprietary, carved/four bolt construction, allowing the feel and access of a set through neck, with the practicality of a bolt on!

Action packed full of spec like Stainless steel frets, USA Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Humbuckers and Hipshot tuners, this modern rock machine is the tool you need for the job.
