In 2020 Chapman guitars celebrated a decade of existence by launching the ML1 pro X Anniversary model.
To continue this legacy we are extremely proud to bring the “X range” into our standard series with the all new ML1 X.
Beautifully crafted from Maple, Macassar Ebony, Ash and Mahogany and with high end appointments like super rolled edges, a Chapman 2-point trem featuring a steel block, you’ll quickly see that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Perfectly balancing flexibility, playability, and tone, the ML1 X comes equipped with its own Chapman Consentus HSS ALNICO 5 pick up set that truly allow the voice of the instrument to come through. Whether you choose deep red, deep blue or gloss black, your hands and ears will love you for the rest of your life
A Macassar Ebony fretboard on a flame maple neck is an irresistible combination for the guitarist considering the ML1 X. As well as the C-shaped neck carve and the rolled fretboard edges, there’s a glorious satin finish that makes this guitar smooth to play.
Chapman’s ML1 X’s thin lightweight Mahogany body and gloss Ash veneer is an exquisite blend of form and function and is perfect for the cross-genre musician. It’s ergonomically contoured but the shape and build also provides a balanced tonal foundation.
The ML1 X delivers its tonal versatility through our very own Chapman Consentus HSS set. With a 5 way switch you’ll dial in every tone you can dream of.
