Youtube legend and Dorje frontman Rob Chapman has enjoyed vast success with his ever-growing range of Chapman guitars. These quality instruments, made in Korea, are contemporary takes on classic designs, all made with performance as a priority.

This ML1 forms part of the Chapman Pro Series. The Pro Series all feature through-neck construction for resonance and sustain, not to mention strength. The fretboards are made of Ebony and have rolled edges for an instantly comfortable feel. Other features differ from model to model but all come with a Chapman Pro Hard Case.

These are pro-level guitars with excellent hardware and extremely high quality control standards in the construction. Gigging professionals can rely on a Chapman Pro Series guitar to deliver the goods every time.

This beautifully contoured ML1 has a deliciously thick slice of Flamed Maple on top of the satin-finished Mahogany. This guitar has an overall feel of extreme comfort: it just begs to be played!

Two coil splittable Chapman Sonorous humbuckers bring a pleasingly wide array of sounds that go beyond the ‘modern technical’ aesthetic of the guitar.

Hipshot tuners, strap locks and fantastic stainless steel frets complete a very tempting package. This guitar is very playable and very versatile.
