FEATURES
ROASTED MAPLE NECK
The ML3 Pro Traditional Semi-Hollow has a great neck profile. It’s comfortable C-Shaped curve, rolled edge fretboard and satin finish gives a smooth sliding grip for easy play. Using roasted wood reduces the guitar’s vulnerability to warping and means it needs minimal adjustment. The stainless steel frets look great on maple and the traditional shape makes this guitar and modern classic.
PREMIUM BODY CONSTRUCTION
As Mahogany wood grain is relatively free of voids and pockets, when used in a guitar body it can produce a sumptuous tone. It has a natural reddish hue that somehow seems to boost the warmth of the sound. Chapman’s ML3 Pro Traditional semi-Hollow is made from lightweight mahogany and has a Straight Maple carved top with traditional F-holes. With it’s carved top, ergonomically contoured lower horn and neck transition, this instrument is beautiful to wield, to play and to look at.
SEYMOUR DUNCAN PICKUPS
