Chapman Guitars ML2 PRO - Azure Blue
ML2 PRO
DESCRIPTION
The year is 2061, you jump down from your hover bed, another hard day working at the hydro plant ahead of you... stopping for a caffeinated dark beverage you catch a glance of her against the wall. You pause for a second, noticing the beautiful contours and luminescent inlays gently glowing... work can wait another day. Gently you pluck her from the anti-gravity stand, this vintage beauty is still a classic and always has been. Although four decades old now, the stainless steel frets haven’t tarnished at all, the bodies taken a few hits over the years, but the neck still feels creamy smooth. “Siri activate amp mode”, you hit that first chord and your room speakers chime to life, driven by that powerful Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient tone that brings you home. “Man, they don’t make them like this anymore“, you reflect as you take another sip from your coffee simulator, so glad you purchased a Chapman ML2 Pro back in the 20s.
FEATURES
ROASTED MAPLE NECK
C-shaped neck for playing comfort? Check. Smooth satin finish? Check. Made of beautiful macassar ebony – a variegated wood with a gorgeous stripe? Check. Less vulnerable to warping as the neck has been roasted to expel moisture? Check.
PREMIUM BODY CONSTRUCTION
The Chapman’s ML2 Pro Modern’s thin lightweight Mahogany body surrounding our Roasted Maple set-through neck, makes it a guitar easy to carry, and great for those who spend hours playing without having to worring about back or shoulder strain. With it’s carved Flame Maple top, ergonomically contoured lower horn and neck transition, this instrument exerts a truly high-end aesthetic and a great tonal range.
SEYMOUR DUNCAN PICKUPS
If you favour form and function working together, the form of this guitar coupled with the Seymour Duncan Pegasus humbucker in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Sentient in the neck will make this the guitar for you. Another genre breaking guitar in our range, this model boasts individual volume controls and 3-way switching options, as well as coil-splitting via the push/pull tone pot.
