Chapman ML1 Pro Hybrid Electric Guitar

This HSS configured tonal monster is not just business at the neck and party at the bridge! Paying homage to those who modified traditional single coil equipped instruments back in the 80's, the ML1 Pro Hybrid is a powerful, yet flexible machine capable of many styles. Bristling with a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the Bridge and Classic Stacks in the middle and neck, the tonal options are impressive. With modern appointments like Stainless Steel frets, Glow in the Dark side dots and a roasted maple neck and fingerboard the ML1 Pro Hybrid is perfectly formed and ergonomically designed for comfort and playability.

Condition: This is a brand new ML1 Pro Hybrid. It comes equipped with our Pro-Tech setup and Chapman’s warranty. Drop Dee Guitars is an authorized dealer of Chapman Guitars.
