Chapman ML3 Pro Traditional Electric Guitar (0089)

Glistening like a vintage limousine soaring through the rain, the ML3 Pro Traditional has all the grace and style of a vintage vehicle with the roaring engine to match. Equipped with a pair of Seymour Duncan “Hot Tele” Single coil pickups, featuring hand-ground Alnico five rod magnets, a special high output coil wind and wax potted for squeal free performance - this beast is firing on all cylinders. Resplendent with its silky smooth baked maple neck and fingerboard, Stainless Steel frets, lightweight Alder body and stunning metallic finish, as soon as your hand touches the neck you will realise - elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.

Condition: This is a B-Stock ML3 Pro Traditional. The reason this is a b-stock is because of a chip in the heel joint (see photos). It comes equipped with our Pro-Tech setup and Chapman’s warranty. Drop Dee Guitars is an authorized dealer of Chapman Guitars.

Pro-Tech Setup: Our Pro-Tech setup makes your guitar ready to rock straight out of the box. Here’s how..

• Make any adjustments so the neck is straight to avoid any fret buzzing and for comfort
• Check the nut and nut slots for any adjustments/filing to prevent any tuning issues, as well as for comfort at the lower frets
• Make any adjustments to the bridge/tremolo system so it’s in the proper position for tuning stability
• Set the action to a height that feels comfortable for each guitar
• Set the intonation so you’re in tune everywhere on the neck

All of these steps will make your brand new guitar feel as comfortable as ever and ready to play straight out of the box!
