Chapman Guitars ML1 Hybrid Standard Abyss HSS Super Strat
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 Hybrid is a powerful, yet flexible machine combining the refined and clear tones of the Chapman “Venus Witch” zero single coils with the heroic power punch of the ceramic Chapman Sonorous Zero. With a modern recessed bolt on construction, coupled with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, the ML1 Hybrid is perfectly formed and ergonomically designed for comfort and playability. With a choice of flame maple on the “Abyss” and “Cali Sunset” finish or quilt maple on our “Sarsen” your hands will thank you and your neighbours will eventually forgive you…
