Traditional sounds with a modern touch
Combining crisp, woody tone with modern design refinements, the Chapman ML1 Pro Traditional offers up a unique take on a classic form. A satiny smooth rolled edge maple fretboard on the "C" profile maple neck and carved top ash body add a touch of class to the specially voiced Venus Witch single-coil alnico V pickups with a tonally versatile 5-way switch. Stable Hipshot tuners and a fulcrum tremolo bridge let you "whang" with impunity, whatever style you're playing.
