Chapman ML2 Buttercream Satin
The Chapman ML2, finished in Buttercream Satin, is Chapman's refined stripped back take on a single cutaway classic design. Incredible looks, massive tone, and premium tonewoods combine to create a tonal monster, as comfortable singing out jazzy licks as it is screaming out crushing riffs. A Mahogany body and with Ash top, finished in Buttercream Satin, not only creates a head-turning aesthetic, but makes the perfect foundation for a pair of coil-splitting Chapman Stentorian Zero Humbuckers. These Alnico V pickups perfectly pump out plenty of powerful punch; pull-out the tone knob for coil-splitting mode and add glassy, crystal-clear and articulate tones to your palette.
A satin Maple neck with Macassar Ebony fingerboard, are set expertly into the Mahogany body; combined with ergonomic cutaways and volute throughout the ML2's design, and you get hours of comfortable and tasty shredding. The new 'Pennant' headstock design makes for a satisfyingly straight string angle that balances string tension across the strings; Chapman have focussed on tuning stability and playability, so you don't have to.
