Here for sale we have a Chapman ML-7 S Electric Guitar in Natural finish. Made in Korea in 2016, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body, a Maple neck, and a 24-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Extra Jumbo frets, a Hardtail String-Thru bridge, Hipshot locking tuners, Black hardware, and a set of Chapman Custom Pro 7 Alnico Passive Humbuckers. These pickups are wired to a master volume, master tone (push/pull coil-split), and a three-way pickup selector.
The Maple neck plays well, with the Thin 'U'-feeling neck profile feeling slim and ergonomic in the hand, allowing for great thumb placement all across the neck, whilst the Ebony fingerboard and extra jumbo frets provide a robust playing experience that feels rock solid under the fingers, whilst enhancing string bending and vibrato techniques. The 15.7" radius ensures that the playing experience is tailored to the needs of the player in all registers. Extra Jumbo frets increase sustain whilst enhancing the feel of vibrato and string bending techniques, providing an even and balanced feel across the strings, particularly in drop tunings. The double cutaway body design provides unobstructed access to the upper register, making solo lines a breeze.
The Chapman Custom Pro 7 Alnico Passive Humbuckers sound balanced and versatile, The Humbucker in the neck produces pristine cleans for intricate chordal and single note lines yet sounding articulate and fluid with high gain whilst the Humbucker in the bridge delivers lush warmth that ensures you will cut through any live mix. The simple control layout offers comprehensive control of your tone without being intrusive to the playing experience. This guitar is a modern rock machine.
