CHAPMAN ML1 Hybrid Abyss

This CHAPMAN ML1 Hybrid 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 '80s, the ML1 Hybrid is a powerful, yet flexible machine combining the refined and clear tones of the Chapman Guitars "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...

ROASTED MAPLE NECK

A roasted maple neck helps prevent warping, but it needs to be comfortable too. A smooth satin finish and rolled fretboard edges come as standard and make this guitar highly playable.

PREMIUM BODY CONSTRUCTION

Chapman's ML1 Hybrid boasts a thin lightweight Mahogany body and has a versatile pickup selection and a natural tactile warmth emphasised by it's Flame Maple veneer top. Ergonomically designed, this guitar is pick-up-and-playable with a shape that gives you an exciting playing experience.

CHAPMAN PICKUPS
