MAPLE & EBONY, PERFECTION
A Macassar Ebony fretboard on a flame maple neck is an irresistible combination for the guitarist considering the ML1 X. As well as the C-shaped neck carve and the rolled fretboard edges, there’s a glorious satin finish that makes this guitar smooth to play.
PREMIUM BODY CONSTRUCTION
Chapman’s ML1 X’s thin lightweight Alder body and satin Ash veneer is an exquisite blend of form and function and is perfect for the cross-genre musician. It’s ergonomically contoured but the shape and build also provides a balanced tonal foundation.
