Product Description
Glistening like a classic car soaring through the rain, the Chapman ML3 Pro Traditional has all the grace and style of a vintage vehicle with the roaring engine to match! Loaded with Seymour Duncan "Hot Tele" single-coil pickups, the ML3 Pro Traditional offers fat yet versatile T-type tones with plenty of iconic "spank".
While the sound may be old-school — the ML3 Pro Traditional's construction is a far more modern affair. The beautifully-contoured Alder body provides maximum comfort, while a satin-finished roasted Maple neck with a rolled-edge fingerboard and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets delivers first-class playability. Other noteworthy appointments include Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, and Chapman strap locks.
Key Features
- Alder Body — Timeless tonewood choice synonymous with bolt-on electric guitars. Provides a balanced tonal foundation for the pickups, with tight lows, bold mids and singing highs.
- Recessed Bolt-On Construction — Ergonomic design offers the feel of a set-through neck, with the practicality and "snap" of a bolt-on!
- Roasted Maple Neck — "Roasting" is a modern guitar wood treating process whereby moisture is removed from a timber to reduce its weight and increase rigidity. This makes the neck far less vulnerable to warping over time, and ensures incredible tuning stability. Enhanced with rolled edges for a smooth, played-in feel.
- 22 Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets — Hard-wearing and corrosion-resistant, with their wide/tall "jumbo" design offering maximum control under the fingers for effortless vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
- USA Seymour Duncan "Hot Tele" Pickups — Capture the legendary T-style sound, but with added mid-range and more output for a punchier tone.
- Hipshot Grip-Lock Tuners — Ingenious locking mechanism makes restringing easier and means less string winds are required around the tuning posts; resulting in better tuning stability.
- String-Through-Body Tele-Style Bridge — Enhances sustain, with individual brass saddles boosting note clarity and allowing for precise action and intonation settings.
- Graph Tech TUSQ XL Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
