FEATURES

ROASTED MAPLE NECK

If international touring is in your plans, a roasted maple neck on your guitar that reduces its vulnerability to warping in different climates is essential.

PREMIUM BODY CONSTRUCTION

Fun fact about Alder wood: it doesn’t really rot in water. We use Alder wood for guitars as it makes them light resilient, which is great for touring, but that said, we would not recommend that you throw your guitar in the hotel pool or the sea after a heavy night. The flat top, ergonomically contoured arm and tummy cuts, lower horn and neck transition makes this guitar comfortable to play, particularly if you are playing for hours on end.

"I’m truly excited to bring out my new ML3 BEA Standard models with Chapman Guitars. The thing I love most about my signature guitars is the solidity and versatility of them, so the main priority designing these models was to make sure nothing was compromised, especially for touring and recording. I decided to simplify things and create 2 hardtail models; one baritone and one 25.5”. As much as I wanted to keep the woods as close as possible to my original signature ML3 models, change is always good, thus the addition of new baked maple necks! Visually, I thought I would bring back the look of the original ML3 prototypes, after they received so much love online. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with how these have turned out; the new V2 henchman pickups sounds incredible, they look sick and play so well! I can’t wait to take these on tour!" -Rabea Massaad
