Description
This special edition of the ML3 Modern Standard, powered by a USA Seymour Duncan Pegasus in the bridge and a Sentient in the Neck. The Poplar Burl is accentuated by the high gloss Storm Burst finish above a Mahogany body, complemented by a Macassar Ebony fretboard over a maple neck. There’s a storm brewing….
A Macassar Ebony fretboard on a flame maple neck, is an irresistible combination for the guitarist considering the ML3 Modern. 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.
Chapman’s ML3 Modern Stormburst boasts a thin lightweight Mahogany body that gives a resonant tonal foundation and is perfect for being on the road. With it’s Poplar Burl veneer top and ergonomically contoured lower horn and neck transition, this instrument is designed to convey star quality.
A Seymour Duncan Pegasus humbucker in the bridge and a Sentient in the neck creates a substantial tonal breadth, and with the coil-split ability from the tone pot, this combination is perfect for any performance.
