The first production-line (non-prototype) ML1 to arrive in the UK was delivered to Rob last week.
“I just couldn’t believe how awesome it looked out of the box, and how natural it felt in the hands. My stringed stick of command really is born. I’m particularly impressed with amazing pickups that we chose specifically because they were ridiculously cheap, it seems we lucked out because they are insane. You can get crushing metal tones, or at the pull of a coil-tap you can get classic vintage Telecaster twang. Pickups really are a personal choice, and I urge guitarists to fit their own pickups with the help of a good luthier. Unless of course, that is, they fall in love with the stock Chinese pickups, which have a magic all of their own. I will be keeping this guitar with stock pickups not only to commemorate the launch of the Chapman Guitars, but also because they sound bad-ass.”
