General
A straight-up TE-style electric guitar, the Chapman Guitars Standard Series ML3 Traditional guarantees a classic playing experience and serves up a familiar range of single-coil sounds. Its comfortable, vintage feel stems from a C-profile neck, a 9.45-inch fretboard radius and twenty-two jumbo frets, which combine with a recessed bolt-on neck and cutaway for optimum playability and access to the entire maple fretboard. Also, the string-thru T-style bridge and block saddles are a comfy resting spot for your right hand.
The ML3 Traditional: Angry Mule P90 and Vintage Tone Single-Coil Pickup
The mahogany body and maple neck lay down a round-and-warm foundation sound topped off with lightly punchy trebles. This is captured by two Chapman-designed Alnico 5 pickups, namely a Vintage Tone single-coil bridge pickup for classic bright sound, and an Angry Mule P90 neck pickup for more robust tone. The core tone is selected via a 3-way pickup switch and can be tweaked to taste with a standard set of volume and tone controls. The ML3 Traditional comes finished with a precision-engineered Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut for extra-resonant and rich sound as well as increased tuning stability.
