First introduced in 2009, the Chapman ML1 was the debut model from Chapman Guitars, co-founded by guitarist Rob Chapman. Designed with player input and a focus on high-spec features at a reasonable price, the ML1 has evolved over the years into a versatile workhorse. With configurations including HSS and HH pickup layouts, set or bolt-on necks, and sleek modern styling, it suits a wide range of genres—from clean tones to high-gain riffing. It remains a top second-hand choice for players after boutique-style performance without the boutique price tag. Looking to sell?
