Full Description
Welcome to the return and renaissance of our sleek and stealthy flagship, the ML1 Pro Modern.
We’ve approached this instrument from the ground up. Our primary objective was to realize a more ergonomic and refined design fully. We achieved this in part through the assimilation of requests from the public, alongside tweaks and modifications from Chapmans own hard-working R&D team.
The new ML1 Pro Modern is more comfortable to play than ever, featuring a fully upgraded body contour and carved top, with increased upper fret access and a stunning contemporary look. It features an all-new, proprietary, carved/four bolt construction, allowing the feel and access of a set through neck, with the practicality of a bolt on!
Action-packed full of spec like Stainless steel frets, USA Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Humbuckers, and Hipshot tuners, this modern rock machine is the tool you need for the job.
Condition: This is a brand new ML1 Pro Modern. We have multiple in stock so you may not receive the exact same guitar in the photo, but all of the finishes are similar. It comes equipped with our Pro-Tech setup and Chapman’s warranty. Drop Dee Guitars is an authorized dealer of Chapman Guitars.
Pro-Tech Setup: Our Pro-Tech setup makes your guitar ready to rock straight out of the box. Here’s how..
- Make any adjustments so the neck is straight to avoid any fret buzzing and for comfort
- Check the nut and nut slots for any adjustments/filing to prevent any tuning issues, as well as for comfort at the lower frets
- Make any adjustments to the bridge/tremolo system so it’s in the proper position for tuning stability
- Set the action to a height that feels comfortable for each guitar
- Set the intonation so you’re in tune everywhere on the neck
All of these steps will make your brand new guitar feel as comfortable as ever and ready to play straight out of the box!

Overall great customer service and very friendly demeanor from Matt and Kristen at Drop Dee. Guitar matched its description perfectly and included everything as listed.

Thanks for the Custom Shop Strat!
— Joshua T., Bluefield, WVFender Custom Shop 57 Stratocaster Relic
I must say, I've had enough of mass sellers like SweetWater with their extra fees for everything that should be included as part of a guitar sale. Drop Dee Guitars exceeded my expectations by far with my order, ensuring that my instrument was a joy to play straight out of the box. I eagerly anticipate future business with this store. They are truly a shining star! Excellent communication throughout the pre-sale and after-sale as well. Thank you!
