Full Description

The year is 2061, you jump down from your hover bed, another hard day working at the hydro plant ahead of you... stopping for a caffeinated dark beverage you catch a glance of her against the wall. You pause for a second, noticing the beautiful contours and luminescent inlays gently glowing... work can wait another day. Gently you pluck her from the anti-gravity stand, this vintage beauty is still a classic and always has been. Although four decades old now, the stainless steel frets haven’t tarnished at all, the bodies taken a few hits over the years, but the neck still feels creamy smooth. “Siri activate amp mode”, you hit that first chord and your room speakers chime to life, driven by that powerful Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient tone that brings you home. “Man, they don’t make them like this anymore“, you reflect as you take another sip from your coffee simulator, so glad you purchased a Chapman ML2 Pro back in the 20s.


Condition: This is a B-Stock ML2 Pro. The reason this is a b-stock is because of the finish issue on the bass side of the fretboard. The finish appears to be "peeling." (see photos). 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!
