Chapman Guitars ML1 Baritone Modern

At the heart of Chapman guitars, there has always been a love of dropped or altered tunings, ultimately stemming from an appreciation of progressive heavy music and a passion for percussive, creative riff writing. This has been blended together over years of playing in various bands and projects. When Chapman Guitars designs a guitar, they are not just making a product to sell; they are lovingly creating something that will eventually be played live or used to create music, which has always made Chapman feel a little bit different.

The new Standard series Baritone guitars embody this sentiment as a stripped-back, workhorse machine delivering clarity and articulation through our own Chapman Sonorous Zerø, Alnico 5 Baritone Humbuckers.

With a simple and understated satin finish, coupled with beautiful woods like ash, maple, macassar ebony, and bass, your playing can truly shine. The stunning rolled edges, TUSQ nut, and 18:1 ratio Chapman locking tuners provide the tuning stability and feel needed in the studio or live settings.
