Welcome to the return and renaissance of our 7 string power house, the ML17 Pro Modern.

The primary objective was to fully realise a more ergonomic and refined design. This was achieved in part through theassimilation of requests from the public, alongside tweaks and modifications from Chapmans own hard working R&D team. Featuring a fully upgraded body contour and carved top, the new Pro Baritone is more comfortable to play than ever, withincreased upper fret access, a 26.5 inch scale length and a stunning contemporary look. It features an all new, proprietary, carved/four bolt construction utilising carbon reinforced rods for ultimate stability. The neckhas the feel and access of a set through, but with the practicality of a bolt on! Action packed full of spec like Stainless steel frets, USA Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Humbuckers and Hipshottuners, this modern rock machine is the tool you need for the job.
ROASTED MAPLE NECK

ROASTED MAPLE NECK

Our signature C-shaped neck carve combined with rolled Roasted Maple fretboard edges and a satin finish make this guitar playable whilst also looking the business.
