Chapman Guitars Standard Series ML1 X Demo featuring John Connearn

We asked friend and Chapman Guitars artist ‪@johnconnearnmusic‬ to take a look at the new for 2022 Standard Series.
Here he is putting the new ML1 X in Deep Blue Gloss through its paces.
At the heart of Chapman Guitars, there has always been a love of dropped or altered tunings, this ultimately stems from an appreciation of progressive heavy music and a love of percussive, creative riff writing all blended together over years of playing together in our various bands and projects.
When we design a guitar at Chapman Guitars we are not just making a product to sell, we are lovingly creating something that we will eventually either play live with or create music with, and that is something that has made Chapman always feel a little bit different. Our new Standard series Baritone guitars carry this sentiment as a stripped back, workhorse machine delivering clarity and articulation through our own Chapman Sonorous Zerø, ALNICO 5 Baritone Humbuckers.
A simple and understated Satin finish, coupled with some beautiful woods like Ash, Maple, Macassar Ebony, and Bass all allow your playing to do the talking, while the stunning rolled edges, TUSQ nut, and 18:1 ratio Chapman locking tuners help you to deliver the tuning stability and feel that we all need in the studio or live. We are very proud of our Baritone range at Chapman guitars and we really hope they serve you well.

Thanks for the demo. Sounds great! Was hoping to hear some cleans on those single coils, though. I think that demo gave enough information to guess, but trying to determine if the stock pickups can fulfill cleaner funk/blues sounds as well as the more modern progressive stuff.

[@johnconnearnmusic]

They definitely can, kept these demos as to the point as poss with the tones - but rest assured they do all the clean to heavy dist stuff!

[@lonnieezell]

@@johnconnearnmusic Appreciate the response. It was actually your video on the Red Sea Chapmans that made me pull the trigger on the ML1 Modern Baritone. Great guitar, fantastic demo.

Great playing as alway !

You mentioned a push /pull on the volume /tone knobs at the beginning, what are their purpose?

[@JackJD]

This just confirmed that I need a red ML1X Standard

Single coils are horrendously bad for a strat style guitar. Not made my mind on bucker
