This high-performance powerhouse is made for guitarists who want to explore the deep depths of the extended range; featuring a 26.5" scale optimised for the ultra-low tuning of the seventh string. Redesigned with ergonomics heavily in mind too, the new ML1-7 Pro Modern is an exceptionally comfortable 7-string electric guitar that combines timeless S-type style with contemporary, 21st Century flair.

Equipped with a raft of stellar, class-leading features that are guaranteed to take your skills and sound to the next level — the Chapman ML1-7 Pro Modern is a rock-solid, professional-grade instrument that's available at a fantastic price-point. A set of red-hot Seymour Duncan USA Pegasus/Sentient humbuckers yield an immensely powerful voice, while a satin-finished roasted Maple neck with a rolled-edge Macassar Ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets provides peerless playability. Other noteworthy appointments include Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, and Chapman strap locks.

Key Features

• Fully-Upgraded Body Contours & Carved Top — The new ML1-7 Pro Modern is more comfortable to play than ever, with increased upper-fret access and a stunning contemporary look.
• Recessed Bolt-On Construction — Ergonomic design offers the feel of a set-through neck, with the practicality and "snap" of a bolt-on!
• Roasted Maple Neck — "Roasting" is a modern guitar wood treating process whereby moisture is removed from a timber to reduce its weight and increase rigidity. This makes the neck far less vulnerable to warping over time, and ensures incredible tuning stability.
• Rolled-Edge Macassar Ebony Fingerboard — A luxurious and silky material with a stunning grain; enhanced with rolled edges for a smooth, played-in feel.
• 24 Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets — Hard-wearing and corrosion-resistant, with their wide/tall "jumbo" design offering maximum control under the fingers for effortless vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• Seymour Duncan USA Pegasus/Sentient Pickups — High-output humbuckers deliver immense power and clarity with plenty of punchy mid-range. Expect soaring sustain and crystal-clear highs, whether clean or distorted!
• Hipshot Grip-Lock Tuners — Ingenious locking mechanism makes restringing easier and means less string winds are required around the tuning posts; resulting in better tuning stability.
• String-Through-Body Hardtail Bridge — Enhances sustain, with individual saddles allowing for precise action and intonation settings.
• Graph Tech TUSQ XL Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
