Welcome back to the era of Chapman's 7-string guitar excellence with the ML1-7 Pro Modern. This guitar, like its Standard Scale and Baritone counterparts, was completely re-engineered. Chapman aimed to create a more ergonomic and refined design. They achieved this by listening to public requests and making tweaks with their hard - working R & D team. The new Pro Baritone has a fully upgraded body contour and a carved top. It's more comfortable to play than ever, offering better access to the upper frets. With a 26.5 - inch scale length, it has a contemporary and eye - catching look. It uses an all - new, proprietary, carved/four - bolt construction with carbon - reinforced rods for top - notch stability. The neck combines the feel of a set - through with the practicality of a bolt - on. Packed with high - end specs like stainless steel frets, USA Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Humbuckers, and Hipshot tuners, this modern rock guitar is a must - have for any gig.

Using your Chapman ML1 - 7 Pro Modern 7 - string electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure it's properly tuned using the Hipshot Grip - Lock Open tuning machines. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. For the best sound, adjust the volume and tone knobs on the guitar and your amp. When you're done playing, unplug it carefully. To keep it in great shape, wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and electronics. Check the strings regularly for wear and replace them when they start to sound dull. You can also occasionally clean the fretboard with a specialized fretboard cleaner. Keep it stored in a guitar case to protect it from bumps and scratches.
