At first look, your wallet might think the ML3 Modern is just a great backup electric guitar. But once you play a few chords, your hands will tell a different story. The C - shaped satin maple neck with rolled edges and an ebony fretboard is a real standout for guitar players, outshining many more expensive guitars. If you're into drop tuning, the self - lubricating Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut, Chapman Classic closed 18:1 tuners, and Chapman hard tail bridge work together. They give you all the tuning stability and harmonic sustain you need for both studio recording and live performances. Powered by the improved Chapman Sonorous Zerø pickups, this guitar combines great materials like maple, ebony, and mahogany. It also has amazing design details such as front and rear spoon cuts and a natural edge finish, creating the perfect sonic experience.

Here are some things to keep in mind. Don't expose the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can damage the wood and the finish. When you're not using it, store it in a proper guitar case to protect it from scratches and bumps.
For maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat. You can also use a guitar polish to keep the body finish looking good. Check the frets regularly for any signs of wear and if needed, take it to a professional for fret dressing. And remember to change the strings every few months for the best sound quality.
