The ML1 is the S-style double-cut that Chapman launched the company with, and it remains part of the maker's UK catalogue.
Watch
Why it matters
Chapman designed the ML1 with input from its own community, and the long specification list at a low price became the brand's signature approach. The model has been revised several times, so two guitars carrying the same name can differ in neck profile and hardware. Prices are published in sterling on the UK site, which complicates comparison for buyers outside the UK.
Note
The original crowd-designed double cut.
