I have the Exact same color ML3 and I love it. The neck is outstanding right up to the rolled edges and great fret work. The top looks as good if not better than the one on your video. All I had to do was put fresh strings on it out of the box and it just sang!

Hi guys, Dan here. Thanks for doing the video - and really happy you took that punt, and like it. There are a couple of things "under the hood" as well, like orange drop capacitor, treble bleed, recessed plates, coil split, Graph Tech nut... hope you get the most out of it.

I picked up a Chapman ML1 in the same Abyss Purple/Blue Burst on eBay last year for £220... What a bargain, it has a beautifully finished rolled, Roasted maple neck, smooth as butter, which is an absolute dream to play on. Still not used to the reverse headstock, but it's a keeper, (especially at that money)

I've noticed in the last couple years especially, alot of people going back to the classic shapes and styles of electric guitar. Also seems to be a resurgence of pickups that focus on articulation and clarity, instead of the overwound super high output stuff that was all the rage for the last 10 years. Players may be coming to the realization that with modern amps and pedals you can get blaring over saturated tones from almost any pickup. Why limit yourself to only high output overdriven tones, with strictly "metal" type guitars and pickups, when you can have setups/guitars that can do almost everything in one package?

Nice video. I don't really care for pickups with that much output, but they do have more clarity than your typical 15K hot-rod bridge pickup. As far as clean sounds go, I'm right there with you. My definition of a clean sound is one where there is very little "hair" on the sound when they strings are played softly, but plenty of saturation when you hit a big "rock" G chord.

You call bargain £320 for an Indonesian Chapman? Well, maybe post-covid where everything is f*ed up, but not that long ago (less than 2,5 years ago actually), I got a used Korean Schecter superstrat for £400. That guitar new when released by Schecter was over £800 (maybe £900, can't remember). That was a real bargain! In any case, congrats about your new gear. Hope you enjoy it to the max :) PS Nothing wrong with Indonesian guitars. Chapman though, I wasn't impressed by their standard models (like your ML3 Modern) when I tried some a couple of years ago. I don't care about brands (or the people associated with them like in this case), but I was genuinely not impressed.

Im not sure you have been 'mean' to "Chapman" at all.... but I think you would have found many in agreement if you had been. As for the guitars, they dont do it for me in any way... and the association with Rob Chapman is a real turn off. But I am glad the young players of today are able to access quality instruments at that price range... I would still rather see them with Jacksons, Charvels and Ibanez that they have 'modded' themselves.... But heyho Im old and have an Ibanez for the 'rage'. As long as your playing music you love....

I think (with respect) guitars today are all pretty damn good. The Harley Benton stuff 'Vintage' Chapman even Squier ect ect. You should have been around in the late 70s-early 80s when for the equivalent money or less they really was a wide selection of crap, proper crap unless you were lucky enough to come across the Jap lawsuit stuff... Which I fortunately did.
