Chapman Guitars introduce the ML-2 Classic – a special run tribute to the 1950’s gold tops. Special features are the limited edition Gold Top sparkle finish, USA Seymour Duncan SH-1 Blues set of 59 PAF style humbuckers and a special tone control that activates the infamous ‘Peter Green Mod’…

This special run has the same basic specs as the standard Chapman ML-2 – solid Mahogany body, Maple neck with Ebony fingerboard, 25″ scale length, 24 extra jumbo frets, TonePros bridge & Grover tuners. The difference with the ML-2 Classic is the set of USA Seymour Duncan SH-1 Blues 59 PAF style humbuckers instead of the Guitarnivores and in place of the coil tap you can pull the tone control to invert the phase of the neck pickup (commonly referred to as the Peter Green Mod).

The ML-2 Classic is a tribute to the 1950s gold tops, the very pinnacle of sophistication and the poster-boys of vintage guitars at their very best.
