The construction of this guitar is composed of a heat-treated, or if you prefer "baked", through-grain maple neck, ash body wings and a solid ash top that is adorned with an impressive color finish. Twenty-four jumbo stainless steel frets divide the ebony macassar fingerboard.
Orientation around its surface is facilitated by a distinctive mother-of-pearl inlay on the twelfth fret and side luminescent "glow-in-the-dark" dots, which give you perfect visibility even in backlit or completely dark environments. Playing comfort is guaranteed by the rounded edges of the fingerboard, the contoured lower body cutout at the neck and neck foot for easy hand movement even at the highest fingerboard positions, and the handy tummy/belly cut.
Two humbuckers from the renowned Seymour Duncan brand with Alnico V magnets and a milder signal (Medium Output) give the guitar a dynamic sound with a perfectly balanced ratio of aggression and articulation. The sound can be adjusted using the volume and tone diaphragm potentiometers and the five-position pickup switch, with positions 2 and 4 offering coil-split configurations. Precise tuning and quick string changes are guaranteed by the Hipshot Grip-Lock Open locking mechanism with an 18:1 gear ratio. The strings, on the other hand, are held in the solid fingerboard and through the body of the instrument.
Chapman Pro Series electric guitars are made in South Korea.
