The mahogany body of the ML2 Pro River Styx Black is adorned with a carved maple top, a flamed maple veneer top, and a satin River Styx Black finish. Glued to the "baked" maple neck recessed deeper into the body (set-thru) is a macassar ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four jumbo stainless steel frets. Orientation around the fingerboard surface is facilitated by a distinctive mother-of-pearl inlay on the twelfth fret and side "glow-in-the-dark" dots, which give you perfect visibility even in the evening or at night. The narrower C neck profile and rounded fingerboard edges also contribute to playing comfort.
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 character of the sound can be adjusted with two volume potentiometers and a push/pull tone control, where a flick of the potentiometer changes the full humbucker sound to single-coil (coil-split) in seconds.
Good sustain and quick string changes are guaranteed by anchoring the strings through the TusQ XL zero fret in the Hipshot Grip-Lock Open locking mechanism with an 18:1 gear ratio and through the solid cob through the body.
Chapman Pro Series electric guitars are made in South Korea.
