The ergonomically shaped body of the ML3 Pro Traditional Frost Green Metallic Gloss is made of alder. The neck and fingerboard are made of "baked" maple, the heat treatment gives the wood an aged golden appearance and greater stability. The fingerboard is fitted with twenty-two Jumbo stainless steel frets. Orientation on the fingerboard surface is facilitated by a distinctive mother-of-pearl inlay on the twelfth fret and side "glow-in-the-dark" dots, while the C neck profile and rounded fingerboard edges also contribute to playing comfort.
Two single-coil "Hot Tele" pickups from renowned Seymour Duncan with Alnico V magnets and a slightly higher output signal give the guitar a fuller sound than standard single-coils, while not losing the characteristic "twang" of the T models. Waxing the pickups reduces their susceptibility to creating a feedback effect. The sound can be adjusted using the volume potentiometer, tone shutter and three-position pickup switch.
Good sustain and fast string changes are guaranteed by anchoring the strings through the TusQ zero fret in Hipshot Grip-Lock Open locking mechanisms with an 18:1 gear ratio and through the cob with brass saddles through the body.
Chapman Pro Series electric guitars are made in South Korea.
