What's Hot

Hey folks,

Does anyone have one of the early Chapman ML-2 guitars for sale? Ideally the natural finish. I'm looking for something cheap as a second guitar to try different strings/tunings and do some general fettling, so it does not need to be in perfect condition. I thing these were out around 2013-2016.

I'd also consider one of the other ML shapes, but the ML-2 is my favorite.

    Crack Converters have an ML-1 in at £260 delivered, any good?


    Not sure if that's a good price as ive never really followed the pricing of them.

    Thanks man, I hadn't thought to check sites like that. I'm not a fan of the finish though.

    I have an ML-1 I’d be up for trading. It’s the cherry sunburst colour and it’s totally stock. Really good condition too. It doesn’t have the original gigbag but I have a hard case for it. If interested we could discuss price and meeting up or whatever. Cheers

    I have an ML2 in the lunar finish (black/grey), that I’m considering moving on. I need to put the original pickups back in, but once that is done it will be up for sale.

    Edit - one of these:

    I'm sure there are loads of these dusty and unloved at the back of cupboards. Anyone got one they are willing to sell?

    In mint condition so may be too expensive?

    Hi there, I'm new here and saw this; I do have one of the original 250(?) Chinese ones. I took it to Graham Noden on day one for a fret level and setup, and he replaced the nut as well. Currently sporting Seymour Duncan 59/Custom in the bridge and 59 in the neck.

    Only snag is that I'm not looking to sell at the moment, but it's not getting much play time; not its fault, I just have too many guitars, so that might change. Leaving this here so we don't forget each other.

    Thanks Gents. I'm just looking for a used one I can play about with, mint doesn't matter at that price!

    Thank you for the photo of your one @topdog91 I'm hoping to find a MiK one.

    Ah, fair enough. BTW the original runs (you said "early" were MiC. Anyway there don't seem to be many around, good luck!

    Edit: not sure what happened to my photo, I can't seem to upload photos around here. :shrug:
