One of my more recent purchases, as of 2014 anyway, one sexy guitar. Modded mine slightly to have black neck and middle pickups and a Seymour Duncan Lil' 59 in the bridge.

As a fan of Rob Chapman, I was very keen to get my hands on one of the various models that Chapman Guitars that Dear Mr Chapman create. The ML1 is absolutely amazing, it's a tone machine. Great for Blues, Rock, Metal and beyond. It's a grand guitar worth a space on any guitarist's rack.

Back in the 70's and 80's Gibson got very angry with various Far East Japanese companies for making some seriously great copies of popular Gibson guitars that were made from high quality woods, had top notch finishes and unacceptably good prices. Back in 1981 this guitar cost something around $450 - $500 which is pocket change compared to the Gibson equivalent 335 at $1400+ Not only is this guitar made of high quality woods and have a jaw dropping finish, it's also loaded with some currently unidentified USA made DiMarzio pick ups. It's got it all!

My second ever electric guitar, but I really count it as my first.

This thing plays stupidly well, has a great dynamic range despite the rather weak sound of the pups. I use mine for slide and on a nice crunch sound it sounds insane!
