I'd love to try this one. I've been jonesing fiercely for an ML3 Trad so I'll just add this to the list.
Side note, they should enlist the Norseman to do some demos of the range, he has a really cool style, reminded me a bit of Opeth.

Feast on this.
wasn't he playing snippets of Opeth's songs? Also I'm fairly certain he played a Mastodon riff or two.
anyway, the guitar looks amazing, but I feel its a tad too shiny? maybe it was the lights or something.

Almost positive the riff he played at 4:00 was Divinations by Mastodon, just tuned up a step.

pretty cool looking guitars. /cool to see they are experimenting with some tops and colors.
Still waiting to see what they do with the carved top prototype they show on an old video

They apparently tried that briefly in the beginning, but it didn't work out. Don't remember why, though.

Costs? As far as I remember the first ML-1 was made by Jaden Rose and while surely being nice, it cost over 1000 GBP and the idea behind Chapman Guitars was to make affordable guitars. They also made guitars briefly in China but due to inconsistencies in quality, they switched to Korea.
Speaking about the guitars, based solely on looks, I believe they could be a nice, more affordable alternative to Suhr's (never played a Chapman, nor a Suhr so I can't compare them in the quality/sound department).

I've had a mahogany ML1 for awhile now. I would say the quality is about equal to the PRS SE's that I've had/have, and Riff City (site sponsor!) was awesome to deal with.
I would buy another Chapman, I like the mahogany neck on the Norseman.. gotta wait 90 days until they are available outside Norway
waiting for that Chapman baritone though.

Gorgeous guitars, with just one glitch (for me). It's the same with all 24 fret double humbucker guitars, IMO the space between the fretboard and the bridge gets too crowded. One humbucker + single sized humbucker works better (like in the new Satriani models and the Greg Howe sigs).
But that's just me.

Very nice, I really like the pickup covers on them, they fit really nice in a weird way.
