I'm a bit partial to a 7-String beastie. Especially one that's shaped like a Tele, features 2 x passive pickups with coil splits, Hipshot hardware, natural finish, ebony fingerboard, lightweight and dead straight neck. The Chapman ML-7T ticks all of those boxes and it plays like a mofo and it sounds killer. I don't think I mentioned the big bonus: Neck-thru. This is one, mean and tough sonofabeeatch but it has a softly spoken side too. I like it a lot. It stays. I chose well. Chappers, again, great work.
Many thanks to Matt Hornby at CGUK, and Tony, Tim and the team at Music Junction Camberwell.
