Description

The Chapman Law Maker Legacy in Blackberry Storm is a modern rock workhorse that blends cutting edge upgrades with a familiar, no-nonsense layout. With stainless steel frets, a weight relieved alder body and a newly refined neck profile, it is built to feel fast, comfortable and reliable on stage or in the studio. Dual Chapman humbuckers with coil split deliver everything from thick, saturated riffs to articulate single coil style sparkle, all anchored by rock solid hardware and thoughtful electronic tweaks.

Every detail of the Law Maker Legacy has been refined to serve the player. Carbon rod neck reinforcement, a dual action truss rod with spoke wheel adjustment and a Graph Tech Tusq nut keep the neck stable and the setup dialled in. Glow in the dark side dots, Chapman locking tuners and straplocks make it a confident live companion, while premium components like Orange Drop capacitors, full size 500k pots and a treble bleed circuit ensure your tone stays clear and expressive at any volume.

Modern Feel, Classic Substance

The Law Maker Legacy neck is designed to hit the sweet spot between sleek modern playability and a reassuring, substantial feel in the hand. With a 14 inch radius and carefully graduated thickness from 21 mm at the first fret to 22 mm at the twelfth, it encourages low, buzz free action and effortless bends without feeling too skinny. Stainless steel frets add a glassy, smooth playing surface and exceptional longevity, so your bends, vibrato and intonation stay consistent over years of use.

Versatile Chapman Humbuckers

At the heart of the Law Maker Legacy is a matched set of Chapman humbuckers, created by Rob Chapman in collaboration with Trev Wilkinson. The ceramic bridge pickup, wound to around 14.5k, delivers tight low end, punchy mids and cutting presence that excels for high gain rhythm and lead work. The Alnico V neck pickup, at around 9.75k, offers a warmer, more open voice ideal for fluid leads and expressive cleans. A push pull coil split on the tone control unlocks convincing single coil style tones, giving you a wide palette from one straightforward control layout.

Stage Ready Construction

Built to handle the demands of regular gigging, the Law Maker Legacy combines a weight relieved alder body with an updated modern carve for improved comfort and balance. Carbon rod neck reinforcement and a dual action truss rod keep the neck stable across changing climates, while the precision spoke wheel adjustment makes fine tweaks quick and easy without removing the neck or hunting for hidden access points. Glow in the dark side dots make it easy to navigate the fretboard on dark stages, so you can focus on the performance rather than the fret markers.

Premium Hardware and Electronics

From the Chapman hardtail bridge to the locking tuners and Graph Tech Tusq nut, the hardware is chosen to maximise tuning stability and sustain. The electronics are equally considered, with full size A 500k pots, Orange Drop capacitors and a treble bleed circuit on the volume control to preserve clarity as you roll back. A magnetic cavity control plate makes access to the electronics fast and tool free, ideal for players who like to fine tune or maintain their own instruments. Each guitar is inspected and approved by Chapman luthiers to ensure it is ready to inspire straight out of the box.

Key Features

• Stainless Steel Frets and Glow In The Dark Side Dots – Stainless steel frets provide an ultra smooth feel, superb resistance to wear and long lasting intonation, even under heavy playing.

• Stable, Player Focused Neck Construction – A carbon rod reinforced neck, dual action truss rod and precision spoke wheel adjustment combine to keep your setup stable and easy to fine tune. This means fewer surprises from temperature or humidity changes and quicker adjustments when you want to refine your action or relief.
• Premium Hardware and Electronics Throughout – Chapman locking tuners, a Graph Tech Tusq nut, Orange Drop capacitors, full size A 500k pots, treble bleed on the volume and a magnetic cavity control plate all work together to deliver reliable tuning, consistent tone and easy maintenance.
