Pretty much the best overview i`ve ever seen, with a really soothing voice and nice playthroughs, this is how every guitar overview should be, i hope you are watching guitarworld
Can I ask you how this guitar is wired with a 3 way switch for the three pickups. I wanted to swap in EMG and Mod it but can't find diagrams on how to alter so I can get the 3 pickups working.
Awesome demonstration Rob. I actually just got notification my ML-1 in Natural should be leaving the airport in Stansted a few minutes ago. Cannot wait! \m/
Glad to see the review of chapman guitars at total guitar Rob proud of you because i enjoy when people accomplish their goals and dreams stay strong and waiting for the ml7 explosion !
My ML-2 arrived on Monday and I've barely put it down since then. Congrats Chappers on being responsible for such an amazing guitar! This is hands down the nicest guitar I've ever played. :)
I literally brought an es 335 gibson which was £2500 and then afterwards i brought this and within 2 days i returned the es 335 and brought 4 chapman guitars including the ml1 ml1n ghost fret and the rebea special from andertons and i still had change left over these guitars are no joke they are honestly one of the nicest sounding and feeling guitars i have ever played and trust me iv played custom shops which are £12000 plus i love chapman and i would seriously recommend these guitars to anyone and everyone who will listen
Kieron Holmes I agree 100% 2wks ago i wanted a $3000 guitar played alot from Gibsons, Fenders , Ibanez ect and they were fine but so common. Then i played the Ml3 bea sig! Bought it half an hour later, and its fantastic...
Wow is this thing awesome. Lately I've been auditioning for many different music schools and I've brought a natural finished ML-1 to all of them. It plays perfectly, sounds great, and does the job right. I haven't had the chance to gig with it yet, but there is no doubt in my mind that it won't perform.
Dude its an awesome undertaking to start a guitar company in an oversaturated market. I think it is a great product. I need to buy one! Chappers awesome
Great video. It's nice to see new guitar coming up against the big names. I'm a die hard Fender fan but I really love these guitars and what a great price. Being a Tele fan I may have to get the Chappers signature model. So Richie Kotzen!!!
I did an A/B with my ML-1 (trans black wish I'd gone for sunburst now but oh well) , Jem 7vwh and Gibson 2012 LP standard have to say the yes at certain things the LP and Jem where better, but hey they cost a hell of a lot more, I have no hesitation in saying the ML-1 are an extremely usable guitar for the pro to the beginner, and in the same quality league as PRS-SE guitars. Extreme value for money ! Anyone else love Rob's "posh" voice ;)
Stunning guitar! I wish the bridge better matched the volume/tone pots and tuners though. But it's easy to put your own personal touch on these guitars, if you buy one, at this price point. I hope there will be a 6 string T-type soon!
Definitely, the wilkinson bridge will stay in tune as long as you don't go hendrix ;) You could also just block of the trem, Rob has a video on how to to that if you'd like to know how to do it
By the way, the signal chain here is Chapman Guitar - Victory Amps Silverback - Zilla Cabs Fatboy - SM58 with a touch of ambient mic - Presonus Firebox - Your ears \m/
I have one of these wilkinsons on a strat I made. They stay in tune quite nicely. What I like about the Wilkinson is its sound....very fat for a standard style trem. If you want to get a trem that is incredibly stable get a Super Vee Bladerunner. Combined with a properly cut nut and locking tuners you can to pretty nuts and stay in tune.
Sometimes when you run a guitar company not everyone wants you to be silly all the time... There are times when I am a serious guy as well... not often, but these guitars deserved a more serious demo to go with my normal tomfoolery ;-)
Love that colour. The only things about it I don't like is the reverse telecaster type headstock. I would also have preferred the pickup selector was a bit nearer to the front. it seems a bit too far towards the back imo.
You guys need to make a neck-thru of the ML-1 with a Floyd and 2 humbuckers (direct mounted). And the p.u switch needs to come close to the bridge/volume controls. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Please do a optional pickguard for your chapman guitars! Firstly I think they look better with pickguards and it will stop people chipping the finished with heavy strumming.
I have to admit, every time I've watched one of Rob's videos lately, you've been there stating your negatives over and over again. By all means, I do support the validity of constructive criticism and the sharing of opinions, but it certainly becomes worrying when a person feels the need to persist to the degree that you have been doing lately. If you don't enjoy the guitars or the videos, that's fine - keep in mind there are tens of thousands more who do :-p
Sounds brilliant! Is there any news on when your signature is going to be released onto the market? And do you reckon it can handle dropped tunings (drop C/Drop B) well? Thanks!
though I see where you're coming from, I find his videos are more interesting to watch when he's himself, rather than a salesmen. But at the end of the day this is a professional company, and does need to act accordingly.
when rob plays clean like this, it makes me appreciate his playing more
Pretty much the best overview i`ve ever seen, with a really soothing voice and nice playthroughs, this is how every guitar overview should be, i hope you are watching guitarworld
Chappers, your videos are the best. I love coming home from school everyday to find an awesome new one! Thanks for all the cool vids -Doug
The recording is top-notch! Hats off to Bea!
that intro... that voice reverb.... dude you're so f-ing mellow
I just got my ML-1 about 2 weeks ago. Hands down the most versatile and best guitar I have ever owned. Well done sir!
the way the ml1 cleans up is just astonishing
Chapman Guitars is a very small company, we cut out all the middle men - no distributor etc taking a cut.
Also, we price fairly ;-)
Can I ask you how this guitar is wired with a 3 way switch for the three pickups. I wanted to swap in EMG and Mod it but can't find diagrams on how to alter so I can get the 3 pickups working.
love the tone of the natural finished version, very cool
Awesome demonstration Rob. I actually just got notification my ML-1 in Natural should be leaving the airport in Stansted a few minutes ago. Cannot wait! \m/

Planning on getting an ML-1, 2 and 3 once three comes into production. Can't wait to get them!
Its good to see how Chapman guitars are growing. Big step up from the original ML-1 with wonky neck, but saying that I still won't get rid of it.
I am going to buy one of these before the end of this year, they are just too beautiful
Im sure this is Best looking and best sounding guitar for that price, good job Rob and thank you for this awesome guitar!
Great video Rob! Ha ha! My desk at work was rumbling at one point! Awesome!
The explosion nailed it
Man that guitar looks awesome. And Chappers freakin shreds like always!

don't you mean bought?

Recently switched to one of these from an Ibanez. As far as I'm concerned there is no other brand from now on. Amazing stuff.
Hi Rob at 3.12 my 2 year old daughter stopped what she was doing to tell me she likes this song. Nice work on this guitar
Haha love the serious end: Explosion. Nice overview !
Got my ML-1 last week and I am absolutely delighted with it! I sold my Jackson RR5 in order to fund and I am not sorry!
Beautiful guitar. Well done, Rob. Sounds amazing as well.
Incredible guitar, incredible guitarist, incredible sounding amp! Keep rocking Rob! \m/
That thing rip's Rob! great guitar, great video. keep rocking!!!
the fact that you're wearing a skyrim shirt makes it 10x better.
Great "Aeromancy" meld at the end, and the...explosion.
Wow is this thing awesome. Lately I've been auditioning for many different music schools and I've brought a natural finished ML-1 to all of them.

Please make a jazzmaster style chapman
I NEED A CHAPMAN GUITAR GOD DAMN IT!!!
nice, very nice!!! killer video and playing mate rock on Chappers!!!
excellent video rob, your doing great work . . . keep it real bro!
Wicked demo Chappers, I'm hoping to purchase myself a trans-black ml2 very soon :D
just ordered an ML1 in antique sunburst... CAN'T FKN WAIT!!
Welcome to the family ;-)
those guitars looked epic dangling against the sunlit sky!
I just went to your website and when I read I heard your voice from this video.
Dude its an awesome undertaking to start a guitar company in an oversaturated market. I think it is a great product. I need to buy one!
Chappers awesome
VERY good job Rob ! Your guitars are THE BEST !! \m/ ( i f*cking love Dorje too ) your music is soo amazing !! Bravo !
Probably the best Chapman guitar, the one withe largest versatility.
I'm ordering an ML 1 soon! My only tiny gripe is that I wish this color came with a black bridge, but otherwise, I can't wait for this baby :)))
Great video. It's nice to see new guitar coming up against the big names. I'm a die hard Fender fan but I really love these guitars and what a great price. Being a Tele fan I may have to get the Chappers signature model. So Richie Kotzen!!!
It looks and sounds perfect for everything
RobZilla! Great sounding guitars, man. Props!
Thanks man, I love my job ;-)
Incredible! Good job Rob! \m/
Really nicely done advert chappers!
I did an A/B with my ML-1 (trans black wish I'd gone for sunburst now but oh well) , Jem 7vwh and Gibson 2012 LP standard have to say the yes at certain things the LP and Jem where better, but hey they cost a hell of a lot more, I have no hesitation in saying the ML-1 are an extremely usable guitar for the pro to the beginner, and in the same quality league as PRS-SE guitars. Extreme value for money !
Anyone else love Rob's "posh" voice ;)
Is that grey I spot in Chapper's dreads? You can't be getting old on use Rob, you must live to Infinity!
getting a trans black ML-1 next week. Excited is not the word...
Stunning guitar! I wish the bridge better matched the volume/tone pots and tuners though. But it's easy to put your own personal touch on these guitars, if you buy one, at this price point. I hope there will be a 6 string T-type soon!
Cannot wait to get the funds together for a Natural ML-1, such a weapon of a guitar! \m/
Damn it looks beautiful in the sun!
Awesome demo Rob *explosion*
Definitely, the wilkinson bridge will stay in tune as long as you don't go hendrix ;) You could also just block of the trem, Rob has a video on how to to that if you'd like to know how to do it
My favorite one is the CAP10. I'd love to get one, but sadly I live in Saudi Arabia right now :D . Amazing guitars, goodluck Rob !
thats an awesome bright sound for 370. awesome guitar!
By the way, the signal chain here is Chapman Guitar - Victory Amps Silverback - Zilla Cabs Fatboy - SM58 with a touch of ambient mic - Presonus Firebox - Your ears \m/
hey rob nice video it seems really professional
My god, this convinced me. My next guitar will be a ML-1!!!
awesome guitar great job Rob!
Lovin' my ML1 korean' 4 yrs have now \m/!
I have one of these wilkinsons on a strat I made. They stay in tune quite nicely. What I like about the Wilkinson is its sound....very fat for a standard style trem.
If you want to get a trem that is incredibly stable get a Super Vee Bladerunner. Combined with a properly cut nut and locking tuners you can to pretty nuts and stay in tune.
Nice "Radio Announcement" voice Chap! :)
Wow ..what a beautiful guitar... I really liked it.
awesome demo. do more!!!
Definately my next axe :0 , cant wait to get my hands on one!
I'll admit, that is one nice looking guitfiddle you got there.
Sometimes when you run a guitar company not everyone wants you to be silly all the time...
There are times when I am a serious guy as well... not often, but these guitars deserved a more serious demo to go with my normal tomfoolery ;-)
CANT WAIT TO GET MINE
love that burst
Does anyone else notice the skyrim shirt?? Nice playing btw
I like your commentary ;D it's sounds cool
Love that colour. The only things about it I don't like is the reverse telecaster type headstock. I would also have preferred the pickup selector was a bit nearer to the front. it seems a bit too far towards the back imo.
Sorry Rob, I didn't mean to nitpick!.. its the lawyer in me. Love your videos!
bloody awesome!! i want one ahha
I think when you pull out the tone you get a whole different wiring pattern so it's pretty versatile
Oh the clear tone playing oh....
Didn't really like the Antique Sunburst but then I saw the Natural finish ML1. I need it.
Just ordered an ML1. Looks great, but I'd love a black trem!
It's an amazing sounding guitar
You guys need to make a neck-thru of the ML-1 with a Floyd and 2 humbuckers (direct mounted). And the p.u switch needs to come close to the bridge/volume controls.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
A trans Blue-burst finish would be epic!
I WANT ONE ALREADY STOCK MOAR PLS We love you.
this reminds me a lot of mark knopflers pensa mk1
Thanks dude ;-)
I need to own one of these but can't choose which D:
All so pretty!
Please do a optional pickguard for your chapman guitars! Firstly I think they look better with pickguards and it will stop people chipping the finished with heavy strumming.
as long as you use heavier strings to accomodate the lower tunings then it will never become "unstable"
so funny to see such an official video ...mad rob
"Explosion"... At the end.... WIN!!!!
I have to admit, every time I've watched one of Rob's videos lately, you've been there stating your negatives over and over again.

I've noticed a difference in your playing since your change of scenery Mr. Champman.
Well if it's a C neck profile it's going to be close to a strat neck. Should be very comfortable to play. Hope this helped :)
I am so excited to get this guitar! Hopefully shipping to canada wont cost me too much! Also, if i ordered it now, when would it come in? \M/
though I see where you're coming from, I find his videos are more interesting to watch when he's himself, rather than a salesmen. But at the end of the day this is a professional company, and does need to act accordingly.
would like to have seen a demo of the prs behind chapmans head.
