"jumped out of the car, while I was driving." Do Brits not get this class in Primary school? How are you going to jump out of a mustang loaded with high explosives just before it crashes into the reinforced steel door of the bad guy's base, so you can walk in through the flaming wreckage with an AR-15 in each hand and deliver freedom and justice?
As a long time subscriber, im so happy to see you networking with so many wonderful companies! both of those guitars sounded sooo amazing!! The Axis had such rich harmonics when you would bend and vibrato! Really pierced my soul!
Music Man has got to be one of the best guitar makers ever. The craftsmanship on their guitars is second to none. I have a Neptune Blue Axis with sterling pups and it is absolutely stunning.
I've been looking forward to seeing these axes, and they certainly don't disappoint! Also, glad to see you're still keeping the blue Chapman warm for me Rob :)
Mr. Rob Chappers, You have gracious friends and family and i am not envious of you, but i am rather ecstatic for you! Congratulations to your new playable pieces of art (i call my custom builds my "children" since they are the brainchild product of talented peoples). Long story short, enjoy and i really dig the builds. I am waiting on a custom build as we speak....about another month or so after she leaves the finishing studio I'll showcase. Awesome stuff man^^^
I absolutely love the new Chapman playing man. Shows off a side of you the shred stuff lacked, for lack of a better term, emotion. You had soul, but now even your heavy shreds stuff has beautiful and soul to it. Absolutely stunning playing and tone. Cheers from a bassist🍻🤟
28 guitars in my collection and ...my MM Axis still ranking high after 18 years or so ... these are very special guitars and one can feel it right from the first touch ...congratulations ... very nice pieces of gear.
Yeah I don't get this either. You can give me a free guitar. No wait never mind don't. I don't know what it is but I don't like any guitars Music Man makes. They all look ugly to me.
Yeah, well... exposure of their product through a well known individual is kind of the entire point with these types of gifts. If they sent it to some unknown yt bozo there wouldn't be anything in it for them in return... it's called business, they're not just being "nice". Quid pro quo.
Imagine if the owner of Honda, went and made a video about how good Ford is and how he was so happy that Ford had made him a custom car. That's one of the reasons I love Rob Chapman and the guitar industry. I will eventually own a Chapman guitar even though there are no guitar stores that sell them anywhere near me. The world would be a better place if other companies would learn to cooperate with competitors to develop better products for us consumers. Thanks Rob, you're great!
Congrats Rob, I wondered what ever happened to the Armada. It seems quite a while ago you were specing it out. Glad to see final result it is beautiful. Love the top. So hard to beat a music Man guitar. Every one I own is quality piece of work. Someday I hope to get a British made Chapman to compare to.
Chappers, how about a copper top for an ML2, etched and embossed like the Snake-oil pedals? That would look so good, especially with a little bit of ammonia & salt induced verdigris!
Beautiful pair of guitars. I have a bunch of EBMM guitars including an Axis SS. The neck does feel a little different flipping from one guitar to the another as i believe it is an asymmetrical cross section. Your's is mint!
Wow. How cool is that! 2 custom MusicMan guitars built to your own spec for free. Must be nice to live in your world. Lol. I been playing the same old Mexican Strat for the past 4 years without an amp. Lol.
I love that the first thing Rob did was put a slide on it, them 'buckers be yummy! Aaarr .. but then Rob said thank you on the second guitar .. dude has musical language in his fingers. Congrats, Man! And thank you. Peace Out Cub Scout!
great slide guitar! great shape! phew! finally something thats not a copy of a strat/gibson!! run with it rob! and do more slide ( theres more cudos than normal) A+++
Love the Armada without the triangle. Just can't get down with the way the triangle splits the body, so I keep passing them up. I hear they're great guitars tho.
That bluesy riffing on the first guitar... Man... I was feeling it. Anyway, how about a massive gear wank video where you show us bunch guitars and/or amps and/or pedals from your collection? I wold personally love to just see the variety of gear you have come to possess.
Beautiful guitars, still blows my mind that they give someone that owns a guitar company free guitars. Personally I'd love to have an Armada or a Blackout Stingray. Oh well keep me in mind for Christmas 😉 and Rob you sound amazing as always.
Many thanks to the awesome Music Man family for this amazing gift ;-)

I see you got the Bassbreaker! I have the 45 and I love it!

The second one sounds absolutely incredible.
What a great Pair you have there Rob... :D
Every youtuber with MM guitar : sherds and play metal
Rob : pulls out his slider
Rob with any other guitar : shredding and metal lol
That was badass af
Kristian Utomo Tobing
Sherded it.......
Dave Males lighten up Francis. Whatever sinister criticism you think he’s making, he wasn’t.
Kent Carlevi is why I bought an axis.
Wow! The armada is stunning!! The finish,the wood absolutely gorgeous!
Lucky man

You finally got them, been waiting for ages to see them. Stunning!!!!
1:33: holly cow, this thing is beautiful !
The setup of the pic-ups is incredible !
Rob, that In the Sunshine lick is pure fire, keep it up!
Personaly If I had to choose I would pick the blue Chapman behind you... The looks are a killer for me...
Ooh that carved top on the armada looks awesome
Definitely
The ARMADA is WONDERFUL!!
Congrats!
wow thats one sweet guitar mr chapman ....thanks for showing some amazing craftsmanship from the EBMM family
Music Man has got to be one of the best guitar makers ever. The craftsmanship on their guitars is second to none. I have a Neptune Blue Axis with sterling pups and it is absolutely stunning.
That Axis is SO gorgeous!! Damn near losing my mind over the colot/rosewood neck too!
I've been looking forward to seeing these axes, and they certainly don't disappoint! Also, glad to see you're still keeping the blue Chapman warm for me Rob :)
Both turned out very sick! Love the overall vibe.
I like the shape of the first one. Its a good amalgamation of 2 different guitars.
love your content. sick slide skills.
Those both look and sound great; I love the tops on those. Also, that Bassbreaker sounds amazing as well.
Mr. Rob Chappers,
You have gracious friends and family and i am not envious of you, but i am rather ecstatic for you! Congratulations to your new playable pieces of art (i call my custom builds my "children" since they are the brainchild product of talented peoples). Long story short, enjoy and i really dig the builds. I am waiting on a custom build as we speak....about another month or so after she leaves the finishing studio I'll showcase. Awesome stuff man^^^
Love the Super Sport what a beautiful color and the grain of the wood unbelievable.
Two awesome guitars. Lucky you Rob ! Of course they are well deserved.
Oh Rob......
That slide and blues playing was sweet. Your shreds are awesome. But that was a nice side of you to hear. A lot more earthy. 👍
Those are stunning! Congrats Rob!
Love the slide work Rob!
Nicely done Rob, congratulations on being the Chappers. Wish you success in all future endeavors, Jeff in LA USA
I just stared at that beautiful finish and wood grain the entire time.
Gorgeous guitars man! 😊 both stunners! Love the tone. Have an awesome day Rob! 😊🙏🤟
I absolutely love the new Chapman playing man. Shows off a side of you the shred stuff lacked, for lack of a better term, emotion. You had soul, but now even your heavy shreds stuff has beautiful and soul to it. Absolutely stunning playing and tone. Cheers from a bassist🍻🤟
Those guitars look awesome Rob and they sound great
Congrats Rob!!! Love Music Man. I have 3 of them myself.
28 guitars in my collection and ...my MM Axis still ranking high after 18 years or so ... these are very special guitars and one can feel it right from the first touch ...congratulations ... very nice pieces of gear.
so we have this friend who has innumerable guitars and owns a guitar company, better send him a couple of guitars :P
Yeah I don't get this either. You can give me a free guitar. No wait never mind don't. I don't know what it is but I don't like any guitars Music Man makes. They all look ugly to me.
Well Mr Anderton actually owners Chapman guitars....
Yeah, well... exposure of their product through a well known individual is kind of the entire point with these types of gifts. If they sent it to some unknown yt bozo there wouldn't be anything in it for them in return... it's called business, they're not just being "nice". Quid pro quo.
@@ksroome Lee and Rob each own half of the company.
Bitter.

I have a Music Man Valentine, and it's such a brilliant guitar. The neck is probably the best you will find on any guitar.
my goodness that axis sounds MENTAL!
YES, I have been waiting for those!!!
That slide bit was beautiful, man!
FINALLY, was waiting for this since the music man video...
Congrats Rob, they are insanely gorgeous!!! 🤘🏻
Chappers, why is this the first we get to hear you play with slide for any length of time? Love it!!! But I also love slide!!!
They look & suond Wicked Rob love the slide jam....roll that power on Bro!

Wow !!fantastic armada
Lovely Axis. Now you know why EVH loved them before the Peavey and Fender days. They really hit it out of the park with that guitar!
What a beast that armada is, love the finish.
The original Armada is nice...but that carved top is REALLY nice!
Chappers, how about a copper top for an ML2, etched and embossed like the Snake-oil pedals? That would look so good, especially with a little bit of ammonia & salt induced verdigris!
Amazing necks on their guitars! Nothing else quite like them.
Wow the second guitar sounds sick!
Absolutely stunning! Music Man guitars and basses are stellar! 🙌🏻
Beautiful guitars. Your the man, Rob.
Beautiful pair of guitars. I have a bunch of EBMM guitars including an Axis SS. The neck does feel a little different flipping from one guitar to the another as i believe it is an asymmetrical cross section. Your's is mint!
The Armadas are, in my book, the most beautiful AND coolest guitars built.
EBMM always my favorite guitar company. Simply the best. Congratz Rob!!
I was getting into that SLIDE groove😎🙈🙉🙊
gtiman67 Right? I didn't want that part of the video to end!
Very Awesome. Great Axes brother!
Rob you devil. Goddamn both of these are unbelievable
That thing looks and sounds great.
3:03 man that sounds amazing. I hope this is a full song, please.
Killer tones man!!!
Absolutely awesome looking and sounding guitars. Chuffed for you :)
Body style of the first one is Sick!!!!! Cheers from Texas 🍻
That diamond-less Armada is how they should be doing them - or at least as an option. Only thing that could've made it better was a satin finish.
Same here. Armada look much better without the diamond!
+1
ive been waiting for this since the documentary came out
Those guitars look amazing man
Great choices of wood! Beautiful great sounding guitars.
I sir am 46, and can now see your old man genes are kicking in. TWO BROWN guitars.
the second one is just gorgeous
That’s a sweet custom Armada!
Now THAT is how an Armada is supposed to look! I want one!
That Armada was so amazing, at first I had trouble realizing it was an Armada
Slide and the first bit sounded familiar 😂😂 very tasty guitars Rob your so lucky 👍 I'm still longing for a Ghost Fret
Wow. How cool is that! 2 custom MusicMan guitars built to your own spec for free. Must be nice to live in your world. Lol. I been playing the same old Mexican Strat for the past 4 years without an amp. Lol.
New guitar days = Best days! Congrats on the new axes 😉
I love that the first thing Rob did was put a slide on it, them 'buckers be yummy! Aaarr .. but then Rob said thank you on the second guitar .. dude has musical language in his fingers. Congrats, Man! And thank you. Peace Out Cub Scout!
Glad you bought the Bassbreaker 30
Loved The MM Amarda first time round !! Your right about losing the V !! Couldn’t afford it then .. be outa sight now !!
Rob please get MusicMan to sell your version. It’s truly classic and gorgeous. 🤘
Nice playing here !
That Fender amp sounds incredible
The armada, wooooooow in every single aspect, wooooow
That Armada is sick, man!
Rob’s shirt reminds me of the album
Cover for one of these nights by the eagles
Sounds freaking awesome Rob!! .. lucky dog 😂
That's one sexy tone coming off that single cut Armada.
Must be nice, still havent seen a Chapman guitar at guitar center Houston tx
Gotta love the Chappers and his words of wonerous wisdom...
Super sport...looks light......in weight.....
Very nice...
damn! Happy NGDx2! like a friggin Boss!
Wow 2 sweet fiddles.The first one ( shape) reminds me of a fernandes ravelle
I like that despite being market rivals (to a degree), Chapman Guitars and Ernie Ball are cool with each other
great slide guitar! great shape! phew! finally something thats not a copy of a strat/gibson!! run with it rob! and do more slide ( theres more cudos than normal) A+++
Not only do I like Armada better, I liked Rob's blues style of playing too. Jimmy Bob Chapman
Love the Armada without the triangle. Just can't get down with the way the triangle splits the body, so I keep passing them up. I hear they're great guitars tho.
That bluesy riffing on the first guitar... Man... I was feeling it. Anyway, how about a massive gear wank video where you show us bunch guitars and/or amps and/or pedals from your collection? I wold personally love to just see the variety of gear you have come to possess.
My giddy aunt, that Armada though. Great looking, tone, and riff.
Its so beautiful!
Axis yeah! The best Evh guitar
Beautiful guitars, still blows my mind that they give someone that owns a guitar company free guitars. Personally I'd love to have an Armada or a Blackout Stingray.
Oh well keep me in mind for Christmas 😉 and Rob you sound amazing as always.
