Sit Rob in a sound proof isolation chamber 3 meters from each guitar and he's only allowed to sense them with his Jedi aura.
Aurora
“That’s a Chapman”
He would still get them all right. And the color. And the name of the person in the factory who inspected it. And what he or she had for breakfast that day.
Oh. I thought the googly eyes were going to be a permanent fixture.
They really ought to be.
I agree. It's comedy value going to waste otherwise!
Maybe this was shot before that idea came up?
They should be. Had me cracking up! Am disappointed they have vanished!
Different sizes according to the 'technical' difficulty of the challenge maybe?
You know now you MUST have a blindfold SMELL TEST !!!
Oh that will happen :-)
Smell the valve amp!
Always said Gibson’s had a certain smell. How about a blind fold, nose block and headphone Gibson feel test
life itself is a big smell test when you think about it
@@456asd654 DEEP lol
Surprised that Rob didn't spot the emgs. I guess that's a win
Especially when he rolls back the volume. That's a dead giveaway for him!
Next episode: Rob wears a gas mask and correctly identifies the custom shop Strat.
"Are you my mummy?"
Matt Queefy :-)
Captain, if you ever start a band, you should call it Lee and Da Tones
thats amazing Ahahah
Well done
"Captain And ... er ... to-nille ...? No.
(I'll let myself out.)
Captain Lay Under Tones
It’ll be captain lee and the undertones
Still need Rob to start the video facing the wrong way
When I did the Gibson factory tour, they said they added vanilla to the lacquer to make it more palatable to spray every day.
Yep. I bought one of the cheap double cut Les Pauls (P90s) and the smell hits you as soon as you open the case. Now i know why!
What’s up dude! :)
are you serious? or this is a joke?? because I'm about to believe it...
Kealogy yes he is serious.
Rhe case and the guitat smell of vanilla
Hey, who doesn't like cream soda.
Oh he'll probably smell the Gibson.
And yep he did.
I'm not a Rob Chapman fan, but I agree that the smell of a new Gibson is one of the best smells in the world
@@jeremiahfotherington I do like the scent of new guitars
I agree the Gibson scent is among the nicest out there ahah
I would say the smell of a Gibson is the same as any other non 100% cnc guitar
Bryan D. Except it isn’t, because they purposely add vanilla scent. My Gibson and its case reek of vanilla, very definitely a marketing trick but one that seems to have worked!
What does not being a fan have to do with agreeing with him? You just want people to notice you or?
My blindfold challenge to you chaps: can you spot me when I visit Andertons in about three weeks, coming all the way from New Zealand specifically to look at your guitar shop after watching these entertaining videos for the last 7 years?
OMG I hope you can’t smell me!
Do you smell like Kiwi?
you will be disappointed - go to coda music/world music/peach guitars instead - they are a great bunch of guys at andertons no doubt but the shop is always less cool than you would imagine
You’ll be disapointed because it’s The Captains shop, not Chappers’.
Try to make time to head down to guitar village as well. Farnham is just around the corner.
djchange I think he means chaps=guys=male people.
One thing I've learned is that Rob knows his guitars, and if he can't tell between an Epiphone Les Paul Pro and Gibson Les Paul Traditional, it means those Chinese made guitars are getting very good, well, at least the one in the video is very good.
some of them are made in indonesia, its a world of difference between those and the chinese made ones.
I recently had a similar experience as Rob but took it a slightly different direction and also tried a PRS SE CU24. I ended up liking the PRS more than both the Gibson and the Epiphone, but the Epiphone was no slouch either. Import guitars have really stepped their game up.
Kendall LaFollette I’ve got a Matt Heafy Snøfall Les Paul Custom 6 from Indonesia and it outplays my Epiphone Les Paul Classic from China by 10x. Maybe part of that has to do with my preference for EMGs but 🤷🏽♂️
They’re REALLY good. The higher-end ones are practically identical at this point. Cheap guitars are getting so good they’re actually better value for money than real gibsons and fenders
oh man I lost it when Pete started his dry retching!!!
Me too. Also his german counting got me pretty good. I so want this guy sitting at my bar, fooling around all the time.
I died laughing
"Gibsons have a smell" I'd love to see GB Corporate sneak that line into their next ad.
1:50 seems like Rob just had an... epiphony
👏👏👏
it's not often I actually laugh out loud properly but Pete behind the camera making throwing-up noises and Lees reaction was BRILLIANT!
They should put a Andertons in USA. They would destroy all the major brands chain stores. Love the videos
Agreed
These blindfold challenges improve my day without fail... Thankyou!
Up next on Andertons TV: Rob has to correctly identify a set of Celestion Vintage 30s by smelling Polaroid photographs of several different cabinets
In other news, Spinal Tap announced their new album today, 'Smell The Gibson'.
Pete wretching, i'm crying!
Figured you'd have more epiphone les paul tributes? Feel wouldn't change much but having the gibson USA pickups may throw a wrench in there
Been watching you guys for years. Glad you’re still doing it. Love the blindfold challenges. :)
I've got a ton of respect for Rob for being honest about the smell.
The man can smell the Gibson.
Sure, they smell wonderful.
struntsi I have no idea. I've only played a very old Gibson SG.
struntsi, I was at a hockey game and a woman sat next to me having some perfume smelling like that nice gibson smell. I still regret today why I didnt asked what fregrance it was.
@@HenkeEdge now you know cross between playdoh and marzipan
Try M Yeah in one way but still dont know what brand and name of the perfume.
Could be nice to know if buying one for the next girlfriend. ;)
That epi with the binding. Sounds gorgeous!
Great video, as always. Interested in statement @15:05 "There is no reason to buy a Gibson over an Epiphone unless..." Reading between the lines here, but (following the creation in the UK of GAP - GuitarGuitar/Andersons/PMT - to act as a large distribution co. with impressive collective buying power) is LA sounding a very strong warning shot to Gibson for the future? i.e., what he's really saying is: 'Don't dictate to us retailers what numbers we have to take and what brands we can and cannot promote alongside the Gibson wall. WE will tell YOU how many Gibsons we want to take, and WE will stock/sell/show other brands in our retail outlets exactly as WE want to.'
The backround sound effects were spot on
i LOVE hearing danish pete laughing his ass over the"Matt Queefy" gag 😂
"Relax, i'm from the internet." Is the greatest quote of all time.
Sometimes I think of taking a well earned vacation from Canada to come over and buy that SUPER FLAMIE Traditional.
LOL, what’s next? Take away sense of hearing, sight and smell, and make him go strictly off of feel?! Can you imagine walking into a music store with a blindfold and nose plugs, then asking the sales person to assist you in shopping for a guitar?? 😉✌🏻
I love starting off my mornings with these videos. Much love from the USA lads!
Haha great, I always enjoy 'em in my lunch break here in Germany. :)
Should have used an Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus with the Gibson 57's in it. Great never the less !
Or the Bjorn Gelotte Epi
I have one of these. After playing it and a couple Gibson's I couldn't justify the price of a USA model.
I was hoping for this too, maybe in a future video!
The Gibson 57s are my favorite Gibson pickups. Burstbuckers are too pokey and shrill to my ears and the epiphone ones are the other way, too dull and crap.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 Ditto!
Absolutely brilliant! This video was indeed UA-cam GOLD! I laughed so hard I nearly pissed my pants. Thanks so much!
May I say, that after watching some old videos, modern Rob looks much better. Well done, sir!
Should have used that 7 string gibson you'd have definitely fooled him
What a great group of guys. Great channel.
I love it when Danish Pete started to gag as Rob tries to block his nose with earplugs. 8:22
One of the best Andertons video!
I Love the Smell of Gibson in the Morning
Hahahahahaaaaaaaa Priceless. If ever I'm down I just come to Anderton's to brighten my day. I love you guys!!!
Never get tired of these videos.
7:51 10/10 video, easily in the top 5 of all time on either Anderton's or Rob's channel, megasuperuberduperopoliplexlion perfect video!!!
This is gold. Pure gold.
Lee's expression at 12:25 when Rob started doing Sweet Child 'O Mine was wonderful.
do another video but with prs and prs se
mynameisKeeJeff YESSS I was so thinking that. Because I want one, and I'm not sure how good they are.
The carve is a lot different between the core and se. That would be a dead giveaway.
Perhaps SE and S2? Although the results wouldn't be quite as interesting.
I own both companies guitars and both types of pickups, you can tell the differance between the pickups. if you really get a good setup and finishing on a guitar it'll be hard to tell, but the probuckers are noticable for being a bit flat, the burstbuckers have a bit more range and sing more. Also most epi's use the crappy cheap green caps and cheap pots.
Personal note, I have been watching Chappers and the Captain for a few years now and let me tell you, Thank you very much for providing hours and hours of entertainment and useful gear knowledge. There have been some grey days where your show has really brightened an otherwise cloudy day. Cheers and thank you very much.
As for this episode, Geaux Epiphone. All 3 of my Les Paul style guitars are Epi's, Zakk Wylde sigs, so I am bias.
As always, I love the blind fold challenge.
Question, does Andertons stock The Heritage, H 150? If so, would love to see a review.
Great vid! (As usual ;) ) But what I really would like to see is if Rob can spot the Gibson if you change the Epis pups... Would be an awesome info for the modders out there.
Lol wow before he grabbed the Gibson I thought “the smell is going to give it away” nailed it!
The pointers on the volume and tone controlls is also a giveaway..
captain. waiting for your review for gibson 2019 line up.
Likewise man 👍
YES!!!
of course they are good but if you have that much money to buy, get a PRS or high end Fender + other rig gear. Gidson just continues to grow in price, way too expensive for whatever your financial status is. overpriced. Buy from your favorite UA-cam guitarists like Chapman (get the pro models though) or Solar Guitars.
Throughout all the video Rob had the gut feeling that they are all kemper
"Captain did you just farter"
"No Rob I did not"
"But I can still hear"
"Dammit"
an Epiphone tribute plus would have been an interesting add (since it has Gibson pickups). Fun to watch.
Hey guys, really appreciate the edits during the "reveal" when we see rob's initial reaction while lee explains what was what. RORY HERO
Should've stuck a 'Chibson' in there!
Black Cat FTW!
That sunburst Epiphone that he thought was a Gibson was made in China.
It will seem they are promoting fakes, so they can't do that.
They should have had a high end MIJ Tokai in there too, but Gibson dealers are banned from stocking Tokai... and I imagine the same applies to Bacchus and the like too.
I don't think Andertons carries those ;)
just bought an epiphone les paul standard pro plus from andertons this week on the basis of this video..amazing guitar great to play and the honey burst is beautiful, thanks
Hi, all fab channel love it. Its almost my favourite tv program 😂. Just a question? Do you think hand care is important and what do you use if you do? Any advise on finger nails?, short, long? Cheers guys keep up the good work?
Please do an all about the bass version like this! I'm really interested in a p bass comparison
Awesome video as always. I love the smell of my Gibson. I try to keep it in the case to preserve the sweet aroma.
Now, that is really impressive. Knowing guitars by smell is borderline legendary.
One of the best demos, yet, chaps! Goes to show you that, Epiphone has raised the bar in craftsmanship & sound. I could definitely tell the difference with the EMGs vs the other humbuckers. I like both sounds...
When I was a kid I once told my mam I liked fig biscuits. For the next five years I had them in every chuffin pack up. These blindfold challenge are my new fig biscuits 😂😂
Pete making noises in the background is a highlight of this video lmao!
I know what he means about the smell. My Fender Strat has a specific smell. Not sure if it's the guitar, or the case, or whatever. But it has a specific smell that I love!
lol this challenge would be insanely easy. you can usually just tell by the pickup selector feel!
The Matt Heafy signature really is a great guitar. I own the 7 string and it is everything I could have ever wanted in a guitar.
You guys have the most Amusing music channel ever. Shame I never end up in England.
Hey Guys (Love you btw; Love the blindfold challenges) have you ever done a review of an early '90's Gibson Les Paul Lite?
I'm getting one from ebay.
The epi les paul bridge pickup sounded great
Are you guys going to do and Gibson lineup breakdown this year? And if so, can you please also do the basses?
Little bit of cool info, Gibson actually puts vanilla in the lacquer for their guitars so when you open one for the first time it smells really good
Its so funny that people don't smell a Gibson and think it's crazy or something. I can smell a Les Paul and especially when it's plugged in. It has a nostalgic smell back to the warm old wood at grandma's house, somehow it blends in and stands out to me to this day.
Chappers smelt it, Gibson dealt it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can immediately tell my gibson from my epi by the smell haha. Great stuff
I love that Gibson smell also, can open my Les Paul Standard case just to take a sniff.
Does it goes away? My guitar is a 2016.
You only have to feel the difference between the nut on the 3 way toggle switch to tell a gibson & epi apart blindfold
I have the Epiphone Plus Top Pro - the one Rob thought was the Gibson at the end. I am only mildly surprised at his confusion - and he is GREAT at this. I have been telling people the coil splitting Probucker pickups and overall fit and finish on this guitar is truly amazing - as good as any Gibson LP I've ever played. Now I see that the maestro Rob Chapman apparently agrees. Save your money people unless you just need the snob factor!
What brand is that blue fender type guitar in the corner at 7:50?
You should add a made in Japan Tokai Les Paul in this blindfold test! Great guitars!
Really love these blindfold videos!
Damn Rob is the undisputed World Champion 😂. This dude !!
Well done. Rob was honest to take away smell. I think you should have thrown in a Gibson LP Studio or Tribute in the mix.
One the best things I’ve seen in a while is chappers playing the sweet child o’mine lick with the blindfold and noseplugs
It's not just the headstock that is a giveaway. The switch is completely different and the pickguard on some of them (obviously ones which have pickguards) have a greater chamfer.
/Lee picks up earplugs
Pete: "They're used"
Rob: "Give me some new ones"
/Lee puts earplugs down
Me: "That was really gross"
Is the Matt heafy really that much heavier? It didn’t feel heavy to me (the 7 string version) but that might be because I was used to the synyster custom which compring the two is heavier weight wise to me
What amp is the guitar plugged into
As the proud owner of the standard pro also in honey burst, I'm chuffed 😄
One thing that might be easier to work with than earplugs up the nose is a drop or two of olbas oil/other peppermint oil preparation under each nostril.
It also works pretty well for changing the really bad nappies.
The Epiphone Pro guitars are so damn good! if you improve the playability they are easily as good as gibsons for 3 times the price.
Chappers + Blindfold = GOLD
I would like to see you do one of these challenges with an Epiphone 1960 tribute or so. They're basically Gibsons with a poly lacquer. I'm curious to what Rob would say to that.
16:58 best ever edit
I'm addicted to the blind challenge vids -- tops.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Blindfold challenge! 15:19 was pretty funny! Loved it!
That is an unexpected twist
I pushed the thumb up right when Rob locked his nose!!!
Pure gold.
