  • @trollfiddler

    A bit of pure speculation after wading through the comments. Once upon a time all Chapman guitars were equal and the poor kids loved you like a hero. Now suddenly there are "better" ones that the poor kids can't afford. Is there now a sort of envy gap in the range? A lot of the fan boys seem to be spewing hate below. I sincerely hope you don't alienate your core demographic. I like you guys and wish you continued success.

    @garofalo92 7 років тому +4

    They look and seem like a great guitar, deffinitly giving me and Schecter/LTD vibe. No wonder since they're made in the same factory.
    Sadly... The price, No deal. An ML1 Pro is about $1500 Canadian.
    For that money I can get an american Strat or tele, Mexican Charvels, Gibson V, Explorer, LP Studio, high-end Ibanez's, pro series Jackson's and high-end PRS SE's For about $100-300 less.
    Even high end Ltds, Schecters are about 300-500 cheaper.
    Guessing the exporting and shipping fees are the killer

    Good luck with the axes boys. Only one comment: while cool aesthetics for the Hipshot open tuners, I gotta say locking tuners would probably be more appropriate [and stable]...

  • @connerthompson5512
    @connerthompson5512 7 років тому

    Hey Rob, PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. I admire you so much and mean no disrespect. The reason I subscribed around 5 years is because of a jam you & Lee shared (PRS SE Mark Tremonti & SE 245 Demo). That jam was so melodic & soulful it actually inspired me to begin learning to play lead guitar (Oh and I also bought the 245 because of that video). Sure, I love watching these videos for the Gear Reviews and Comedic banter you & Lee share with each other. However, It's been a while since you've inspired me to play. Lately it's been the Cameos from Bea & Pete thats kept me around.. Long comment put short, please care about the viewers as much as you care about shredding! (Don't get me wrong shredding is awesome) But I can only stand so much 2-handed tapping before I fast-forward to see if Bea & Pete are gonna be in the video.
    Love ya Rob, I mean no disrespect, keep making videos!!

  • @Spidouz
    @Spidouz 7 років тому +37

    Sorry, but I'm not really convinced... I don't want to sound too negative and be "that guy" (because I like you guys), so I won't elaborate more than I just don't think in my mind that Chapman Guitars is nowhere near (yet?) to be a guitar brand close to others such Fender, Gibson, PRS, Schecter, Jackson, Ibanez, etc... The price jump in Chapman Guitars might work for some fans, but overall, for general basic buyers, if they have to choose between a Chapman Pro and another guitar from brands listed above, some even made in the US, I think it will be no doubt they will go for the famous brand. When Chapman guitars were very affordable, it was a good base for people that even wanted to customized them and because there was no much competition in this price spot. But over $1,200 or $1,300, there's plenty plenty of choices that will definitely buy before to get a Chapman.

    • @dl88889
      @dl88889 7 років тому +5

      Phil Smith agreed. Im looking to buy one of the standard lineup which is still good value, but the pro lineup is kinda overpriced as its competing with well-established models from other brands (american specials, Classic 60s, sg standard Ts)

    • @WoodesosGuitarMods
      @WoodesosGuitarMods 7 років тому +4

      I agree whole-heartedly. I bought one of the ML3 Traditionals and it was $800, taxes in. The current prices have you saying no to many other long standing brands. It's like the price increase on Squier Classic Vibes and Vintage Modified. You were getting a great guitar at an unbelievable price. The new guitars in Chapman's line have shot up over a $1000 here in Canada and for $1000 you're saying no to Fenders, Gibson's, and most other established brands. Don't forget that these will also have NO resale value if you don't end up wanting to keep it. Unlike established brands, this these will never increase in value beyond the novelty of them. And I too love these guys and both channels. But... the pricing means it's not a great deal anymore and you'll absolutely look elsewhere, unless you're an uber fan.

  • @Claimjumper55
    @Claimjumper55 6 років тому

    I wasn't even considering one of these but got a chance to play one recently. I was really blown away by the quality, especially at the asking price. So now I own a ML1 Pro Modern and I'm having a blast with it.

  • @crummockiphail9720

    • @o0Donuts0o
      @o0Donuts0o 7 років тому +14

      I think everyone has flights of fancy when they imagine that their Gibson was carved by some grizzled 75 year old wood worker in a barn in Memphis, spending days sanding and shaping some unique piece of wood that was felled by hand from a tree in the hinterlands.
      Meanwhile back at the factory the guitar was spewed out by a CNC machine that will cut 1000's of bodies with nary a inkling of character or micron of difference.

    • @jacksonk75k95
      @jacksonk75k95 7 років тому +1

      Zach Pfeif ya it really is a shame. however the deal with most of them is that they are in need of a simple set up. I got a 2017 lp tribute used that had been set up, and upgraded with locking tuners and new pickups for $750 and it turned out to be an incredible quality instrument

      It is getting difficult to find a decent recent Gibson for sure but it is possible and I still think the custom shop gear is worth the money if you have it however its hard to justify £3500 for one when you can go find a great guitar for £900+

The whole concept was collaborative design (no longer. they came out with tons more models and changes without voting) and to make the best playing feeling guitar for the cheapest price without sacrificing quality (now they make a cheap model and expensive model like every other guitar company). oh well... popularity changed everything :(

    In California, these have been remarkably difficult to get a hold of. I think that speaks volumes to the quality. I finally got my mitts on one, will be here in just under a week. I have been lurking behind my screens, watching the wonderful progress everyone has been making. I hope one day I could even be an artist on the roster. It's kind of funny... watching for over 10 years makes me somehow feel a part of the journey... all the voting and excitement... Everyone has certainly put in tons and tons of hard work over the years... I am proud of everyone. And I will be proud to be finally playing Chapman guitars. Cheers!

    • @greekfreak1980
      @greekfreak1980 7 років тому +2

      The thing is,Made in Korea Schecters(same price category) come either with brand-name pickups(S.Duncan or EMG) or with their own,Made in USA Schecter pickups(they have various humbucker models).Keep in mind,Schecter started as a pickup company,like S.Duncan,DiMarzio,EMG etc.before they went on making guitars.

    • @rexhelley1828
      @rexhelley1828 7 років тому +7

      I think the 'guitarnivore' pickups before were fairly decent. I couldn't understand the price jump either. I always thought they were a mid priced before but now they are asking silly money I don't think there is any justification. They're opting to go for 'pro' range guitars when the roots of the company were collaborative design and affordable. Lost their way and seeing only £££ and $$$

    • @flyingmanforfun

  • @MrBrian-fq4lr
    @MrBrian-fq4lr 7 років тому +9

    It's not so much the initial price that gets me, but the longterm value that makes me nervous. I could get an Ibanez Prestige, American Fender, any number of guitars in that thousand dollar range that would actually feel like an investment that has some worth down the road if I ever needed to part ways with it. I don't feel that with Chapman. I see them going used for major drops in value, and it just feels like throwing money away in that case.

    • @eddardsnark1548
      @eddardsnark1548 7 років тому +2

      The Pro range, I agree. I wouldn't gamble on one of those at the moment. The Standard ones don't seem like too big of a risk though. Then again "affordable" guitars aren't really an investment the same way higher tier guitars are.
      Only time will tell though. I feel like, give it a year or two, we'll see a lot of these new Chapmans on the secondhand market. Chapman will come out with a newer product line, and these ones will depreciate by a lot. I agree, buy something that's still going to be worth something after a while.

    That moment when Korean guitars (Chapman especially) prices just sky rockets, and something like a Standard full size Gibson Explorer drops between 20-40% in price, where as Chapman/the korean guitars are like 30-40% more..........

    • @waynetowers5046
      @waynetowers5046 7 років тому +20

      Zyx Indeed. And, despite the corporate philosophy Gibson have, I'd prefer a Gibson any day of the week. 'Likeability' plays a huge part over obnoxious, third person [self] referral product placements.

    • @Masterfighterx
      @Masterfighterx 7 років тому +30

      By the looks of it now, the Gibson is a good 40% cheaper than a Ghostfret Pro. Not only is the price more tempting, but the Original design can't be beaten over a more modern alike design.

    • @BenSparrey

    • @waynetowers5046
      @waynetowers5046 7 років тому +18

      Personally, it doesn't bother me where they're made, so long as they're top quality. However, I do like originality and as far as I'm concerned, Chapman Guitars are just shapes of other companies', which is disconcerting somewhat. Yes, I get the idea of being inspired by a particular shape, but there's also having originality, too. They're just not original.

    • @SheepHairOG
      @SheepHairOG 7 років тому +14

      Mark Seymour Who said the pickups were inferior anyway? Maybe you'll try them and they'll better fit the tone you're looking for? And you really pick one thing out of the list I gave with a crap reason why it's not good. I know that if I was a gigging musician in a dimly lit venue, I'd find it useful, because, I don't know if you know this, but that's what they're there for. I'd be fine with them not being there because I don't have a use for them, but I know guitarists who wish they had that on their guitar.

    • @JABelms
      @JABelms 7 років тому +21

      +gamer7138 Nobody cares about SDs. If you think that a pickup determines "quality" then that is sad. PRS , Kiesel and Gibsons use their own pickups and they kill in terms of quality, now that Chapman is doing the same thing they are accused of lowering quality (back then the early Chapman guitars were problematic too).

      virtualfi on a old Rob Chapman forum post Rob commented that Chapman Guitar trades in dollars and since the £ has plummeted against the $ it has stripped all profit out of Chapman guitars. so that would explain why the Indonesian guitars are the same price as the Korean made standard range. Maybe if the £ recovers prices will drop but I cannot see it now.
