from 13:32 is something that always melt my heart and shows your true soul on guitar. Hajrá Bea, Hajrá Toska! And also Chapman guitars, this one is great as well.
as always: lovely playing such an excellent looking and sounding guitar. At this point I think you may be the single best part of marketing for Chapman :) I'm a freaking bass player (though I own and play some of our 6 string friends) and I now have your signature models sitting in a wishlist so that I can constantly revisit and have the opportunity to stress buy a phenomenally made instrument.
I ordered one and upon delivery can only say I was pretty underwhelmed. The bright red finish as in the above video is a much less vibrant colour in reality. It's a lot more orange than bright vibrant red, from some angles almost looks brown. The paint finish inside the cutaways for the pickup was a bit rough. The bridge didn't sit perfectly centred within the cutaway and there was a tiny blemish on the black finish on the bridge where the silver metal was visible. I boxed it straight back up and organised a return. Can't comment on how it played. I didn't want to risk marking it incase that affected my ability to return it. It's a Pro model guitar costing over £800. I expected a bit better. I have a PRS SE Custom 24, also £800 guitar. The finish is flawless on that by comparison. Ironically they both come from exactly the same factory. Either way. If you're drawn to the looks based on this video you may well be disappointed with what the courier brings.
That is a nice lookin axe! Chapman have really stepped it up in recent years. They have always been cool value for the money but now you guys have been really making them nice. That roasted maple and flame top are sweet! Plus I always dug the backwards Tele(esque) headstock shape.
Marvelous guitar! Hats off to Chapman and Rabea for demoing this beast. Wish if we had a single cut design (round edged like les paul) with all these modern aesthetics
That's a banger of an instrument. The pick ups are killer. I've been wanting to hear the pearly gates through high gain. And the single coils are some of the best I've ever heard.
Super interesting guitar. Love the Color. Actually, both Colors are great. Love the sound of every pick ups. Like you were saying, very versatile guitar. And you can get a lot of different sound on the same guitar, that is quite good. Thanks for showing.
When I read hybrid I thought of a blendable piezo bridge. That would make it really versitile for any given situation on stage. Bit still a stunning guitar. I have a ML1 from the first ones at Thomann. Love Chapmann guitars! And love your playing too!!! Cheers from Munich.
Wow, I didn't expect such a clear and characteristic sound from the Pro. I'm deeply impressed. Most of 'em can do hi gain and shred stuff, but the clean tone relly got me. "Hybrid" rally seems to nail it here. I think I know which guitar I'm getting next...
You have this interesting thing about your playing that always makes me feel all tingly inside. It's this mixolydian-y thing or something, I dunno I can't quite describe it. How you can be playing some phrygian stuff or ripping on some pentatonic lick and then it goes into this Smashing Pumpkins-esque type of deal, very major-y but with this interesting flavor and twist. Obviously I'm not versed in music theory lol, but I love it.
2020 Chapman’s look 🔥. That black ML3 immediately jumped out at me, but now there’s the silver one too...getting them to the states can’t happen soon enough.
Love it, amazing alternative to the suhr and fender ultra ‘super strat’ style.... Buuuuut! I’d like some more conventional colour options! If it just came in black aswell would be much more appealing, the 2 finishes are a bit too ‘out there’ for my tastes! If it had 1 or 2 standard colours or a natural finish, at that price it would blow the suhr’s and fender ultras out the water! Loving the variety of clean tones you can’t get on it!
I am excited about their use of their increased use of branded pickups. The signature pickups always put me off a ghost fret but this very well might change my mind.
Totally agree. £800 for a guitar Chapman-branded pickups? I have an ML3 Pro Traditional, swapping out the pickups made a massive difference. The Chapman pickups just aren't as good, no matter what the company may have tried to make out.
This looks great! Lets be honest here for a moment... You could make a cigarbox guitar playing through a pig nose amp sound amazing Bea!! Honestly, I would really like to see a left handed ML3BEA PRO for me to BUY!! And a Baritone Lefty!!! Where are the Lefties Rob promised us? lol!
That's a Sung - iL BS-108 tremolo. That brand makes parts for them to sell directly and also other brands buy them and use them on their products. They are kind of mid to low end quality. They're not utter crap for sure.
I do plan to buy this guitar, does it include some Rabea "Mojo"? Fucking legend, one of my guitar hero's! Always great tones and great musicality expression.
Do you think sometime you could re audition ML3 Pro Traditional semi hollow ?. I am waiting for another semi hollow body design by Chapman. Your playing is great.
Love this guitar. Are you playing the Phoenix Red (that's what I'm guessing) or the Cali Sunset and can you advise on looks? I love a lot of the colours available (Cali, Phoenix and Purple) but ofc I've only seen them in pics (no dealers around here that have any of these in stock), which look best IRL?
Just love the sound of those pickups. Just what i wanted but not in that color. Please do some more color options and especially in white and im home. And please do a regular headstock not a reverse one. Then with those pickups and right color and classic headstock you have a real competitor at that price and specs to the Fender strat. Then i pick that/yours over the Fender. With those pickups and specs you are almost there, just so close and with these changes you are the winner.
I picked up a Chapman at guitar guitar .. I was shocked at the weight of the thing .. do they have concrete in them ? I’ve never felt a guitar so heavy. This looks and sounds great .. but I suspect you could make a Squire sound great.
Beautiful guitar But if they don't make any lefties. Then it does me no good.... I hope they do make lefties in this model. Because I'd sure love to play one.
Fun fact: about 13 hours ago, I thought to myself: "Why not go for double Classic Stack Plus?" for the middle and neck of my Strat. Pearly Gates was already 99 % Sure. So erm... (It's an Ashstrat).
Ну что, кто-то ещё, до сих пор не понял, что абсолютно пох$й на модель гитары, а просто надо уметь играть (ну, и правильная звукозапись рулит)... A Rabea, во всех смыслах - гений! Well, someone else still has not realized that the guitar model is absolutely not important, but just need to be able to play (and the correct sound recording rules too:)... Rabea, in every sense - a genius!
Why doesn't the Pro line come with Chapman cases!? Damn... at this level and price point, comparably... a case should be automatic.... like the old proline.
Everytime I convince myself that I don't need a new guitar, Rabea comes along and whispers in my ear "are you sure?"
they're lucky to have you
Absolutely. I wouldn't even think about touching a chapman guitar if Rabea weren't involved. Rob has really disappointed me.
@@TheGuitarifier and why?

as always: lovely playing

Bro... Your sounds are so dang big. Never stop being you, man!
Awesome as always, Bea. And I was wearing that shirt yesterday. Keep up the filthy playing and the positive vibes.
Wow, that was a great demo,. Lovely playing and Thanks for all the different genres you touched on.
That was just awesome! Your phrases are sublime.

Awesome Rabea! I'm expecting my ML3 Bea this evening via UPS. I'm beyond excited.
Goddamn! Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing! What a touch!
Description: "This guitar player like butter!"
You're not wrong I guess
these fingers are so powerfull.. great to be hear you man!
I like when you noodle. Everything sounds alive with soul and energy.
Marvelous guitar! Hats off to Chapman and Rabea for demoing this beast. Wish if we had a single cut design (round edged like les paul) with all these modern aesthetics
That jam from 14:25 to 16:10 was the coolest jam I've heard from you and in general in a long time
Simple, versatile and sounds amazing! Congratulations :D
I have this guitar an it is amazing. The quality, the sound, the look. Just a great guitar. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent playing as always no matter what guitar is in your hands. Chapman really digs the reverse Tele headstock, looks cool.
00:00 : If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
looks & sounds wicked love the pearly gates hummm!
Tasty playing as always dude!
Beautiful, when I buy a Chapman, it will be this one😍
That's a banger of an instrument. The pick ups are killer. I've been wanting to hear the pearly gates through high gain. And the single coils are some of the best I've ever heard.
The middle one, just blown away. Generally they are “meh” sounding, but this one is beautiful sounding!
Super interesting guitar. Love the Color. Actually, both Colors are great. Love the sound of every pick ups. Like you were saying, very versatile guitar. And you can get a lot of different sound on the same guitar, that is quite good. Thanks for showing.
Man, the way that guitar matches your t-shirt pattern on the upper horn :) that was destiny!
I want that guitar. And yo that room looks sick!
Awesome !!!!! Always hope can have chapman guitar one day , ..
Can’t wait to see your demonstration of the new Traditional ML-3 Pro in Sunburst 👀 👀 👀
I bet if Rabea used an elastic band and a shoebox he’d still sound amazing. I could listen to this guy’s noodles all day .
16:20 that lick .... cool
well i pre order it! cant wait to receive it!
When I read hybrid I thought of a blendable piezo bridge. That would make it really versitile for any given situation on stage. Bit still a stunning guitar. I have a ML1 from the first ones at Thomann. Love Chapmann guitars! And love your playing too!!! Cheers from Munich.
Beautiful AXE - love the overall look awesome headstock - can't go wrong with a Chapman every guitarist should have one.

Great Demo! Love the tones as always. When are you doing tour ML3 Bea Pro???? I want to see a deep dive on your channel showing that bad boy off!
Hiya, you should do a video about interesting chords you like to use. Some really nice ones on this vid...
The first few notes on this video reminded me of Sting - "Fragile"
🎶If blood would flow ...🎶 😂
Holy Smokes!!!.. I just bought a Kotzen Strat!!.. and it does sound fantastic!! .. but the hybrid also sounds great!! ..
Hi Rabea! That could be some awesome guitar....must have....
2020 Chapman’s look 🔥. That black ML3 immediately jumped out at me, but now there’s the silver one too...getting them to the states can’t happen soon enough.
Love it, amazing alternative to the suhr and fender ultra ‘super strat’ style....

I think it would be real nice if every guitar (with a showy type wood top at least) came in a natural color option
New shreddy lick at work around 16:20! Yeah!
I must have this guitar!!!
Goodyear price!
That is a wicked beast.
Cant go wrong with a Pearly Gates HB paired with Hot and Classic Stacks!
Great playing as always! Did I hear a Rob Chapman riff in that intro? 😉
Would love a lefty version of this 🤘
Same here
I am excited about their use of their increased use of branded pickups. The signature pickups always put me off a ghost fret but this very well might change my mind.
Totally agree. £800 for a guitar Chapman-branded pickups? I have an ML3 Pro Traditional, swapping out the pickups made a massive difference. The Chapman pickups just aren't as good, no matter what the company may have tried to make out.
Wow, that would be perfect for me! What was the body wood? It looks amazing, and sounds fantastic!
iam actually planning to get one for myself from the offical canadian retailer here (iam in canada) and its the PHOENIX RAIN which is just beautiful
What a player
It sure sounds fantastic in this video, so I stand corrected.
Hi Rabea, which Effects are you using from your Pedal Board to get that saturated fat and beautiful clean tone?
When does this come out? It looks fucking amazing!
que Delay y Revb ocupas bro suena genial.
I want something like this in sss configuration.
This looks great! Lets be honest here for a moment... You could make a cigarbox guitar playing through a pig nose amp sound amazing Bea!!
Honestly, I would really like to see a left handed ML3BEA PRO for me to BUY!! And a Baritone Lefty!!! Where are the Lefties Rob promised us? lol!

I do plan to buy this guitar, does it include some Rabea "Mojo"? Fucking legend, one of my guitar hero's! Always great tones and great musicality expression.
I believe this is a must have!! Do chapman sell the cases or gig bags separately?? Because there is no mention of them anywhere
hi one question, i bought ml1 pro hybrid, is there any tremolo on the market that can fit this guitar
How's the tuning stability??. Does it stay in tune?!
What are the chords from 5:38-5:41? Sounds beautiful!
Do you think sometime you could re audition ML3 Pro Traditional semi hollow ?. I am waiting for another semi hollow body design by Chapman. Your playing is great.
I agree its a versatile guitar, better than alder eh?
Nice guitar!
Nice dime squeals :D
what a nice guitar
I spy with my little eye a blue quilted top guitar among your standard model ml3s ... what might that be ?!
Love this guitar. Are you playing the Phoenix Red (that's what I'm guessing) or the Cali Sunset and can you advise on looks? I love a lot of the colours available (Cali, Phoenix and Purple) but ofc I've only seen them in pics (no dealers around here that have any of these in stock), which look best IRL?
He playing the ML1 Pro Hybrid in Phoenix Red. The Cali Sunset is for the standard ML1
As usual, just here to hear Bea
Just love the sound of those pickups. Just what i wanted but not in that color. Please do some more color options and especially in white and im home. And please do a regular headstock not a reverse one. Then with those pickups and right color and classic headstock you have a real competitor at that price and specs to the Fender strat. Then i pick that/yours over the Fender. With those pickups and specs you are almost there, just so close and with these changes you are the winner.
Finally the real ML1 is come back !!
That was the best guitar from Chapman imo.
"Its Art - Tone Framed in Neck & a Heavenly Body".
I picked up a Chapman at guitar guitar .. I was shocked at the weight of the thing .. do they have concrete in them ? I’ve never felt a guitar so heavy. This looks and sounds great .. but I suspect you could make a Squire sound great.
Damn. For that price I wish I wouldn't have just built an Ibanez RG...
Beautiful guitar
But if they don't make any lefties.
Then it does me no good....
I hope they do make lefties in this model. Because I'd sure love to play one.
Noiseee......
👍👍
Really like the concept, but a good old JB in the bridge would do the trick forever, have enough power to chug and softer stuff
Daaaaaamn, i really can't watch those videos. I'm saving money for a set of wheels for my car, but after watching this one....
Gimme!
It's weird you didn't put the SD Custom '59 Hybrid in the bridge, given the name. That would have made the guitar even more versatile
Fun fact: about 13 hours ago, I thought to myself: "Why not go for double Classic Stack Plus?" for the middle and neck of my Strat. Pearly Gates was already 99 % Sure. So erm... (It's an Ashstrat).
Ну что, кто-то ещё, до сих пор не понял, что абсолютно пох$й на модель гитары, а просто надо уметь играть (ну, и правильная звукозапись рулит)... A Rabea, во всех смыслах - гений!
Well, someone else still has not realized that the guitar model is absolutely not important, but just need to be able to play (and the correct sound recording rules too:)... Rabea, in every sense - a genius!
Opening sounded like a blend of Coheed & Cambria, and John Mayer.
+ Sting
09:00 shades of EVH!
why it looks like you don't like it?
Why doesn't the Pro line come with Chapman cases!? Damn... at this level and price point, comparably... a case should be automatic.... like the old proline.
still hope Chapman Guitars
has Floyd Rose on ML3 model :(
Why only 22 frets? 🤯
P/up spacing and tone out of the neck pup. 24 would destroy that strat Tone.🤐
Man, you bring the sunfuckingshine.
Make a lefty Version and take my money :D
Well... It's an ibanez AZ
Here before a thousand
love the guitar! But to be honest, with your playing you could sell a turd to a pro easily xD
Cheers!
