The tones in this video have been some of the best I've seen Rob have.
An ML-1 with 2 P90s would be absolutely stunning ;)
That "Accident" Looked really nice in my opinion. The headstock looked really cool and unique, i would consider buying one of those (if i had money :P )
i have an old Japanese company "custom" sg that i love. i've never put those desprictions to it, but the whole thing is walnut and everything youre saying is totally relevant. it feels good to see people using walnut on purpose!!
Man, this sounds SICK!! A Walnut ML-1, never thought it'd sound like this. I always pictured it to be much darker, but this is perfect!
By far the best sounding ML-1 I've seen you review!
That's a nice looking piece of walnut right there.
NICE! I see that Chapman Guitars will be receiving more and more of my money to build the collection! See you in Minnesota! Hope to meet you! Safe travels!
I definitely hear a difference. I wouldn't say a tighter low end. I think your description is more accurate using the term creamy low end. For all the people who say woods don't make a difference in tone, you're crazy! It absolutely does! Sounds awesome Rob!
I'm liking the sound of walnut! Very clean, with just a touch of snarl...
That headstock is just so cool. It fits the strat style body so well. Plus reverse headstock string tension is better and stuff.
The headstock matching the neck..looks awesome!!
I LOVE the maple angled headstock! It really looked awesome! I think you should keep it that way! hope you do an alder Ml-1 w/24 frets w compound rad. Just putting that in the hat! Love your products, and what you're doing is brilliant! You got the average guy's back in this whole gear quality vs price thing, really appreciate it! Boom!
Beautiful guitar, great great job !
The room of my dreams by the way!
That ML1 prototype with the none matching headstock looks increadable! I much prefare that to the black headstock! It reminds me of a washburn N4
I love the headstock on that prototype ML-1!
That had to be one MASSIVE walnut!
I love the headstock colour on that super secret prototype ml1 !! Makes it look more professional and classy in my opinion ;p
I just bought an ML1-Pro that has a Walnut top and black back - I guess they did decide to do more. AMAZING guitar, the pickups are such a great combination.
'OOOH FIRST!' ..... Like it matters. *Rolls eyes* Fab guitar Rob - really love to get one! How about doing a burled one - maybe walnut natural burl... Would defo get one of them in ML1! Oh - And happy Birthday for while u r away!
That there is one fantastic guitar/amp/player combination.
Extremely impressed. That guitar should by all rights be selling for way more than £400. Absolute bargain.
Now, do I have enough money for a Silverback?
Colin!!! I love your videos :D
Good to hear Adam, lots more coming soon. I promise.
Hey Colin!! Good to see you here, man!!
didnt expect to see you here Colin!
+CSGuitars ALL THE GAIN!!! SLAYER!!! \m/
Nice looking and sounding guitar. Also, Nat has excellent camera skills.
Love the natural head stock on the mahogany one...
I own this guitar yet with the set neck of the start of Chapman guitars. Getting it in Australia was luck brand new and really still love it. Still has the 3 Seymour Duncan rail neck 59 jnr mid and 4 pounder in bridge. Still love it very much it will be staying as permanent. As a veteran pensioner it’s hard to get savings up for an updated amp. Cab and head ..
I own an ML-1 with a particular grain. It is satin finish mahogany, but you can see the variations on the wood more than in any other model I've tried. I changed the push-pull to a push-push, much smoother, and the grovers, which I found a bit wide, to Duesenbergs Z tuners, easy and precise. The Guitarnivore just sounds amazing and the single-coils are very stratty. The neck pu in single position hums quite a bit, but it's a single coil... Great guitar with beautiful aesthetics. I personnally like the black back & sides. The ML-1 is one of my favourite guitars. A definite keeper. Rock on Chappers ! \m/
They are both nice looking guitars but that walnut!! It's beautiful! I'd love to have a hard tail sting through like that! Beautiful.
the silverback sounds beautiful Rob.
Looks like another Great guitar Rob!
wow ! and remember it was through a camera mic ladies and gents !!! great tone as usual rob love it. if i could humbily ask if u could do a video on a guitar set up, with u showing us would be a dream since u always have such a great set up dude ! if not thank you for the video amd take care ! luv from canada
This is actually my favourite sounding ML-1
"Special edition tree wood". Good to know that you're getting your wood from trees Rob xD
my favourite guitars are the ones made from tree wood
i NEED this guitar...walnut sound awesome!
A reissue/rerun of upgraded ML-1s in a year or so would be very cool.
Angled headstock, other new details maybe.
Hell yeah man ml 1 walnut body upgraded pickups and electronics and hard case. That'd be awesome!
if I had the money id buy this guitar as soon as possible! It sounds and looks great!
Very very very very nice sounding :D
Another awesome guitar rob!
Looks like a Hayden Classic Lead 80 in the background in which case I am stoked to see that review!
Naked series of Chapman Guitars are looking good too
Apologies, I posted the comment then Rob went on to explain what it was... D'oh
Rob has proven that his "ears" are good at spotting even the smallest differences.
Hey Rob..just ran across this video I absolutely love the black sides and back..really want one..any chance of doing black sides and back again..I think it helps to set aside Chapman Guitars from any other model out..kinda like ur trademark..Rock on Rob
Looks lovely, just send me the bloody thing will you! Enjoy your trip Rob ;-)
Looks beautiful
The black back kills it.
The maple headstock looks sharp
Rob you always inspire me to pick up my guitar even on quick demos like this in the hope I'll be one tenth as good as you, unfortunately I'm in France climbing and my guitar is back home in Blighty! Perhaps I can find some understanding music shop nearby?
this guiars are really good i own one and its absolutely fantastic
Benefit of the walnut guitar? You don't have to cut down the rainforest to have a guitar.
I'd love to see more domestic hardwood guitars. :) They sound beautiful.
Technically it'd have to have a domestic hardwood fretboard for it to be rainforest free.
Awesome gainy tone. I reckon you should do more Camera Mic Only videos. I think they sound real-er. =)
love the TesseracT shirt!
A light rub down and several coats of tru oil and that walnut would look incredible
lol @ the way you said '...and the majority of the viewers will agree.' Very effective way to silence the tone deaf minority ! Keep it up Chappers. Always liked walnut trees. First they give you great food and then an excellent wood for shredding tools.
What is the nut material? It seems to stay in tune extremely well....
It has a very pleasant tone; I get your creamy reference. How is it for fretboards? I'm getting ready to purchase a Dean Edge 1 6 VM (6- string bass, mahogany body), and it has a walnut fretboard. Problem is, the model is so new that nobody has posted a demo video yet.
I much prefer the maple coloured headstock!!!! PLEASE consider doing that more in the future!
Hot holy damn I actually really like the matching headstock to the neck. Looks fucking killer
love it!
Rob I do believe you should totally do a Phil X signature guitar! Just an idea!
Rob, I think its brilliant that you're using other woods than just maple and mahogany (which is a bit dodgy as some species have a rather worrying conservation status). I wonder, are you going to experiment with any British hardwoods? Like (since we're going by botanical names) Fagus sylvatica or Prunus avium? I would suggest some type of Oak, but that would probably be really heavy.
I like that headstock
I have the walnut Ml-1 Pro which I love. Mine has the through neck and black back and 3mm walnut top black hipshot tremolo. Does it make it a limited edition with the Seymour Duncan pickups.
Are you going to be at Riff City during the day on saturday the 14th?
How can you be doing away with the blackback? That's as unique to Chapman guitar as the infinity logo. That's actually what made me want to get one in the first place, especially on the swamp ash model. The body was like the negative image of the neck.
Would like to see one with Inlays
Chappers, any chance of an ML-1 with a neck humbucker? The only thing holding me back..
Rob can you do a comparison between the ml1 walnut and ml1 mahogany if you still have both those guitars, and if the only difference is body wood? Thanks.
how long will they be in? i cant get the money until a month or a month and a half and id feel ashamed to miss this.
Damn this sounds good. But then again that amp is pretty bad ass too
Are you guys ever going to do a hardtail ml-1?
There's nothing in the pipeline for this, but you can block off the tremelo in an ML1, which effectively gives you a non trem guitar.
apologies if its a stupid question but what difference does an angled headstock make? is it to reduce string buzz above the nut? cheers
Are the ML-1 pro's limited edition or something? Everytime I try and find one at Andertons they are not available - website says theres no ETA for this product - and when there are some coming (In very small numbers) in there all reserved :( I REALLY WANT ONE!!!
if I'm looking into buying an ML1 for fusion/shred use, do you recommend a walnut body or mahogany body like the others?
Just a slight shame that all the matt black is disappearing from the guitars but that Walnut looks sooo sweet!
Wait, Rob wearing a TesseracT-shirt? Are you a fan? They're Great with a capitol G :]
When are we going to see a Orange Dual Dark Review?
What is the name of the trem on this guitar? I have the exact same or very very similar on my Godin Progression. Its barely mentioned in its description but its great that its there. Its not flimsy at all. Does it stay in tune though? I'm not aggressive enough of a player to tell
Are you making any of these soon?
HeY Rob, I'm from South America, Chile, is there any way I can get an ML-1?
I hope the ML-2 gets some more love soon. It seems a tad neglected IMO. I'm waiting to see how the new ML-3's turn out before I decide on which to buy. I like the ML-1 but I'm not a fan of the HSS configuration
Is the dual dark review up anywhere yet?
Rob, could you tell me how does walnut compare to ash...??
walnut is great wood for guitars. I wonder why it's neglected - maybe it's not so common in USA. Traditional sting instruments have been made of walnut in almost any culture for ages.
gibson used walnut in the late 70's sometimes for the "the paul" and "les paul firebrand" models. these were kind of affordable guitars, but known to sound awesome.
they were called the "ibanez killers".
walnut is a great wood, as you say.
I always wondered the same thing. Theres tons of black walnut(which is BEAUTIFUL wood) and you typically find it on a things such as gun stocks for hunting rifles, etc...a lot of american made firearms use it. I would of loved to grab up one of these walnut ML1s but alas I was late to the party and they were gone quicker than shit.
): that guitar really sound great!! and looks almost the same with the old guthrie govan suhr signature. I really want a Chapman guitar but im of El Salvador :(
Shame about the black back thing, I really, really liked it. I find it much classier than a completely unfinished guitar.<
Edit: a rosewood fretboard would look great on this! :D
Been in the gym? Gunna look like Petrucci in no time! :)
Please make these a production model!
Chap, which Faith acoustic do you own? I've seen them and they have insane quality for the budget...
How much does this baby weigh? Highly considering an ML-1 but I'm not a big fan of overly-heavy guitars!
nats voice sounds alluring behind a camera
Ahhh want one
what scales do you normalling use when your soloing?
Is that pedalboard in front of your amp the pedalboard you made with The Captain ?
Is that a new pedalboard I see at 9:05? ;)
just FYI, a coil TAP is only on single coil pickups, what you have there is a coil SPLIT
I need a new guitar max of £350 from Andertons, any recommendations?
Is it just me or does that thing sustain for days?
I live for heated Cakes
Have fun in Minnesota ehh
You need to do a semi hollow cap 10 run say 1 of 1 and ill demo it and buy it.
It would be a bit tasty as well as oven heated cake loaf.
Woah 7:36 sounded really nice! What scale is it?
please bring back the black back and sides
I need a replacement trem for my swamp ash ML1 :)
will you still be doing black back maple wood ml1s? or is the black back biting the dust entirely.
The old black back's are going forever - if you own one then it will be a piece of history :-)
