Thanks so much mate, I am extremely proud of what has been achieved by the team, you guys and I guess myself! I would have never thought it would work out this good - but I am so happy that it did ;-)
Holy shit. That's my trans black ML1.
james farmer Cool :D
Ordering a trans-black ML-1 from Riff City within the next couple days. Taking a big chance since it'll be the first guitar I've ever bought without actually feeling it in my hands let alone playing it first but with all the content on youtube related to this guitar, and the recent factory tour vids you've done, it's a lot of reassurance for a U.S buyer. I mean shit, your company does more QUALITY PR stuff than the bigger brands. You rarely see guitar companies take you into the factory where all the sweat and dirty work takes place. You know what I mean? Plus you're a player, and even though I know you're in this business to make money(let's face it, it's a passion but money is money), you take a lot of pride in your product AND let the public design it. It's a refreshing brand. It's one of the first "No bullshit" guitar brands I've seen in a decade. No gaudy inlays. No gaudy abalone plastered all over the guitar. No licensed floyds(aka pieces of shit), at least you used a proper GOOD vintage style trem instead of a shit modern trem. The list goes on and on.
The ONLY issue I've heard (or maybe it's a rumor, who knows) is that the fretboard turns your fingers black after playing, which leads me to believe it's too heavily stained to cover up the quality of the ebony, but hey...if it's ebony on a $400-500 instrument, you can't really complain huh..although nothing wrong with rosewood either.
Great guitars. I've had a trans-black ML-1 for over a year, it's from the first production run and I can assure you the thing about the fretboard is false. I've never experienced that at all. There's actually very little stain on the wood, it's mostly just the natural colour and it looks awesome, very good quality ebony. I've also got an ML-7 from the first production run, and that hasn't turned my fingers black either. On top of that, I've been to Rob's flat and played all his guitars one by one, and none of them stained my fingers :P
This is one of the best sounding guitars I've heard in a long while. Really open and transparent sounding. The CAP-10 is going to be fucking epic and I can't wait to get hold of my pre-ordered one.
You know, I started following you about 4 or 5 years ago, and I must say, I feel like a proud father watching one of my kids grow up! Not really the same, but you know what i mean. I was like " this guy had loads of talent, lets see where it goes" Well, here we sit 5 years later and I couldn't be happier for you. I love seeing good things happen to good people. And Lee too. I know he's really a business man more than a musician, but he really has done well for himself. Cheers mate!
W120189ML-1 is in my lap right now, and we are getting along swimmingly. Cheers Rob & Lee and those fine Korean guitarsmiths on crafting me a fine instrument. :-D
I love the tone of the single coil bridge and the middle position. Sounds really nice and clear while retaining richness.
That antique sunburst ML-1 looks so sick! Can't even imagine how awesome it would look with a black scratchplate!
BEEN WAITING ALL WEEKEND FOR THIS!!!!!!
That antique sunburst one... I'm gonna have to get me one of those... That's gorgeous.
Yes sir, all of them utilising our very clever wiring and the coil tap ;-)
Thank you for the getting back to me you're awesome man im so excited to get one of them!! =D
Thanks for the update Rob, was waiting for it!
I own a Dean Z 1980 made in USA and recently got the ML-1 (the one from lost 21). Damn, chapman just rekt my dean, cause it has so much more sustain and more harmonics in it. Also, no matter that ml1 is made of mahagony (1 piece btw, what's barely seen on guitars nowdays, even on the gibson's, esp or whatever) it hasn't that fuzzy, buzzy sound on low tunings, it sounds pretty modern. And the price is just unbelievable. I really hope that Chapman guitars would go in masses worldwide.
Good job Rob!
The antique sunburst looks soooo damn awesome with the black headstock!!!!
OMG that antique sunburst ML1 looks amazing!
I was just thinking to myself how much I wanted an ML-1 video... Creepy.. Beautiful guitars sir, doing this nation proud ;-)
The ML-1 with the natural top, and satin black back/sides. That is a SEXY finish!!
Hi. Nice demo Chappers! My trans black ML1 is in transit and, because of the Easter break, is due on Tuesday. I'm hoping it'll be, and sure it will be, worth the wait. I'll post a vid of my unveiling of the guitar and the sounds I get thru my Line6 amp. Can't wait! Thanks Chappers.
I have promised myself that if I can obtain even the most modest guitar playing ability by this time next year I shall treat myself to a trans black ML1 :)
Cant wait for my trans black ml1 its arriving tomorrow thanks Chappers you rock bro !!!!!!
An awesome sounding guitar and looks absolutely stunning in see thru black, just hope I get mine soon!!!
Love Rob's tone in this. A lot. Much more than when he's got his sig tele shape too. There's just something about that ML-1.
That intro is fantastic!
Lewis: Sorry for the slow reply. Thanks for that information -very interesting and useful to know.
those cleans tones are so lovely...
Yes. Putting a wooden block tight between the back of the trem block and the back of the cavity transfers more vibration into the body. It adds sustain and adds a slightly more solid tone if that makes sense. It just needs to be a nice tight fit so that it wedges in there. Try it and see. If you dont like the tone its easily reversed.
By the way Rob, Dorje - Zero live at the bodega wad truly moving excellent song with brilliant vocals, just proves that you don't have to have a guitar in your hand all the time! Keep up the good work :-)
I love the single coils on this, I can't wait to buy one soon
Playings back on it dude! Awesome
haha that 'stinger' transition to Dave was great!
That natural sounds fucking wicked! So glad i ordered that one. It should be here soon cos its in this shipment!
It's very easy! Also, I believe (like most guitars) that these have fret "dots" on the side of the fretboard, that tell you where to go,
my favorite part about this video is that Rob shows us the switches go this way AND that way, lol
Really impressed with my ML-1 Chappers. I'm not going to say its better than this or that, it's just a good guitar man and at a great price. Seriously well done mate. I hope you sell a shit load because it deserves to.
Holy shit Chappers! the cleans are unbelievable.... clean! haha i love it, definitely working to buy a possible ML-3 if its SGesque :)
The magical powers of the legendary antique sunburst ML-1 from Chapman guitars (who make Chapman guitars) can turn Rob into Dave for a split second... Amazing :)
The Silverback Rob Chapman signature amplifier will be available globally from Victory Amplification ;-)
Sounds and looks phenomenal, proper smart guitar!!
Nice to see that you've made yet another stratocaster ...
Dave. Pirate teched his way into the video. Nice.
I personally like the black head stocks. Really cool guitars Rob.
Maybe its just me but seeing that pillow sitting next to him made me want to see that guitar with a full union jack on it, would be an epic limited edition
It does - the push-pull pot changes the way the 3 way works, so you get pretty much all combos, except the middle coil on it's own.
Only 3 days to go... can't wait.
Thursday just can't come quick enough.
I'm anxiously waiting for my antique sunburst!!!! Looks like an 80's wet dream! Lol
same here again. 13 and I want the ML-1 natural. probably getting it this year
Selling my Fender Telecaster FMT to get one of the sexy Antique Burst ML-1s
ALso going to be my first official new guitar. Hella Excited
Yes it was. The ghost fret was released when chapman guitars were still new and unknown. I think they should start making them again.
Rob i swear in every video you play that riff from Majesty haha very beautiful :) keep up the good work \m/
i can't wait to get mine !! LEFT TRANS BLACK FOR THE WIN
I want one soooo bad! With a scalloped fret board!!! Wish list 2013!! Love your vids chappers. Huge fan!!
I also prefer the aesthetic of the non-matching headstock to a matching one. On the ML-2, they need to match, but on this - it works.
i bet you're so proud man!
Elliott I always find your comments on Chappers videos
7:40 and that my friends, is the reason I am SO buying one of these.
It does, check out a video rob did on the switching of the ML1 Reissues. It's not identical to a Strat. Pull-out tone pot and the 3 way switch gives you 6 different switching arrangements
Hi dude, just seen the video -- I have to admit you are right that is my riff, not a lot I can do about it to be honest, the chord changes and the lyrics are completely different I guess this is just what happens in the music industry nowadays...
Got my trans black ML-1, once I set it up it was the nicest guitar I have ever played :D
I'm looking forward to a chapman super-strat (soloist)! That will be a must have!
Very clever indeed!! Great guitars for the price!! Congrats.
It has a push/pull pot. With the pot in it is HSS and with it tapped there are further funky options.
I like the headstock ! I don't care about matching the colours. this guitar is so awesome
the reverse tele headstock is killer!
Nice now I want one even more
I am an occasional fretless bass player and my bass has no frets(obviously!),no fret markers,nothing at all--it's just blank ebony.But it does have strategically placed dots on the side which help. I can very quickly adapt to it after playing a fretted instrument.If I can anybody can,so go for it!
For its price, that thing looks outstanding
I am digging the new headstock revision. Also will there ever be a ML-1 with 2 humbuckers with a fixed bridge with out a middle pickup?
i wish it had 24 frets
Yes there are markers on the side of the board. It isn't as big a problem as you would imagine. You'll get used to it pretty quickly.
Mr. Chapman is not for sale on the website (the photos) Chapman Guitars ML-1 which is a headstock like other guitars ML-1 colors, it is a sale or ....? as if the question is whether there is a sale with a guitar headstock trimmed rather than rounded like on the site?
I think you need to update your website Rob. According to it the ML1-Pro comes with a 3 way selector switch but every video ive seen on youtube shows it as 5 way.
The lick you did at 7:00, I want to know what notes you're playing! Could please do a video where you teach licks that the fans request. That would be awesome!
Suddenly, A wild Dave Appeared!
beautiful guitar
About time! ;)
so keen for one
I watched an interview where purple quoted summertime as the inspiration for Black Knight, so im guessing thats where "the blues magoos" were inspired too.
ever thought of remaking the ghost as a more affordable version with see thru finishes and sunburst that could be a cool idea
ML1 is def my favorite of the bunch
You can have coil tapped humbuckers made, but they're pretty uncommon. You'd add a wire (tap) halfway through winding the first coil, then halfway through winding the second. A split simply adds a wire (or two) between the two coils, but I digress.
Same here! except im 13 but im hoping ill hav enough by summer! good luck
It's called Majesty, It's on Rob's solo album. "Bare Bones".
What a killer guitar!! I love the HSS configuration, because of the versatility. But I do have a question, why is the Pup selector a three way instead of a five way?
Trans black looks so good !!!
I love the guitars Rob! But why the reverse tele stock? It's the only thing holding me back from buying one of these, and the ml-2 doesn't have as nice a body.
Hey Rob, is production of these guitars going to be a limited thing, or are you (to the best of your knowledge) going to just keep churning them out? Because I'd love to buy one but it's not going to be financially possible in the near future, I was just wondering if someday I'd still be able to buy a Chapman guitar.
The sunburst colour looks classy as! Will you ever put scratch plates on the ML-1,2,3?
That would be EPIC!!!!
awesome sound as always... :P
rob I have a question about selling Chapman guitars in your online store, and the question of what, if there is available sale Chapman ml-1 trans black (in black, because the site only with another headstock) stripped down golvka fingerboard with a new headstock (both on guitar 2:20 minutes).???
liking the dave switch
awesome indeed

While I was on tour and taking care of some other important business ML-7 was on hold.
I am now back and ready to go - spoke to Keith a few days ago on email and we will be kicking it all off agin very soon ;-)
ML-7 here we come \m/
How soon will a demo of the ML-3 be online? Very soon? Somewhat soon? Not soon? Not very soon at all? Tomorrow?
Makes sense. My advice to you, towels are a thing....also socks. Some people say their palms sweat when barefoot for some reason.
Hey Chappers! ML-1's look amazing good job. Have a question though. Are these made in the same factory as Cort guitars?
i would love to own a Chapman, they look awesome they sound awesome they look so comfortable to play! i live in Australia, how would i go about acquiring one of these machines?
Greetings Rob! I was just wondering how the bass-project is going?? I would love a Chappers bass guitar! Love your channel man! :DD
I was concerned about that too but tbh its not been a problem. The dots on the edge of the board are still there to guide you. There wasn't really a learning curve at all.
