Huge step up in quality the last 12 months. Those basses are stunning you, Dave and the Chapman crew deserve massive respect. A good quality import bass from Korea without the stainless steel frets and the wood your using is easily 1000-1400 so those basses are a steal!
Rob, you just made two decisions that will take your guitar brand to the next level..Those decisions are: lefty models and bass models. I see Chapman being the next ESP/LTD.
Matthew Seebach I don't mind variety in models, but I hate the pages upon pages of guitars they have on their website. Nothing against ESP, I love their guitars, but I dreaded trying to decide which one I wanted because of the stupid amount of guitars. I really like how Chapman has arranged their lineup. Its simple but has tons of variety. ESP has a little too much variety and not enough simplicity, at least when I look at the website.
Jake Sturtevant I can understand that. But in all honesty it’s pretty simple. You’ve got your different Models Series (EC, MH, M, etc) and different levels of each model for example EC-50 is more of a beginner and cheaper model and the EC-1000s are higher end and more expensive. It’s a simple concept really.
Nice Chappers. Today i was at Thomann and for the first time got my hands on some Chapman Guitars. They feel absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work!
I love how the press says that guitar is dead and yet the entire guitar world online is all NAMM, NAMM, NAMM, NAMM, NAMM!!! Just because guitar is dying on the radio and MTV doesn't mean Sh*t!!! No one listens to BS radio or watches MTV anyways. No one that matters that is. LOVE YOU GUYS!! Happy new year, it's gonna be a great one!!!
love the lineup of the Chapman guitars. you guys are doing an awesome job with every single fiddle. keep up the great work cant wait to get my hands on one of those beaut"s .
They look amazing. !!!! Wish I was there. A Chapman guitar is my next purchase. I am so happy for your success and thank you for mak8ng ameso.e guitars!!!
Chapman guitars now sold at Guitar Center. Way to go Rob! This deal with GC will probably totally change your life. You just became a millionaire! I remember the Rob with the blue PRS and an Orange amp filming crappy quality lesson videos on youtube. Hats off Sir!
I had to watch this. Because I couldn’t even get close to the Chapman stand today at NAMM! Not a bad position to be in but for a small but growing guitar producer!
The pointy 7s aren't on the rack, by deduction they should be under the red cloth. edit : Actually there are two ghost fret 7s in black and "unicorn burst" on the rack. Where did the 7-string V go?
Noice! Rob you've made 3 great brand extension choices here: left handers, fan frets and basses, while the muppets are Fender are playing pick n mix with what they had lying around. I salute you and your bold strategy.
Hope you pick up some new dealers in the USA besides our good friends at Riff City Guitar ....I bought my nephew a Chapman Guitar in November....Looking forward to a great 2018 for you Chappers...
Yo Rob, a bit off topic; a while back you mentioned that you did sesion work for Yngwie. May i ask what you did for him? Could you maybe do a video about this/other sesion work? Would be cool! Cheers!
What's new? The hipster hair-do, Rob, that's what's new! I think the Chapman guitars keep getting better and better. I've tried a handful and they seem consistently good. I just need to decide which one is going to plug my 'gap' in guitar styles. I always get drawn to the classic shapes, so maybe it's time for something a bit more radical.
If the ML-1 Pro Modern had that flame top of the 7-string, I wouldn't be so hesistant to buy :-D Those basses look insane btw. Unreal. Absolutely love it.
Damn Im loving the Lefties!! Now Ill just have to wait till they add one more string to the lefty models and when Rob Chapman does it I'd take it in a heartbeat
Waited a year to be super bummed about the color of the ML1 Lefty... Would preorder and happily wait for a sun colored one today if it were possible. Everything else looks great. Congrats on the new British range.
Mega quick video sorry for rushing, doors were about to open, lots of high end video content coming from us all soon - love you guys, chappers out
Rob Chapman how much are the 7 strings going to be in American moneys
It's a Chapman hollow body... Or at least semi hollow
Who is Sophie?
All the best rob
Awesome work Rob and team
HYPE!11!!!!
Agufish yassssssssssss
Can't wait for your video man!
When will the video Of namm come out and did you try ml1 b
HYPE!!!!1111 at the 3:55
I want a 7 string norseman
I did never think that unicorn fade on the 7 strings will look that amazing!
man the finish on Dave's bass is truly amazing! love the look of the booth :)
Unicorn fade is now my favourite finish
Rob I appreciate you making more lefty models. I will definitely support this company now that they back us 100%.
As a proud Norseman owner, I'm really exited for the "facelifted" model!
always love Rob vids, he is such a pleasant, positive guy
Cheers
That unicorn finish is sooo good looking 😍 absolutely love the ghost fret too
Starting to get Ibanez-esque model names.
That means you need to read the names as one word, instead of as individual letters.
Chappers you deserve some Love from the left handed!
Mindfreak248 When I want some love from my lefthand I just on it for a while and pretend it someone else
My next guitar will be a Chapman. These are stunning Rob.
That Norseman must be the bane of charvel and Jackson’s existence, looks so nice well done!
congrats to a awesome display of awesome axes from chapman guitars!

Rob, you just made two decisions that will take your guitar brand to the next level..Those decisions are: lefty models and bass models. I see Chapman being the next ESP/LTD.
I agree, but hopefully their lineup won't be as full. I hate how many different versions of the same guitar ESP/LTD has
Jake Sturtevant Why? It provides variety and also cheaper models if you can’t afford the more expensive ones
Matthew Seebach I don't mind variety in models, but I hate the pages upon pages of guitars they have on their website. Nothing against ESP, I love their guitars, but I dreaded trying to decide which one I wanted because of the stupid amount of guitars. I really like how Chapman has arranged their lineup. Its simple but has tons of variety. ESP has a little too much variety and not enough simplicity, at least when I look at the website.
They just need a traditional left hander, I'm not interested in the V, ghost fret and ml1 modern
Jake Sturtevant I can understand that. But in all honesty it’s pretty simple. You’ve got your different Models Series (EC, MH, M, etc) and different levels of each model for example EC-50 is more of a beginner and cheaper model and the EC-1000s are higher end and more expensive. It’s a simple concept really.
That 7 string is absolutely gorgeous in the unicorn burst. What a banger! I'm so proud to have voted for that beaut!
Got to say loving the new finish on those guitars Chapman are really smashing it out of the park
The finish on Dave's bass is the only guitar finish I've seen recently that even comes close to my kiesel! Stunning!
Nice Chappers. Today i was at Thomann and for the first time got my hands on some Chapman Guitars. They feel absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work!
Such great guitars!
I’m in love with it
That quicksand finish is pretty sweet!
Good luck Rob, i dont think you will have a problem with your instruments, the world is now ready for Chapman Awsomenes
Chappers... I love you man. You are the man.
Anthony DeVito The man works HARD and deserves success.
That "Unicorn Burst" is something truly astonishing, I love it!
It's so awesome to your company grow chappers, I'm so proud of you man. I'm definitely going to buy one of your guitars this summer
that quicksand finish gave me chills! beautiful! love it!
So fucking proud to see this.. congrats on all the success you guys are having!
Yes!!! Finally!!! The leftys are here!!! Ive been waiting for about 2 years now for the ghost fret Im ordering it as soon as i can!!
I love how the press says that guitar is dead and yet the entire guitar world online is all NAMM, NAMM, NAMM, NAMM, NAMM!!! Just because guitar is dying on the radio and MTV doesn't mean Sh*t!!! No one listens to BS radio or watches MTV anyways. No one that matters that is. LOVE YOU GUYS!! Happy new year, it's gonna be a great one!!!
love the lineup of the Chapman guitars. you guys are doing an awesome job with every single fiddle. keep up the great work cant wait to get my hands on one of those beaut"s .
Absolute quality Chappers! Loving the new stuff!
They look amazing. !!!! Wish I was there. A Chapman guitar is my next purchase. I am so happy for your success and thank you for mak8ng ameso.e guitars!!!
Jet lagged but still excited, love it ... Hope it all goes well for all the Chapman team!
That quicksand finish is lovely
😍😍😍😍dreams really do come true! Lefty ghost fret!!!!! SOLD! Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Chapman guitars now sold at Guitar Center. Way to go Rob! This deal with GC will probably totally change your life. You just became a millionaire! I remember the Rob with the blue PRS and an Orange amp filming crappy quality lesson videos on youtube. Hats off Sir!
Lefty’s look stunning. As do the Norsrmans. Excited for the extend edition video!
I am loving the look of those Rob Scallon guitars. Love the headstock. Nice work, Chappers. Booth looks great.
I had to watch this. Because I couldn’t even get close to the Chapman stand today at NAMM!
Not a bad position to be in but for a small but growing guitar producer!
That white norseman and cap10 white are beautiful omg ... i need one right now!
So many guitars to save up for this year! Unicorn 7-string looks really cool!
So happy for you and all your success!! I'm a little jealous too!!
such excite! so happy to see the revised Cap10!
So happy for you guys!
Great New line of basses and guitars Chappers,especially the new British line of guitars! Thanks
I will be buying the 7 string ML1 pro AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I'M SO EXCITED
You have my southpaw like man! Always loved your work!
Thank you so much for all the amazing content Rob!
Nice burst colors! I’m digging the satin finishes!
Oh man, the bass skin is so siiiiccckk! I want it also for guitar
Is the 7 string ghostfret there?? And also, somebody in the comments predicted the future, chapman guitars will produce toy dinasours......
Tomer Avira there purple ghost fret is 7 string and it's there
The pointy 7s aren't on the rack, by deduction they should be under the red cloth. edit : Actually there are two ghost fret 7s in black and "unicorn burst" on the rack. Where did the 7-string V go?
Umm I don't remember there being a 7 string V. The voting had Ghost Fret and an ML1 as final results
You are right though. My memory was severely deficient, for some reason I was sure that the 7 strings were the pointy designs.
So excited for the 5 string basses
I am going to pre-order it as soon as that becomes a thing.
Noice! Rob you've made 3 great brand extension choices here: left handers, fan frets and basses, while the muppets are Fender are playing pick n mix with what they had lying around. I salute you and your bold strategy.
Hope you pick up some new dealers in the USA besides our good friends at Riff City Guitar ....I bought my nephew a Chapman Guitar in November....Looking forward to a great 2018 for you Chappers...
Yo Rob, a bit off topic; a while back you mentioned that you did sesion work for Yngwie. May i ask what you did for him? Could you maybe do a video about this/other sesion work? Would be cool! Cheers!
jan de man if I remember it was Tabbing out and making a lesson of his songs on a dvd extra from a rising force dvd
Rob played all the fast technical guitar solos that Yngwie couldn’t play....
Masterclass section on Live In Leningrad DVD
I bet it's Chapman pedals under that red cover, and that they've put a toy dinosaur or something under it so people couldn't guess the shape haha.
Leo Moracholio Sig maybe?
A signature toy dinosaur?
I reckon you’ve nailed it
I would recognize that hammer toe anywhere. I told her to stay in the truck.
Maybe they're re-issuing Patch Of Shades.
Played the iris left handed ghost fret on Friday and it was amazing!! Thank you for making some great options for lefties also rob!
Damn you Mr Chapman! I don’t need any more guitars.... but I NEED me these beautiful pieces of heaven for my fingers sake!
Those basses are seriously legit.
I want that unicorn fade
That unicorn ghost fret is the best thing I've ever seen!!
What a great smiling face! Greetings from Turkey
Its either pickups, pedals, ukuleles or lap steel guitars under that red cloth! I can't wait. I just hope the prices are good! :)
It could be a hollow body too! Who knows?
I'm Left-Handed and i think my 1st big name brand puchase will be a Chapman. So far i'm looking at the Iris/Purple.
Great geetars!!!! 2019.... Daves finish on Rabea's geeetar, semi hollow with two f holes.
Thank you. Mr.Chapman for talking about lefties. And i did see one hanging on the wall.
My Ml-1 Pro Modern came in the post today, really impressed. Wish I could have picked one of the new colors though...
Wish I was there man they look incredible
Can’t wait for the full reveal. And hope the ml2-pro modern still comes in that amazing blue!!
Great looking guitars. Stainless frets👍🏻
That unicorn burst is so stunning it isn't even fair mate. The 2019 Chapman Offset needs to come in that finish. ;)
Dave beard grew out big time. Awsome new lineup for 2018 even a new cap10😮 man cant wait to see the unvail of the new ghost7.
The Norsemen and DH sig basses look wicked!
What a tease... upskirt and all... Can't wait to see what's under that red cover... :)
Looks great guys. Good luck, hope you do well!
Very cool, amazing instruments, amazing man, you are the man. Greetings from Colombia...
its beautifull, greeting from Chile, i promise that i will come to NAMM someday, and buy a capman ghostfret!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're killing me not having that blue and white ML1 in a right hand model. Why must you tease me so! Love that color.
That lefty ML-1 Pro Modern in Dusk is something else. Time to start saving up!
What's new? The hipster hair-do, Rob, that's what's new! I think the Chapman guitars keep getting better and better. I've tried a handful and they seem consistently good. I just need to decide which one is going to plug my 'gap' in guitar styles. I always get drawn to the classic shapes, so maybe it's time for something a bit more radical.
Rob can you please put that quicksand finish on every guitar it looks phenomenal
I gonna watch the hell out of all the chappers namm stuff as well as lee and the guys
Yesssssss so happy for you guys
Ahh, how I wish I could go to NAMM rip.... Have a great one this time around my man.
PLS do the quicksand finish on the ghost fret!! I would insta buy this guitar ! :DD
Wow Dave's signature series should be the #chappening! Man that finished is cool!!!! Can't wait to hear his demo!
If the ML-1 Pro Modern had that flame top of the 7-string, I wouldn't be so hesistant to buy :-D
Those basses look insane btw. Unreal. Absolutely love it.
Damn Im loving the Lefties!! Now Ill just have to wait till they add one more string to the lefty models and when Rob Chapman does it I'd take it in a heartbeat
wow...killer stuff Chappers....great guitars
That Quicksand finish is ARGLE FARGLE ARGLE
Damn that signature bass looks good!!
Oh shut! I’ll see you guys on Friday! I was there but didn’t see the stand yet.
I'm overwhelmed.
The Quicksand and Unicorn Burst finishes are pretty sweeeet. Are they pro range only?
The unicorn fade finish is badass.
Is that a Yamaha Pacifica hanging next to the new Cap 10?
Yes, this is a reference to the recent Rob & Captain Ibanez AZ Guitars video. :-)
unicorn burst is already my favourite thing now!
Waited a year to be super bummed about the color of the ML1 Lefty... Would preorder and happily wait for a sun colored one today if it were possible. Everything else looks great. Congrats on the new British range.
Great looking lineup! Not going to NAMM this year, but hope to see you there next year.
