Out of my price range, but gorgeous guitars. (and that shredding near the end...it was truly a masterclass, more than a guitar demo. Awesome playing man.)
My pick from the new Chapman Guitars line, without question, is the Pegasus. This is genuinely the first time in more than a decade that I have seen the following features in a production guitar: 24.75" scale length, 42mm nut, flat hardtail bridge/flat neck pitch (One follows the other.), and a blade selector switch. For all that time, that combination of features has required a partsocaster project costing as least as much as the Pegasus. The closest production guitar to that was the Squier Paranormal Toronado, which had a toggle selector and was only available for two of the worst years (economically) of the last decade. If I manage to afford a Pegasus, supposing it stays in production longer than the Squier Toronado, then I will give mine a DiMarzio FRED and Satchur8 pairing with either a rewired selector switch or Free Way's six-way blade switch (model 3B3-01) and G&L's PTB circuit (via concentric volume and tone pots).
@@chopholtz4950 Thanks for your kind offer, but I will not have the money for at least a year. I should also mention that the US price for the Pegasus is $1,500: that makes it more expensive than a partsocaster.

Sick, sick playing!
