Theres a comment on Robs video that says "That Irish fella is going to love this...".
-
if anything, they shoulda called the telecaster the telegraph.
-
Give a hundred or so guitarists 1000 pounds each to buy a guitar of their choice and I’d bet not one would choose a chapman.
-
Chapman Guitars. Now that’s Size.
-
KDH putting more thought into this than Rob did
-
Rob pretty much said "We're getting rid of all the ranges and having only one range priced like the pro range but made in the cheapest country possible (Labour wise) to keep manufacturing prices as low as possible to make as much profit as possible. " At least that's what I heard
-
Chapman ? A cold day in hell before my money goes their way
-
Usually that what happens when the guitars don’t sell anymore…
-
I mean, honestly right now almost nobody could challenge Harley Benton in low to low-mid budget range.
-
Has it really been 15 years already? Damn, I feel old.
-
Oh is it that time of year again?
-
0:04 seconds in and I’m just saying I was waiting for this inevitable video.
-
People still buying Chapman these days?
-
Only had one Chapman - forget the model but paid about $500. Qc was dreadful, pickups were muddy. Couldn’t wait to return it.
-
Here’s the issue w Chapman. When they came out they were the only budget brand offering specs like jumbo SS frets, branded pups, flat radius, ebony boards etc etc. All the other companies uped their game immediately hence making Chapman just another brand.
-
I dig the Ibanez naming system, but theres a learning curve to it. I understand why some folks dislike it
-
Hey, look, a wild KDH on his original tropical surroundings... that's a KDH of the inquisitor variety, a ruthless hunter of the parasitic entity known as "the chappers"...
-
KDH keeping champmun in check 😂😂

Its bizarre, despite their roots as a brand for budget conscious and (not to use this as a dirty word but) bedroom players, it seems odd to me that they've spent the last few years trying to shake off that customer base, almost as if they're embarrassed by it. The only guitars I've really seen players use from chapman (who aren't big youtubers or the handful of pro musicians that use them) are from their budget line. When you go on andertons' website they're constantly blowing out Chapman guitars, from all lines, so I really can't see why focusing on £1000+ guitars is a sensible move for the company. Also, I can kind of understand the want to lose the ML, given that it stood for "Monkey Lord", a moniker Rob hasn't used in years but the new names honestly just reinforce the impression I have from Chapman that they're guitars for the kinda guys that have "Man caves" and think they're vikings (if you know, you know).

I never heard of Chapman until your channel. I've played for a living for 50 years. But I am in the US. Always a bad idea to change the name of an established item. People can't find it or the competition will simply tell customers " They don't make those anymore. " And they won't be lying. I think the most interesting part of this video is that you are in Cali!
