The End Of An Era

My head of marketing just found 5 more ML1X guitars - They are be Stock models with minor blemishes, link in the more section.

I’d forgotten how cool Toms guitar looked!!

I love how YouTube still pushes me random Chappers videos like 10-15years later every now and then. Great stuff!

All links are in the “more section”, (super appreciate anyone following my Spotify)

R.I.P Tom. Thanks for your contribution to the Chapman legacy.

This episode should have been Chapman’s Partscasters.

Been wanting one since 2011 so now is my time to get one. Just ordered! Can't wait!! My first Chapman. FINALLY!

Love the push push pots better than the push pull ones. Thanks Tom for your musical contribution and contributions to Chapman guitar. RIP 🌹

I remember watching those videos years ago, time flies!

Rob.....have you thought about catering to the “mod” crowd by offering a line of “base” guitars with just the neck and body to allow moders the ability to install their own hardware, electronics, and pickups? Heck, you could even do them with no finish for the people who want to put their own paint job to them. I love modding my guitars a bit, but not having to pay for hardware and the other bits that are just going to get swapped out would be ace! Just a thought........

That Cap10 looks excellent. Congratulations that Chapman has been going so long and is still putting out great stuff. I do think you should release a lap steel for us Americana/country rock musicians and call it the "Chap-steel" :)

I really enjoyed this video Rob!

Cool guitar. I’ve been a fan for a while (started with the Chappers and the Captain videos). It would be fun to own a Chapman, but I’m unemployed (for the moment) so I’ll enjoy it vicariously through your channel. Thanks. Be well. 🙏

As a left handed guitarist i cant find a single left handed chapman guitar, but they look awesome. love the natural finishes

I bought a Chapman Ghost Fret from Riff City Guitar in Minnesota just after release. I really loved that place, and found the guitar to be a well-made instrument of good design. Unfortunately, with Chapman moving to Guitar Center, and after Riff City had just opened a new store and with all the money they spent on getting ready to move their original store, the business was shut down. I don't know if it was an issue of bad timing, unrealistic expectations, or something else. Rumors tend to be rather one-sided, so I'm not sure I can ever really trust them. Regardless, it was a great store that disappeared. Talk about the end of an era. RIP Riff City Guitar. Great people, great store.

I love the Cap10 Seafoam Green… absolutely stunning!

Ahhh man! They look wicked! Would love one, but unfortunately gotta take a trip abroad soon😢😢 well, still awesome stuff guys and much love from Hawaii! 🤙

@RobChappers One model that I really got into was the ML Hot Rod. I still own 3 of the original 5. I also have an original CAP10. I have had several other models over the years. Your guitars have always proven to be fantastic. Thank you to all involved, including Lee, Bea, DP, and anyone else I may not know about.

Just bought one. Looking forward to shredding on this 🙂

Rest in Peace Tom!
