[@DarthCiliatus]

It's a brand Andertons is associated with so it's not unreasonable to assume that Lee had some input on design choices for it.

[@oysteivi]

When two guitarists own a guitar company, it's only natural for them to make guitars they themselves would like to play. Not that strange then that the Chapman feels good to them both.

[@tyshred9251]

Chapman guitars are just incredible. It's seriously impressive how good they are. From the basic ml1 to the pro or artist specialty runs, all chapmans are killer. I own many, guitars, all kinds of high end models and none are even close to my chapman.

[@gingataff]

Ty Shred curious to know which high-end guitars you own. I’m presuming something like Suhr, Anderson or Tyler?

[@zosojstro]

Once again a great episode!! This continues to reinforce how the quality continues to increase allowing the average person the ability to own a really nice guitar. Definitely much better than 20+ years ago!! Well done Captain

[@rockerseven]

I will definitely agree with this statement. I own a Chinese made Epiphone, but it plays great. A decade or 2 ago I played an Epiphone, and it was garbage to me. I don't remember at all the model or anything, but it certainly predates when Epis were exclusively made in China. Meaning it could have been made in China, Korea, Japan, or even America. But no matter where it was made, it felt terrible to me compared to today. I was really hesitant to get the Epiphone just based on my previous ideas, but now that's all changed. I also have an Indonesian made Ibanez bass that I think is great. Are either as good as my American made Fender Strat? No. But that Strat was also quite pricey. But for affordable guitars, while there are tiny bits here and there where the quality isn't as good (maybe the frets aren'tas smooth as they could be, or maybe the fret inlays are just plastic as opposed to a more expensive material), for the most part, country of origin really doesn't make a huge difference anymore.

[@bubbaw1234]

these are the kinds of videos that make this channel so great. I--for one--completely believe the integrity of the tests and LOVE seeing Lee get surprised and embarrassed. Doing this as the owner of the shop is so ballsy and was a risk, but it has payed off big time. Really appreciate it.

[@noarrivalsguitar2524]

Man I've been watching you guys for years and I'm always overjoyed when a new video pops up. I love you guys, what you do, and mostly - how much I'm inspired and what I learn when I watch. Been playing over 20 years, but you guys always breath life and love back into the instrument for me. NEVER STOP! Love from USA

[@_RLP]

This video is just awesome. Lots of humor, great production all around and good content. Even the intro was funny. Top notch, guys.

[@swoooner4304]

Recently subscribed to this channel after seeing their videos around once and a while and it's been very inspiring listening to them both play. It's really got me back into playing again. Feels like way back when I first started.

[@michaelparsons5352]

pick one up, learn 3 chords and enjoy the rest of your life. 😊. I have been playing for 45 years. I have owned used and new, $100- $1000. and I have played several which were much more expensive. The best guitar is the one YOU will PLAY.

[@Ehrmann_Gregsson]

That was the coolest sticker throwing I've ever seen!

[@anthonykueber6098]

"Can I take this off" - of course you can, Lee, you own the joint.

[@michaeltronson]

Rob & Lee! You need to do a challenge where you BUY a guitar blindfolded!

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: This proves my opinion for at least 10 years. Modern manufacturing, proven design and material selection has narrowed the gap between the affordable and the higher end instruments. A good set up brings them all to a very good level. The sound of the electronics is subjective, not really related to quality. Unlike 50 years ago, very few guitars are shipped with defective tuners. It is no longer bad vs. good, but good vs. better.

[@mikes062]

Barb Melle yea that’s just it, the skimp on the parts we want to upgrade like pickups and other electronics anyway

[@DarthCiliatus]

These newer cheap guitars capture the essence of Leo Fender's designs perfectly. They are cheap to build due to the simple design and therefore very accessible and they are still great feeling and sounding guitars.

[@s0uldrift3r]

Great job as always guys!! 🤘

[@carterbaker8635]

I love how you do these videos. You are demoing these guitars, but not in an add format. You let us see what you love in the guitars and tech, and that's fantastic. I enjoy this as content, but it's also fantastic advertising. That is genius.

[@Sensei10238]

Those guys combine guitar, music and humor so perfectly. Please keep going guys.

[@ivorharden]

If I was the owner of Grey guitars, I would be really happy that Lee said my guitar felt like a top end Ibanez. It could of been worse, Lee could of said it felt like a Stagg strat.

[@ARocketComplex]

Man I was so excited to see this. Great to see the difference between these two's ears

[@noxziosplayground2646]

[@Craig_Fussell]

Entertaining as always guys! At the end of the day, you proved that it’s not where it’s made, what it costs or who made it, but what you like to play (feel and sound). Cheers! ✌🏻🎸

[@Josh-uk5ns]

[@SixString_J5]

15:23 perfect demonstration on how cool the captain has gotten of late.

[@OzTwanger]

Superb. Love the honesty

[@carlmcgregor2707]

From what I can tell from the blindfold challenges, is that guitars and music as a whole is all based on what 1 person likes. Not what others say is the best. If a £99 guitar makes you happy and want to play, then it is better than a guitar worth £1000's that you have no passion for.

[@dazzhotchkin]

Agree, i wouldnt swap my mexican standard tele for a custom shop no matter what it was worth

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: You are completely correct Carl. I have guitars that cost above $2000 that are very nice and have no problems, yet most of the time I play guitars that cost under $400, in fact some I had purchased used for under $200 used. I even built a "partscaster" completely out of bits I had replaced on customers guitars that is in my top 5 players. Money spent is not equal to how well a guitar is liked.

[@jimmyjimmy951]

I favour my 2005 Squier Standard. My best player and tone out of all my collection. All about me when it comes to how I feel..👍🇦🇺

[@Bellocks1]

Carl McGregor amen to that! I have an Epiphone Les Paul Goth I bought 15 years ago for about £360. I love it, all the dings, scratches and dents. Feels perfect for me to play. And why try a Gibson that’s loads more when I’m happy?

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Great video!

[@killacoiler1707]

Rob and Lee I love how you challenge and heckle each other your videos are amazing to say the least. I think that anymore the Asian guitar manufacturers are benefitting from advanced technology that makes it easier to be consistent in their work and maintain a higher quality end product. I think that what is the more deciding factor is the grade of woods being used and the grade of components that separates the budget guitars from the more medium to higher end instruments. It used to be if it wasn't American, German, or Japanese made it was pretty janky but Mexican, Korean, and Indonesian manufacturers have really proven to have the goods in the last decade. Mainland China can still be hit or miss but even they are stepping up swinging for the bleachers. Good showing fellas. Cheers!

[@biferose158]

I just want to point out to those watching, that east coast and chapman are both set up by the techs at andertons, which tells you if anything that they do a good job setting up a guitar, and ultimately a good setup is worth it’s weight. Obviously I don’t know about the others but I’m under the assumption that the guitars that do the best in these videos are the ones most freshly setup, as that goes a long way for feel

[@RedExp]

[@AllanGildea]

Brilliant lads - thanks a mill. Great stuff! Btw, If these vids were "set up" are we really expected to believe that you'd contrive to call a £2k + guitar "mid range" and immediately wax lyrical about a sub £100 just to convince us that your promotion of the Chapman was genuine?
