Chappers & The Captain HAVE HUGE NEWS!

[@RobChappers]

Just a quick, FAQ: 1)Yes we can do left handed at no additional cost 2) headstock can be flipped to the “Normal” way up 3) It takes about three months to build and deliver these guitars Cheers :-)

[@Mephilis78]

I'm going to be moving next year. When I get where I'm going I will build a wood shop. I plan to start making my own guitars. I want to keep building them for myself until I'm confident in the quality. Then I'll start selling them. Limited stock, all handmade. I might even make my own pickups, since I went to school for electronics systems. We built more complicated things than guitar pickups in class.

[@shanewalton8888]

Yay! Lefties. Time to start saving up. Pray the Japanese yen recovers some value next year.

[@prs149]

One of the features I like about these guitars is the reverse headstock so who would want to change that I don't get it later.

[@pigedehekkan]

@@prs149 The reversed headstock is as annoying as duckface models. Good thing it can come with proper headstock.

[@richardhowell9535]

Thanks Rob, the only thing i didn't like about these is the reverse headstock. I checked the reverb page and they're all gone (damnit!). Guess i will have to order one.

[@andertons]

Hey Everyone, Lee here. Thanks so much for all the kind words & support. So proud that we got to do this!! 😍😍😍

[@RobChappers]

Did you see how many comments thought we were getting married? ha ha ha

Great news 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We love you guys, what a brilliant and fun team

You guys are finally getting married! Congrats, it's been a long time coming but we are so so very proud of you 2

Yes and to hear Rob is in his 1st Tri mester with the Captain’s but baby makes it even more special!! Cubans all around smoke em if ya gotem!

[@gazzab9204]

Great to see Chappers back on here! Don't rate that Pete bloke at all, Chappers is the Man!

[@RobChappers]

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at Chapman Guitars for helping too make this dream come true, I couldn't be more proud and it's down to you guys. Also thank you to every player out there who has supported us over the past 12 years. Lastly there's a second video over at the Chapman KZbin channel if you want to see more!

[@jonevettu1422]

Congratulations to you and the team! Impressive! Hope at some point the mlb vil make a returen, have been looking for the light blue-natural-light blue for ages. Would be cool to bring them back

[@shepp7988]

Rob !!! those are so badass tone machines!!!!! how can I get one now????? I've already checked reverb

[@JuicyJonesHQ]

What an amazing journey and an excellent milestone! 🎉❤

[@michaelmetal71]

hey Rob how about offering us a lest one lefty model 😢

[@gmmakesmehurl]

Haven't been this excited about a new guitar in a long time!

[@DarkSwam56]

Man i was just rewatching old videos of Rob and the Captain and now they have a new video together again I LOVE THESE TWO!

[@jughead6654]

literally same. haven't watched them in some time now, but the last couple weeks i got back into it. now this!

[@michaelgarcia2050]

The best pair for the Andertons videos.

[@metalEric69]

Chappers needs that hair back. Who took it?

[@richg1221]

Yes I often re-watch the old videos especially the Christmas editions and when they threw a guitar out the window to see if a soft case would protect it. Of course there comparison videos are unmatched. Love these guys.

[@ridhowiranatakusumah6176]

do you know he have controversy

[@gab_ale]

Still remember when they had announced they had a British made line, and then the manufacturer retired on them. Good to see they were able to get them made. Beautiful guitars.

[@RobChappers]

Thanks dude, couldn’t be more proud - by the way I took the blue one home :-)

[@gab_ale]

@@RobChappers LOL. You just had to.

[@aliensporebomb]

@@RobChappers I don't blame you for taking it home. The sound is woody, electric and works for me!

[@blues3531]

lmfao

[@J.C...]

They didn't retire 🤣 Check KDHs most recent Chapman vid. You'll see. It's smoke & mirrors from someone with little to no integrity.

[@limpneckmike]

So nice just to see Chappers and The Captain back together again. It feels like it’s been so long! When I knew nothing about gear I watched you guys religiously. I have ADD and I think I would’ve been bored trying to find demos of gear and information anywhere else. You guys always managed to make every minute so entertaining, and I never felt like you were trying to sell me something, because you were always so honest.

[@RobChappers]

Thanks so much man!

[@WeyounSix]

As much as I miss the gear comparison videos, this duo is the reason I came to both channels, and still something I love to see.

[@michaelferguson2157]

Victory is Life!

[@lloydmeeks]

Was it only me who had one of those self reflection moments when they talked about guys and girls in their 20's and now in their 30's who have grown up with the brand? The old Anderton's videos with Rob kick started my love affair with the instrument again, and I voted on and purchased the original ML3 Traditional. Now I'm in my 30's and these models look incredible and definitely speak to me as someone who craves the next level from Chapman Guitars. Can't wait to get my hands on one ❤‍🔥

[@bozeeke]

Good to see you two together again!

[@Dad-Gad]

KDH has a great point about this .

[@vladimirpoutine7522]

@Daniel R He builds his rep punching up for subscribers. What a shitty way to build a fan base. Guitarist get enough haters without this jealous beta.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

SO AWESOME! CONGRATS!

[@RobChappers]

Dude, thanks bro, you absolute legend :-)

[@fraenkiboii]

I'm happy for you, Rob! Met you once at Thomann and it was one of those encounters that only last 3 minutes but have a massive life impact.

[@RobChappers]

Dude that means a lot to me, thanks for your support man :-)

[@mathewcox7680]

So, so proud of you guys. You deserve all of your success, they look and sound amazing. Well done

[@dankazama404]

More than guitars i am happy to see you both together, remind me of good old days, still watch those old challenge videos

[@SirLoinMagroin]

Congrats to my friends across the pond. Long live Chappers & The Captain. Long live Chapman guitars. And, Long live the King.

So good to see you together again and congrats on this huge evolution of CapChap!!

[@ashcreekAER]

Congratulations Chappers and the Captain! It's awesome to see how far the company has come and excited to see what you guys put out. Been watching since 2013 when I wanted a Jackson V in high school haha. Glad to see all the years of work have payed off. Hope the future holds more great things for you.

[@Danmobley9]

Love you two together in videos, honestly got me through some difficult times watching old gear videos. Glad to see you two together

[@shanewalton8888]

Congratulations guys. My heart skipped a beat when you mentioned the 9 string V.

[@RobChappers]

We can make them left-handed as well 🤘🏽

[@ozgonc]

It's nice to have The Captain representing intermediate level guitar playing.

[@iaing2030]

Rob, Lee those look bloody incredible looking guitars. Congrats guys what a great journey to get to this point very happy for you both.

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

What an amazing journey you two have been on. Excited for you and we think it’s brilliant to have these custom guitars made in England, congratulations!

[@MianQin]

Congrats, Rob and Lee! Those guitars look and sound amazing! You guys definitely should have more videos. There is chemistry there!

[@arturandrade5675]

You guys definitely NAILED IT! Great sounding guitars and the looks are killer.

[@alwaysrockn2009]

I’ve been watching your videos since you first started making videos before Chapman Guitars existed, before you started working with Lee; you were working on the Green Ghostfret; You were propositioned by a dude to help start a brand and look what you and Lee have accomplished now. Awesome dude!!!😅

[@TheGuitarGeek]

They sound superb in that first track! Nice one.

[@Karlgolden]

Congrats they look stunning

[@nathanmclauchlan5148]

They look absolutely amazing. Congratulations Rob, Captain Lee and the entire Chapman team 🎉

[@wesleymorris1]

They look and sound amazing guys, congratulations, this is huge for the UK in my opinion. I hope I guys sell a ton. There isn't that many electric makers in the UK, at least I haven't heard of many.

[@wonnie]

I remember the first few attempts of trying to make an English or premium line of Chapman guitars. I'll always remember the first English made guitar by Jaden Rose and it was that green ghost fret. Congrats!

[@calvinbass1839]

Well done guys. Happy for you all. They sound & look great. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

[@PoppaWheelies]

I’m so happy for you guys ! The new guitars look and sound amazing from my screen here in the US!

[@thelos76]

Awesome news fellas, congratulations on your level UP!!!

[@ryanturner9509]

I am very happy and weirdly proud too that you guys have stuck to it and carved yourselves your very own, or rather, 'our' very own dragon slaying, tea drinking, queue joining, googly bowling guitar from Mighty Blighty. I will proudly shred an upper lip stiffening rendition of Jerusalem that will blow the head off your 'not quite cold enough' pint of Lancaster Bomber when i get mine!! Very well done indeed you lot. I look forward to seeing your names in the new year honours list, obviously!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍻🙏

[@alwayaiminghigh]

I've owned chapmans for quite some time, pretty much from the introduction of the Pro range, and having just bought a Standard ML1 hybrid (which I'm very impressed with, for the price the neck is phenomenal) I'm SUPER excited for these, hopefully I'll manage to get my grubby little hands on one to try it out!

[@connorsol]

Just bought a Rainstorm ML1 Moder Standard yesterday and really enjoying it for the limited run blue/green poplar burl look, and for a "budget" guitar on offer it is great overall! I'm an american visiting the UK and it's cool to see you guys get British-made guitars going!

[@ma5aw233]

I just have to say real quick, I havnt been tuned into the youtube guitar chanels in a while and its nice to see some news, I really love the colors on all the guitars :) Looks great. Keep it up // Need more captain shredding

[@tevieray123]

the prices for these are out of this world!!!!

[@stanislavmigra]

Absolutely stunning. Whats great, that the guitars sounded radicaly different in hands of Pete, Bea, Chapers and D I G I T A L John, meaning, they are dynamic and expressive. Super cool. And super nice to see relaxed Captain and Chappers in one video together

[@crimping1]

I am very happy and proud of you guys. Well done. This is a super cool.

[@隠れた]

You two played a huge roll in me getting back into guitar after an almost 10 year hiatus after having to sell ALL my gear for personal reasons, I came across the andertons channel in 2019 and after it gave me the urge to play I went to guitar center with no money just to be able to play again.. 3.5 years later I have acquired all the gear I wished I had as a teenager and I play daily and love it more than ever. Thank you guys😊

[@elevenAD]

As a yank im so glad they used the British pups! If i purchased one of these i would want it to be Brit, top to bottom.

[@anthonystark5412]

I live in South Africa, and I'll probably never be able to afford one of these instruments. Yet, I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Years ago, a controversial presenter on a very high-profile car show said something along the lines of "It's true, we no longer build great cars in Britain. In fact, it seems we no longer build great... anything." It's time to change that, lads.
