I don't understand people are hating on chappers pulling out a chapman. They could do 20 guitars that are les paul inspired and if 19 of them weren't chapman and one of them was y'all would still fuss. Couple years ago everyone was asking to see more chapman guitars. I personally think they are great guitars and do their own thing very well. Everyone has their own opinion but y'all need to chill with bashing him for using chapman. They own the damn company so if they want to use the guitars then let them! If you don't like them then piss off!

I've noticed most of the nasty comments sarted after the NAMM show reveal of the new Chapman line with the Standard and Pro range and their different price points. I think the Pro range prices were unexpected and hit a lot of people hard, and now there are a lot of sour grapes out there holding a grudge. Before this past NAMM I hardly saw any negativity around Chapman guitars.

Jennifer Doneske yes I agree which is something I still don't understand. All of the signature models (besides the cap-10) like the bea sig and the rob scallon models were the price of the pro models now which were kind of like the pro lineup of the original chapmans. I don't get the hate but it is what it is. I just hope that people will chill out. If they don't like chapman guitars then that is fine but there is no need to throw so much hate around like they do.

I've been watching their videos for several years now. One thing I have to point out is that Lee Anderton's playing ability has really improved! Musically speaking, this was one of the best videos I've ever seen from these two. I really like it when they are switching off playing rhythm and lead, but the backing track behind them this time, really pulled a bit more out of both of them. Rob used to just shred up and down the neck faster than a pile of japanese beetles through a pine forest, but not much musicality in it. We all know he's actually a pro musician, but this time he really really put it all together and sounded awesome! Great job to all involved.

olivier arnold Music has 3 main components. Rhythm, bass, and melody. They're all equally important if the music is going to be subconsciously good sounding. and a shredder running through scales is not music because it has none of those aspects that make music good.

WheatWormStudios I don't agree with that. By that logic, bands like the White Stripes aren't music because they don't have bass, or Meshuggah isn't music because they are really rhythm focused rather than melody. I would agree that Rob's shredding is really lame though.

TLDR; Perhaps Andertons weren't selling enough of Gordon Smiths in their shop and hence this was a disguised promo? First off, both you guys have been doing an amazing job for years now and I'm a huge fan!! I'm also not complaining about the inclusion of ML2 in this list, or any other list from Chappers/Lee for that matter, as I genuinely think they SHOULD believe in their product and it's only fair to be promoting/talking-about what they believe in - I'd have been worried if they didn't believe in their own product. BUT, I'm a bit suspect about the inclusion of the Gordon Smith GS2 here. I, in my limited knowledge, think it's more of a 60's vintage Melody Maker or at best an LP Special double cut inspired guitar. There are plenty, plenty more guitars that were worthy to be included in this 'LP inspired' list. Perhaps Andertons weren't selling enough of Gordon Smiths in their shop and hence this was a disguised promo??

The Gibson just had that thick chunky vintage les paul rock sound that none of the others quite matched.

I really wanted to like something to stand out other than the Les Paul because they are kind of thick, chunky and heavy without any comfort sculpting. Ah well..

Good stuff lads. Would have liked to see your thoughts on the Ibanez AR though.

Gordon Smith's look somewhat like Les Paul Double Cut, and maybe Yamaha SG.

Gordon Smith guitars have always been fantastic, so pleased to see one here

Great video guys .. waiting for the S type shootout .. I almost bought that PRS last week .. happy I didn't .. yet . I found it a little too bassy, let us see what ML1 will do against its rivals.

Lee's playing is very inspiring.

Love that GS2. Would love to see a Prestige Coupe or Heritage in here.

The S2 Singlecut does have coil splits btw

Gotta agree with Rob here - if I were buying a LP style guitar from this video, it'd be either the S2 or the Chapman. In fact, I'd buy either of them over the Studio.

I would like the Chapman more if it didn’t have that angled cutaway at the neck-joint. I know it’s for playability, but it kinda throws off the shape of the top in my opinion, (which has a great carve, by the way).

I would have love to see a Jackson Monarkh in that line up for this video, even if it's less than $1000.

Are you planing on doing an Ml-2 traditional? With a thicker body, set neck and "normal" four nob layout.
