I have a PRS SE Nick Catanese signature model (single cut, EMG actives) which is the best playing guitar I have ever owned (American Strats and Teles - I am a confirmed Fender nut) - sadly this model is no longer in production, but I have to say it beats every Les Paul and LP style guitar I have tried over the last 40 years.

Been looking at the Zach Myers today, went to a shop in Manchester UK to have a look at some Gibson Les Paul Traditional's and saw a few flaws in them, cracked finish around the bridge screws, what seemed to be a crack on the nut. Always wanted a Les Paul but looking at the standard of the PRS at nearly half the price!!!!!

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 can really recommend FGN, if you are looking for super amazing sounding, feeling and classic looking Les Paul around 1000€ (or even less than 650€ used). I got one myself couple years ago and it is still my favourite guitar for almost everything. They do not have any stuff like chambering, so they are pretty damn heavy though.

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.

he might be a shredder and i have nothing against it, I'm not saying that at all, I like shred, jazz, fusion but being a good musician also means having good timing, and it happens a little to often that he for example doesn't finish on the beat etc, and i think that the combination of timing, phrasing etc makes a good musician but personally i think that rob has recentyl lost some vibes he used to have, not trying to discredit him in any way, he just had a kid and ofcourse its not easy to mix music and having a kid but just saying.... Might have to play a little more again, cause he really is a good guy and musician

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??

Excellent video. The only problem i had is with the backing track being panned to the right ( probably cause Lee played it). This made the times when lee was soloing over the backing track sounded a bit busy and cluttered. I personally think that having the backing track just in the center. Thanks for the great videos guys

The Gibson just had that thick chunky vintage les paul rock sound that none of the others quite matched. A couple had a little something of it but for the most part they all sounded pretty modern even if they didn't always look modern. The Chapman and LTD looked pretty slick and the set through was pretty sweet. I really wanted to like the PRS better. because I'm kind of interested in a semi hollow Mira for the light weight. 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..

Getting an "inspired by" Les Paul is like cooking a burger with butane "inspired by" the sweet lady propane. It just ain't right.

Butane burns hotter than propane. The downside is you can loose pressure in cold weather, but who bbqs in cold weather, right?

If Rob & Lee were to bring back that gorgeous Antique sunburt colour for the ML2 I'd give them my money right now. Until they do i guess I'll have to settle for a esp ltd ec-1000T

The LTD Vintage black you played does also come with EMG's if you want them. You had the Duncan version. Oh and Rob I'm not sure you are an ESP artist anymore, you're not listed on the website as one. Good video though just wished it had been longer.

the LTD EC series are great if you're willing to replace their crappy pickups. My EC256 is my favorite guitar I've ever played. I'd really like to have seen schecter represented, I want to hear how the pasadena pickups compare to the others.

If "inspired" means more about the vibe / feel /sound than just the singlecut shape, you can also consider Ibanez AR, Yamaha sg, Yamaha RS, Ibanez RC. Also Fujigen has some lp style models that are made in Japan and pretty affordable

my only gripe with the ML2s is the placement of the switch, I hope if they get a traditional model they'll remedy that and place it more akin to the Les Paul and reduce the number of frets

I have pretty much the same Gordon Smith GS2 as the one in this video. Except mine has coil taps and the fully compensated bridge. Best guitar I've ever played. I'm actually driving down to guildford tonight from manchester and will be visiting andertons with it tomorrow. So it was refreshing to see this video just before my visit :D

that Chapman is aces.. Admit it guys , you love it too.. Many Humbucking guitars have a very neutral sound.. only once you add the pedals do they come alive.. but the Chapman has its own unique sound which is quite pleasant.

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).
