The Oldest Guitar I have Ever Played!

[@asterisk606]

Grandmothers everywhere felt Chappers having his shoes up on that leather couch

[@rizzinthebox7124]

Feet off the couch!

[@RobChappers]

It’s the rock couch, it’s seen more sweat and whiskey than you will ever imagine lol

[@rizzinthebox7124]

@@RobChappers I know I was just kidding according to the motto rock hard sweat hard . By the way, the guitars sound really crazy. Very nice selection. cheers stay save

[@WorldsOkayestGuitarPlayer]

These guitars are amazing! The shop looks really well put together

[@cchavez248]

Okay, this is spooky! I had just been looking at current and vintage Gretsch Corvettes just this week and then, BOOM!!!! Rob has been spying on me!!

[@RobChappers]

Ha ha, how random!

[@cchavez248]

@@RobChappers Small world! I have an Electromatic Stumpomatic: basically a 3 hot-pickup version of the Corvette, signature of the leader of the Fallout Boys. I don't really like the megatrons and have been listening to the hilotrons, your thumbnail just hit home for the vids I've been binging!!!

[@martinclayton7260]

I love that Gibson ES345 in the background!

[@plexi1952]

It’s a 1969 modded one of our babies!

[@Ellysionair]

Came for the playing of country/slide licks. Was not disappointed

[@RobChappers]

Thanks man, still getting to grips with the slide but I really enjoy it :-)

[@durferz]

awesome shop. love the owners

[@JaniceLalla]

Sounds wonderful!

[@darrendrake3737]

Beautiful guitar. Always wanted a sparkle jet, and seeing this vid has me looking to actually buy one now. 21 years after I first wanted one. Thanks Rob!!!

[@AutismRocksOfficial]

Jazz Hands!

Sounds sweet as, well you know what 😁, absolutely beautiful nice vid Rob 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Rob, I was not expecting that end part! You're such an inspiration to me, and an amazing guitar player! Thank you so much for being so kind to me. I owe you. BTW what guitar was it? haha

[@playvintage9256]

Short story, was recovering from spinal surgery..had to start reducing the shows and hours possible with a hefty LP custom..in hospital bed searching for proper down tuned, stock pup demo of the 2019 Gibson V Mahogany..watched your vid..placed order right after! Thanks Ray! Dan obo Play Vintage 😉

[@xanderraymondcharles]

@@playvintage9256 phenomenal guitar choice sir! How are you healing up?!

[@playvintage9256]

@@xanderraymondcharles great guitar! Healed now ,thanks! , just will have to think twice before jumping off stage monitors now I guess!

[@RobChappers]

Of course bro, love you man thanks for being an inspiration and such a positive force in this community :-)

[@sayantanutbe]

Great guitar playing in this video!

[@RobChappers]

Cheers dude I really appreciate that :-)

[@brettmcinerney6951]

What head was the Corvette plugged into? Great vids! Got any Guilds up in that joint?

[@playvintage9256]

Laney IRT studio ..and yes we have a good selection of Guilds 😉

[@successfulerror]

i really want to travel to malta just to see that store and the mustang :D

[@kowalguitarlife9119]

Love the shirt man I have the exact same one I rock it all the time love the new segment man pretty cool

[@RobChappers]

Hey bro, thanks man appreciate you big time :-)

[@tylerc9809]

Yo get your shoes off the couch 😂

[@shanewalton8888]

Robert is the kinda guy you just gotta like the video before it begins.

[@RobChappers]

Ha ha thanks dude!! :-)

[@christophervincent8420]

That is a beautiful resonator guitar over your left shoulder on the intro. That faded yellow and pan looks crazy good. I love the Gretch. I have a little Gretch parlor. I am so amazed on how good Gretch sounds. But that Gretch you are playing sounds mint! Cheers from Santa fe NM bro

[@plexi1952]

Cheers! It’s an early 30s dobro m-32 :-)

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

Damn! I missed this vid. That beautiful guitar looks and sounds like it is made for deep down, high gain, low-tuned, NARSTY, SLUDGY, PHONKY METAL! Alas, just another dream.

[@dejct]

Damn that is a nice guitar.

[@PGeorge61]

Well, you mentioned it, so I suppose I'll share that I was born in '61. Shame...that wood seems in better shape than myself. Great sounding guitar! Hopefully, you bought it🤘

[@benjaminfowler4513]

Dude is that a vox super Beatle back there? Be cool to hear those amps!

[@plexi1952]

All vintage Voxes found in Malta. Supreme / ac50 / ac30 and super foundation bass 😀

[@thelivingdodo2]

Really loving this series Rob. Fantastic sounding and quite contemporary sounding guitar in many ways and certainly very versatile. Hopefully you can dig out a vintage Tele at some stage 🙂

[@RobChappers]

Thanks Scott, appreciate that dude - You know me man, I’m all about vintage Tele’s so plenty of that coming up provided these videos are well received :-)

[@thelivingdodo2]

Cheers Rob, really blew me away that Gretsch I must say I want expecting it to be so good!

[@yosephmcjoe9575]

Didn't Rory Gallagher play a corvette? Makes sense it sounds so awesome for slide! Always wanted one, one of the more overlooked vintage guitars, I hope for more vintage guitars that break the mold. ep 2 and I already love this series.

[@plexi1952]

Yes 🙌 Rory played a later corvette with a single pickup and burns vibrato

[@JohnKelly2]

The Corvette was only offered in cherry finish until later in the 60s, so it was red.

[@RobChappers]

Good info, thanks John :-)

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Loved the snippet of Catalyst. Hope it's not the last of Dorje.

[@thelivingdodo2]

The tone of this guitar is epic. I'm getting swamp blues vibes 😂

[@bluesrockguitaristmikesall2708]

This was Robert Nighthawks guitar of choice.

[@D.Miller]

Rob+music store= magic

[@fingolfen01]

That is a sweet guitar... I'm guessing it's not one of the ones that the "reputable dealers" on Facebook have been offering for $90 and less... ;-)

[@stanislavmigra]

Great video. Play some of the Marshalls laying around ;).

[@JesseLeeKing]

Yeah totally a great guitar to play slide on

[@PulledPurk]

I have a 67. Mine only has one knob though.

[@buddehaole]

Hendrix played a Gretsch Corvette.

[@thenovello-pugh]

That's the kind of guitar I could imagine JH of QOTSA rocking. Uber-cool! Buy it Robert!

[@RobChappers]

Absolutely agree with you dude, really wanted to spank out some grunge but kind of felt it was inappropriate

[@davidtomkins4242]

badcat amps should do a rob chapman sig called the battle cat

[@RobChappers]

Fucking love that suggestion!! Ha ha

[@smalltown4855]

I can imagine jimmy page using the gretsch whilst recording physical graffiti.

[@JesseLeeKing]

Yeah I liked stay metal ray video with jim root

[@Pandamasque]

1:28 captcha?

[@davedavem]

Well that's a fucking bargain.

[@jeremielhomme8572]

Shoes on the couch.... come on, man.

[@davidtomkins4242]

getcha feet off the furniture!! do you do that at home, young man?

[@Rolf_D]

Great guitar, may be it had a Neck Pickup, and the Cover is hiding the routing!

[@RobChappers]

Hi Rolf, yes I was wondering the same thing!

[@onemanband3579]

Ha! You played some Dorje.

[@JesseLeeKing]

It has a unique sound which gretsch guitars always do but it doesn't even sound like a gretsch to me lol

[@niptodstan]

I’ve got a 50’s Eko acoustic with a ‘Monkey on a stick’ (proper name) pickup that would outplay and sounds better than that.

[@kmichaelp4508]

Get those nasty shoes off the couch!!!!!!

[@bruzrkgro-malog2953]

Buddy sits on the arm of the expensive couch with his shoes on... what a pleb.

[@ozzie-sk9dh]
