Chapman UK Workshop

The Chapman Workshop Series are a range of guitars that are made in the United Kingdom, using premium components, and highly sought-after premium tonewoods. It can’t be understated how high the level of craftsmanship is on this range of proudly UK-made Chapman guitars.

Tonewoods

The luxury finish of the guitar body decorates a quilted Maple top, with an African Mahogany Walnut Pinstripe back. This guarantees a perfect amount of weighty resonance, perfect for the bridge-position humbucker, with a touch of Maple snappiness and unbelievable looks to boot.

The body is complemented by a Roasted Maple neck, balancing traditional feel with beautiful contemporary aesthetics that match the Mahogany & Maple body combo.

Premium Hardware & Electronics

The combination of the solid Wilkinson Steel Block bridge with steel locking saddles, Chapman Custom-Wound pickups, and Hipshot Grip-Lock Tuners make this guitar incredibly reliable for tuning stability while delivering inspiring Chapman tonal quality.
