History of the Chapman Guitars

Back in 2009 Rob Chapman came up with the idea of collaboratively designing a guitar with his YouTube fans – over 5000 fans took part in a series of votes to decide on body style, neck profile, headstock shape, pickups & colours, and the original ML-1 was born. Originally made in China & sold as a limited edition one of run in matt black, the ML-1 sold out within 2-3 months & left 100s of fans disappointed that they didn't get one. In 2010 Rob underwent the same process to design the ML-2 – a single cut, double humbucker guitar that again sold out within 2-3 weeks of arrival. In 2012 Rob decided to take the Chapman guitar brand up market, and moved the production to Korea. The new factory introduced some new features, improved the build quality, and added new colours to the original ML designs. Whilst the “Professional/Affordable” essence of the original ML guitars still shines through, The Chapman brand is becoming well known for creating quality products and outstanding value for money.

Excellent guitar and great fun to use!

Trusted Customer23rd Jan 2017

amazing guitar. finish is amazing and it sounds sick. I play mainly blues, indie and classic rock and the guitar is amazing for this. I did think about the traditional spec but i wanted humbuckers and they sound so amazing. I played a traditional in store and although the modern is marketed as heaver, shreddier etc. i am really happy with my choice. It is extremely versatile with the coil taps and sounds amazing anything from clean through crunch to heavy distortion (i use an egnater tweaker 15 combo, holy grail nano reverb, TS mini and DS-1). I have played a cap-10 and ml 3 traditional as well and the ml 3 modern is by far my favourite. I also have a mexican standard strat and i think this is an amazing compliment to that guitar.

fantastic guitar for a medium/low price. The instrument is quite heavy, but that results in some great tones! (Anyway not as heavy as a Les Paul)

The guitar is great in every way Sounds great, feels great, looks great, plays great, even the padded gigbag and fluogreen cloth are great ! Balanced and versatile enough to do everything you throw at it and still retain its qualities. I play everything from the heaviest downtuned stuff to clean funky stuff and it does it all with solid tones. There is no better option in it's price category unless you compare it with another Chapman witch may suit you better. Not saying it because I bought one but really, as for brand new guitar there is no better deal. If I had to say something negative it is a bit on the heavy side regarding weights. Really satisfied anyway. Keep on making good stuff guys !
