"GROWN AMONGST TIGERS".
Best marketing slogan in the history of guitars.
It needs to be embossed on the back of every one of these headstocks.
Awesome idea!
@@chapmanguitars When I buy mine I will be sure to put it there.
How nice to see Jeff again. I bought my rosewood neck McCarty Standard from Jeff in 99. He was a great salesman, and a true legend. 25 years later I’m still playing that guitar. Congratulations Rob on your amazing guitar and for this wonderful video.
He’s the only guy I know who would tell people not to buy a guitar if it didn’t suit them 😂
Stop making guitars I want! My wife won't let me buy any more guitars! I really want that guitar!
😂
This could be the lyrics to my next song... if I had this guitar that is..
R. I. P Jeff.. ❤
Your blindfolded shootouts are the best! You are extremely experienced
Glad you like them dude
Rob, congratulations another killer guitar. Your passion and eloquence are wonderful and so positive. 🤘🏻🎸👍
Thanks Simon ❤
That guitar looks amazing
thats absolutley gorgous! cannot wait to try one of these!
I still have your old PRS SC245 'Autumn' as my number one - she's still going strong and serving me well after 15 years. Sadly Eddie Kramer's autograph has long since faded 😞
Awesome. That is all.
Currently building a baritone using 40 year old Indian laurel for the neck. I still have a couple of fingerboards of the most fantastic Indian rosewood that was imported in 1982 by a carpenter making cases for very high end shotguns. Genius stuff and it looks like a Victorian antique desk before you start. A grand is a very good price mate!
1st! You da man Rob Chapman thank you for the many laughs and guitar knowledge 🤟😎🍻💯🔥
Nice, that chapman looks really sweet. Well done guys
My goodness, thats a lovely looking neck. Also as others have commented, really nice to Jeff on video again. I only ever heard nice things about him.
I absolutely love rosewood necks. I have a Music Man St Vincent (before they switch to maple necks) and a McCarty 594 both with rosewood necks and they’re my favorite playing guitars of all time. The second closest is my ML3 Pro Bea Baritone with the open pore Pauduk neck. Looks good, Rob.
Yeah man it’s an amazing material- congrats on your collection
I hope this series made in India will last for a long time because I definitely wish to try some of these new Chapman guitars, but I need to gather some $ first!
Woah. I remember this.
I do remember that video, and the one he gave you a PRS...That rosewood neck on a SuperStrat with a Floyd would be sweet (new Hot Rod model for 2024)🤘🏼
Hi, Rob!
I was so profoundly influenced by your own videos, and the ones you did with Jeff.
You both had such enthusiasm for "good kit" as Jeff would call it. You both were so clearly in love with the guitars you were showing us.
My guitar collection took shape based on these amazing videos, and asbi sit here now, my office contains a rosewood neck Mccarty, and a Vigier that both came from World Guitars!
I remember the song you wrote when Geoff passed away. We lost a legend that day, abd the respect you show him is beautiful. All the love, Rob. Massive fan for decades now!
You flash git ;) some awesome playing sir :)
That is a proper nice geetar right there, only played a couple of rosewood necks n they are something different n a little tasty :)
Thank you kindly! 🤘🏽
THE WYVERN GENERAL REMEMBERS THIS LEGENDARY VIDEO 😂 Man, i hope i can one day get a Chapman guitar around here. 🙏 The few I've tried have been fantastic
I hope so too bro 🤘🏽
I remember the World Guitars and Jeff videos, great times!!! You’ve come a very long way since then, awesome video Rob, keep up the amazing work🎸👍
As a resident of Stonehouse where World Guitars are based I'm gutted I wasn't able to hang out there more chatting to Jeff, he was a top bloke and put up with my teenage nonsense when all I could afford was the occasional fresh set of strings
I’ll never forget my time there, he was a fucking legend
Fantastic guitars
What I’m curious about, bolt on versus set neck, you make all 3 styles, bolt,set, and neck thru, which I think is what makes your brand extra cool.
That’s cool. Never played a rosewood neck
Good Job
I personally like to shellac the face of a rosewood neck's rosewood headstock to "showcase" its gorgeous color & grain pattern somewhere that will easily catch the eye, but yes TMU it needs absolutely nothing but a satisfactory shape for use as a guitar neck to take that guitar to the upper limits.
I stumbled upon a McCarty soapbar with a rosewood neck. Instantly became my favorite guitar. I know have 3 rosewood neck guitars and one with a padouk neck. And I just ordered some rosewood neck blanks. Just to see what I can do.
Rob Chapman is the kind of guy to say "Shiver me timbers" when he plays a rosewood neck
Yes sir!
That ml3 is so beautiful. Just wish it was yellow + black only instead of + green
Been watching you a long, long time. Jeff was the first person that I only knew from the internet - who when he passed away I felt genuinely sad inside.
I miss him
I remember that video, and that fella. World guitars is still there I reckon. I haven't driven into Stonehouse for a while, but it's not too far out of my way. I think I'll swing by there after work tomorrow and have a look. 😁
I travel into Chennai on business once or twice every year. Would love to visit the factory some time for a wee nosey. 🎼🎸😎👍
I’m sorry - the factory is not open to the public, but I’ll shoot a video there this year to show you around.
I live in Chennai and I'd be keen to check out your guitars if possible! 👍🏼
Cor!!! I want one! Is there a version with a fender type trem? Yes miss Jeff too - lovely guy - hilariously rude but a true ‘diamond’ geezer… 🎸👍
would love the first finish on the baritone model! just saying!
Gotta be maple. The RG550 neck like the Jem 7V is perfect. Just sand it down a further 1mm or so and make it smooth on the back too.
It definitely has that classic tone, tell us a bit more about the pickups please.
Hi dude, I put an Alt 8 in the bridge and a little 59 in the neck (Seymour Duncan USA) super versatile… it’s nice to blend the Alnico with the ceramic
Cant wait to have chapman guitar retailers throughout india, great guitar rob!
Beautiful guitars! I'd love to play the standard-scale model.
The best neck I’ve ever played was Strat with a limited edition full rosewood neck.
Unbelievable how good they feel in the hand
Grown amongst Tigers, played by Rob Chapman, how much more badass can you get?
Your guitar with that Indian rosewood neck looks an absolute dream. I have 3 guitars with rosewood fingerboards, and one maple. But my computer desk is made from Indian rosewood, and it feels so wonderful to work on. I was so stunned in the look of the timber that i actually purchased the matching bookshelves. Cost a fortune but worth it. Congratulations on finally getting these necks for your guitars because im curious to know if there will be any available in Australia 🤔
This is awesome.
Back in the mid-2010s, GC commissioned a US Strat from Fender with a solid rosewood neck and Custom Shop Fat 50s pups. I was fortunate enough to get one of those guitars. It is by far my favorite guitar. The resonance is indescribable. So, I know what you're talking about with the feedback to the player being different.
Pickers, if you've never played a solid rosewood neck, do yourself a favor and at least play one sometime. You may or may not like it but you'll definitely have a different perspective on what is possible for guitar tone...
I am curious, Mr. Chapman, will you be offering the ML1 with a solid rosewood neck sometime? I've wanted a ML1 for several years but haven't pulled the trigger on a purchase yet. If you are planning on offering one with the solid rosewood neck, I think I'll wait until you release those.
It is good to see a company run by someone so passionate about their products! 😊😊😊
Thanks dude, that’s definitely a consideration - the possibilities are kind of endless with the material on the doorstep of the factory 🤘🏽
All Rosewood. All the time George Harrison telecaster $4360.00. Just saw a Klos carbon fiber neck review. Cool stuff.
I'm a tall dwarf, so tiny hands, but I've never had issues with different neck shape's or material, if anything it brings out different riffs from me....but last year I brought a SE PRS custom 24, and it's like that neck was made specifically for me 🤔😂
I’ve never heard of a “Tall Dwarf” before, I need to educate myself.., if you need a small neck I’d personally consider using a local tech to have it planed/sanded to your requirements.
Depending on the structural integrity of your neck it could be reduced considerably.
@@RobChappers I'm good, like I said I find different necks inspires different riffs from me....but every once in a while you come across magic examples.
The standard scale sounds great. Seymour Duncans?
Umm I think I've just found my dream guitar might have to come check one of these bad boys out 🤘
Any chance of a "nebula" purple burst in the future? there are not enough purple guitars out there (although Pete has been doing his fair share)
Sadly i missed the boat on the purple ML-V when it was being made, that one was absolutely beautiful and i will keep looking for it.
Check out the Chapman Pegasus! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Ok Rob, after telling us about having to watch out for Tigers…. PLEASE do a Special Edition, Limited run of like, 10-100 of there finished in an orange and black Tiger Stripe pattern
Love this idea 🤘🏽🐯🤘🏽
@@RobChappers I know it’s maybe a bit “silly”, but this is the internet, and we are guitar lovers … let’s face it, silly is pretty much our default 👍🏼😂
@@RobChappers Hull City fans will buy them all !!
🔥
Hey Rob this guitar looks and sounds great. Have been a fan of yours playing and the guitars you are making. Is there any way you guys ship this to India?
I remember that video, didn't you also play an original Ibanez Jem (with the pyramid inlays)?
Any plans to also offer a matching rosewood body?
A Rosewood body would be too heavy I think, would look nice though
Make that guitar lightweight with a piezo pickup please
You could market those rosewood necks as being "treated" with Bengal tiger urine for predatory picking styles....😊😊😊
or "Mark your territory in any song with the power of tiger pee".
lol
🐯
Very cool, it’s a shame they accidentally made a left handed neck, but you’ve clearly made it work. 🤓🎸
I've been waiting for this baritone baby to become available in Thomann for what seems 2 months now. Still it says it's sold out. Any ETA on the restock date, sir?
Thomann will have some in a few months time, maybe try Andertons
I'd rather wait for Thomann. Andertons charges duties and for delivery which in total amounts easily to over a hunderd pounds given an address outside mainland Europe. But thank you for answering. Good things are worth waiting for.
Hi Rob, I don't know how long it would take for Rose Wood to grow as opposed to any other timber like maple 🍁. But my question is it really sustainable in this modern environment living world . There's maybe enough Rose Wood in one neck to make 3 fretboard slabs. I Know these little pleasures are nice to have but will it leads us all down the path to 🦤🦣 Extinction 😅 just some food for thought. I once worked on a Famous Yacht called the Trump Princess. It Had a cinema on board to seat around 25 people and the walls were upholstered in Elephant 🐘 leather from floor to ceiling throughout the whole auditorium. Can we not also use other materials that are more sustainable. Think of the Rain Forrest and how much time we've got left. Rock and Roll is our only Salvation 😄 . Thanks. Take care Rob. Best regards. John. 😺.
Hi John, thanks for your comment, Chapman guitars is absolutely mindful and dedicated to things like carbon footprint, taking care of the planet but only do we adhere to all of the strict policy around the product including things like CITES and Rohs compliance- but we also make sure we are carbon zero.
Having set all of that Rosewood is Hardy and fast growing there is a plentiful supply in south India and we are honoured to be able to work directly with the local suppliers putting the money back into the population who are ultimately looking after the trees.
@@RobChappers Hi Rob Thanks for your reply .I wish you well with your new guitars. I admire your pioneering innovative creations. And also the way you have made them accessible to a lot of up and coming Guitars. The hand the Rocks the guitar is the hand that rules the world 🌎. Best regards. John.
2 days after. The Thoman link shows no guitars for sale.
Guardian release, soon?
Might we get rosewood necks on other models, or is it a lawmaker thing for now?
It’s definitely something I’m looking into, yep Guardian is released soon
What is the black chapman guitar behind you. Never seen that. New prototype?
That’s the Chapman guardian, we launched it at NAMM this year - it will be available in a few months time
Is the wood sustainably grown and harvested? What’s the scale length on the baritone?
Yes, we have to adhere to strict policies about that kind of thing - Chapman is also carbon zero or as close as possible
The Lawmaker baritone is 28” scale length 🤘🏽
Why don't you have a 5 or 7 layer neck ? Should provide the best stability and sustain ...
Indian Rosewood has a Janka hardness of around 1800 lbf (Pound force) so it doesn’t need that kind of structure.
Just as an example Maple sits at 1400 lbf, mahogany only around 900 lbf
@@RobChappers Thanks !
is it legacy of Bea ?
What is the black guitar in the background? Thanks.
That is a Chapman Guardian, new guitar available soon
@@RobChappers Thanks!
Just dont know how much tought is being put in the reflorestation of such areas. The same as brazilian rosewood become more and more scarse, soon we will not have any more of those trees to have beatiful instruments.
Could I tune the baritone to Eb? Longer scale lengths means the strings will be tighter than standard, right? So does that mean I'd want thinner guage strings than my normal to compensate? That doesn't seem right. What have I got wrong?
Baritone guitars are used to tune much lower, standard baritone tuning is B standard.
€500 for a neck yep just a little pricey.
What’s the black guitar sitting on the couch?
On the right? Guardian/ML4
It's been in a few vids (especially around NAMM time, and Digital John) but oddly it's not on the website yet, nor have they switched from model numbers to names that was also talked about. So maybe neither has quite happened yet.
The Chapman Guardian, will be with dealers in a few months time 🤘🏽
@@RobChappersgiven that it’s called a Guardian, I would love to see that with a pick guard. Maybe there’s a way to have a flat top version with a guard,
selects the timber and has to look out for Tigers? Man that's a job I wouldn't want 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not a lifetime ago but an hairtime. 😂
Does he mean China?
This poor woman must wash her hair 11 times a week😅
Your necks are to flat. A flat kneck u bending against all the string tension. A more rounded radius like 7.5 you are bending up & over. Way more control and feel. U will find it will make u are far better player.
