I couldn't be more thankful to Rabea for his friendship, guidance and amazing design contributions throughout our 10 years plus of working together, it's been an amazing journey! Please join me in wishing Bea luck where ever he ends up next! Also if you're interested in the ML2 Pro Custom that mark built he has an in-depth video about it over at his channel: www.youtube.com/@PherotoneStudios/videos
Excellent stuff Rob & Bea, much well wishes and seasonal greetings for everyone. Ps- Rob, I didn't perchance inspire this, following our little chat on Insta a little while back haha.
I discovered you, Bea, and the whole Andertons gang back in a dark time personally. One in which I was still a just few years shy from my eventual triumph over a decades long battle with addiction, just divorced from a brutally toxic marriage, and was room mating with an alcoholic younger cousin (who sadly died of cancer last year). I'm doing much better by the way, and also became a dad during my fandom viewership. He's just turned 9 this year. Jeez. Time flies am I right?! Anyway, I remember the first video I discovered you on like it was yesterday, The Orange Micro Terror. I eventually bought one as a micro full stack with 2 of the 8" Orange cabs! In closing, I just want express wholeheartedly my sincere thanks and gratitude to you, Bea, and the whole Anderton's YT channel back then for inspiring me to not give up on my own musical endeavors, and for unwittingly providing much needed laughter and smiles to someone who, at the time? Was desperately in need. Cheers Rob, and a very happy New Year to you and yours! 🤟
Bro, this means so much to me, to even be a tiny part of anything that helped you through such a difficult time really means the world. I hope you have an amazing year and hopefully we get the chance to meet :-)
@@RobChappers I'm also one of those who remembers your first videos and gosh did this comment bring nostalgia. You were instrumental in my journey of really understanding guitars and music during a period of my life that was.. hopeless to say the least. You Chappers, Bea, and the Andertons family all have brought me great joy and entertainment through your content and music, in a time where I was lost and didn't know what to do with my life. I've since been working in a dream organization for the past few years, only to find now that I want to seriously make my music and do what I've been putting off for so long. I can only say I envy people like you who do what you love, but now I'm thinking I should start by just making music, what I love doing. I'm happy to see your support for Bea and I'm happy that he's continuing his pursuit of doing what he loves. I just wanted to leave a short "Me too! Thanks" comment after seeing this comment but I've rambled too long. Wish you all the best this year and for the many years to come!
Lovely to see all these good vibes. I enjoyed meeting the both of you on your American Guitar Center tour. Very sick looking customized ML2! My favorite parts are the custom color bridge invader and that beautiful pelham blue color on the reverse.
Super neat to see this pop up just as i was about to grab my guitar and jam some old Dorje tunes. I'm glad you and the other people in charge of Chapman Guitars are chill about what your artists do. Internet's gonna internet when it comes to the Bea thing, same as they did when Scallon left as a Chapman artist, but the important part is that the world is ever changing, as are the people in it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreetings! Rabea Massaad is my favorite guitar player on the planet. I discovered him from your channel around a decade ago. It's amazing how 20+ years ago, I would have probably never heard of any of you. Now, instead of finding my favorite guitarists at the record store, the radio, or on MTV (I know you're old like me and remember when they played music on MTV!), I'm finding insanely talented dudes all across the globe. GL Bea! GL Rob with your continued journies! You've been Rob, and I've been the commenter.
Mr. Chapman :) I used to watch YOU and Lee from Andertons doing crazy stuff :) I love your personality and your passion for music and instruments :) you showed me that anything is possible if you have a dream and work hard... also that if you want to accomplish the dream, you need to go your own way.. I´m looking forward to see news from you and to finally try one of your ax´s :) they weren´t widely available in my country until now :) :) wish YOU all the best sir Chapman :) sorry for my english :) greetings from Slovakia !!!
Rabea has and continues to be amazing. I was grateful to get to meet you and Rabea in Dallas Texas when you put on a clinic and you both signed my ML1 Pro. Wish you both nothing but good vibes!
All the love to Bea, Dorje was my first ever proper show at the exchange in Brizzle, I met you fully dreadlock adorned and I'm loving seeing chapman guitars make waves, first saw one out in the wild outside of dorje at a Bury Tomorrow gig in 2018, which was very a pleasant suprise.
I find it funny that all these internet trolls are saying you guys secretly hate each other or some dumb sh*t. Don’t listen to the trolls Rob. We love you. We love Rabea. Cheers
Thanks man, we are not really drama type dudes, more interested in Elden ring speed runs and which new amp we’re buying LOL… Bea and I will always be mates.
Good luck to Rabea and thank you Rob for sharing ! Your latest videos are very fun and just look like yourself. Will you make a video with the scenes that were cut after biting in all those fruits and vegetables and so ? I mean like a "bétisier" (can't find the translation now of that french word...). More seriously I enjoyed Rabea's video with the montage and also the fact that your friendship is still strong, that's cool !
Rabea is very fortunate to have friends like you and Lee. He decided to move on, and you guys support him 100%. To often, in this world, when someone makes a major change, they are accused of disloyalty. I gathered, from his video, that he is a bit nervous going on his own, but he's so glad to know that you are there for him, no matter what. Love like that is pretty rare, these days.👍🤘
Bea has accomplished so much and it’s amazing to see relationships like this thrive. You guys are clearly rooting for and supporting each other. This isn’t a cold room full of small print lawers. On a personal note, his weight loss journey a couple years back was astonishing. And Bea, you should be so proud of yourself. For everything you’ve done x
I've been watching you guys on RUclips for years. I have always wanted to learn how to play guitar from my teen years , but I couldn't afford it. And life got in the way. Then, in my 30s, I figured, it's now or never, and was able to buy a decent guitarnandnstart my journey as a guitarist. I watched all your videos on YT and they have taught me so much. Unfortunately, recent economic conditions forced me to sell all my gear, to pay the bills. And I am once again back in that place of watching guitar related content on YT every day, wanting to continue learning, yet not having the opportunity to afford a guitar. Anyway. I'm not giving up. I'm so looking forward to the day I can do it. I don't care how old I will be then. 😊 Keep up your great work.
Rabea and yourself were instrumental in me deciding to pick up the guitar and take it seriously, Dorje and Toska are such an important part of my Musical DNA. Years later, I have rewatching all your old tour and studio vlogs, and getting extremely nostalgic (even picked up bass recently after seeing Dave.). I am so excited for Rabea to be able to explore his bounds and find his way in the world of music. Wherever he ends up I deeply hope your worlds clash again musically, I know distance can be a strain, but I would love to hear you two collaborating in a band again. Thank you both.
G'day Rob, just thought I'd share my story of meeting you. I spent a couple of hours at the local music shop and had a little chat with you and Matt, really appreciated the time you both spent with us punters and seeing that beautiful p90 ml3 for the first time was an experience. You have always come off as a dude to me and I have enjoyed watching your, and the rest of the Chapman team, journey over the years of watching your channel. I'm waiting on my ML3 Bea Baritone (the standard version as my nurses salary has gotta cover plenty of other expenses!) and honestly it has been a while since I have been this excited for a new guitar. It has been on my list for a while and I'm sad it took Bea's news for me to pull the trigger, but excited for him nonetheless. Truly incredible artist. The Very Thing is also fairly high up on that list too so hopefully it won't take any discontinuation for me to pull that trigger next. Anyway, just a ramble of my story of meeting you and my appreciation in your contribution to the whole world of music.
Great story. I’d heard the story of how you two met before - a serendipitous moment for both of you. When I saw Bea’s turn at the Leeds Reading festival, it was obvious to me that many more doors would open to him and he’d be a fool not to explore the opportunities. Good luck in the next stage of your career too - it seems you are also at an exciting point for exploring new ventures in the business.
Considering the internet is full of drama seeking keyboard warriors ! I would have given up years ago. Congrats @rob chapman for staying true to what you enjoy doing. Also in an alternative universe even if you and Rabea did fall out - that would be no one’s business but yours :)
Sad to see Bea go but truly excited to see who he works with in the future and what he makes! Super excited to see some purple ml3 type guitars from Pete! Have you considered doing more with Ben Wilshire again? Happy New Year Rob
Good to see there's no drama (although it would have been nice to see some type of squabble haha). Looking forward to seeing what comes of your other companies, especially the 7 and 8 string range!
Speaking of Dorje... I know the chances of you guys ever getting together again is slim to none, but... I do believe you guys were demoing new songs. Any chance these will ever be availble? Maybe even the stems to let people take a pop at mixing. Obvioulsy aware that they'll be scrappy, but I can't be the only person who would love to hear what you guys were working on. I'm sure some of the riffs and hatnot would have been used for other projects, but OI really love to hear them. Anyway... All the best to you and yours.
I love this video. So much garbage rumors and posts going around on the Internet about this whole thing. Sometimes things are just the way they are and there is no deeper dramatic story behind it.
I saw that guitar and I instantly wanted it. Cool inlays on most the frets, check! Arch top, check! Transparent top, check! Contrasting color on the back, check! Cool as Rob pickup set, check! Holy tone wood man! Ticking all the boxes. Why can’t Chapman make this model??? Make it for me! Lol. I would actually add a few things but man, what is a super cool guitar.
The Chris Roberts prs sig is a cracking guitar and so hard to find now day, when I saw he was going to Chapman I was excited to say the least, can’t wait to see what comes of it
I wish all the best to both chapman guitars and Rabea. I couldn't really get used to the stainless steel frets on chapman pro models but bought a ml3 p90 trad to replace ml3 pro modern that i had before and i absolutely love it. Chappers if you see this please make couple of Chapman Pro models with nickel frets i really would love a ml1 pro hybrid with nickel frets and good ol' sunburst finish.
@@RobChappers yep and your standard models are really good so i'm atm considering buing ml1 hybrid standard and upgrading it with seymor duncans. But yeah both the pro and standards are built great. Im 20 and student atm so i probably need to save up for some time before buying the workshop models, but they do look very good so maybe student loan will cover that😁
my god you need to make the Pherotone Custom ML2 Pro real! i love me small body symmetrical doublecuts - Danelectro 59, Gretsch double Jets, Yamaha SG200s. YES, i love them all make this so!
I love you both Rob. Rabea can really make magic with a Strat. I absolutely love his feel and his tone just makes the hair on my arms and neck stand erect. I see nothing but love amongst you guys. And oh, that modified Chapman is stunning. Love the kind of aged burst top with the Pelham Blue back. What a great touch. Huge high five from the US 🙌
That’s b.s. man! Ima stop listening to Bea’s music!(listing to toska) lmao. I don’t think you can kill this friendship, lots of history here. You guys are awesome much love, mahalos.
Are you sure you are not an brutosauros descendent? :) If I'm honest, I used to watch Anderton's videos for your group dinamic and fine playing. Its just not the same anymore. I hope the guys do the ocasional meet up and goofing around video. Cheers
I have often wondered what having an endorsement would be like. Through being the "house guitarist" at an open-mic, a "hired gun" session guitarist, and several bands, some guitars have very much become associated with me. That said, I have come to realize I could never stay with a single brand long enough TO qualify for a formal endorsement. My setup seems to be a 5-year rotating door. I was all about MusicMan for 5 years, Ibanez for 5 years, ESP/LTD for 5 years, Chapman for 5 years, and now Paul Reed Smith. So, I completely understand Rabea wanting to branch out, and see what else is out there. Best of luck to him.
Kinda weird to choose to make a video that should be 100% focused on the good memories, and affirmation of good friends. But chose to fill it with distractions like "look at these pedal settings that nobody actually cares about" .... "oh look a custom Chapman guitar" and at the end, "look at all these new Chapman artists".... kinda deflected what should have been a really meaningful video.. But that's just how I viewed it..
What a complete odd thing to make a comment complaining about. Bea isn't dead, this wasn't a eulogy, he was just telling a story about how he met his bro. What's the big deal?
I was really hoping you would make a video faking drama and being mad at him and making wild accusations that had nothing to do with music or guitar. I guess reflecting on a beautiful friendship/ partnership with a wonderful person will have to do.
Ha ha yeah sorry, no drama here - just friends. Nothing really has changed between us other than we won’t be making product together, at the moment he regularly gives me tips on Elden Ring LOL
I couldn't be more thankful to Rabea for his friendship, guidance and amazing design contributions throughout our 10 years plus of working together, it's been an amazing journey! Please join me in wishing Bea luck where ever he ends up next!
Also if you're interested in the ML2 Pro Custom that mark built he has an in-depth video about it over at his channel: www.youtube.com/@PherotoneStudios/videos
I really enjoyed the montage he did, top guy, amazing musician and all round decent human being
Excellent stuff Rob & Bea, much well wishes and seasonal greetings for everyone.
Ps- Rob, I didn't perchance inspire this, following our little chat on Insta a little while back haha.
We definitely need a run of "ML2 Pro Pherotone" guitars
Thank you for sharing this peek into your friendship with Rabea and the mutual respect that you have for each other. Wishing everyone a great 2023!
Happy 2023!!
So cool to see the next adventures for Rabea and Chapman Guitars!! Happy New Year and good luck!!
I discovered you, Bea, and the whole Andertons gang back in a dark time personally. One in which I was still a just few years shy from my eventual triumph over a decades long battle with addiction, just divorced from a brutally toxic marriage, and was room mating with an alcoholic younger cousin (who sadly died of cancer last year).
I'm doing much better by the way, and also became a dad during my fandom viewership. He's just turned 9 this year. Jeez. Time flies am I right?!

Thank you Rob and Bea for sharing such a beautiful relationship in the music industry.
That guitar looks amazing!! Love that the neck pick up has the fender vibe. Love it!!
❤❤❤ legend :) thank you dude
I want you to know that you are the only man I would ever eat raw garlic for LOL
Man,I LOVE the double cut you are playing in the video! Beautiful.

Nice one. Digging the good vibes, true friendship - and a drama free internet :-)
Love this, Rob. Best wishes to you and the Chapman team. I’m in the market for a t-style - it’ll likely be a Chapman 😊
Nice Rob - very gracious, congrats to Rabea.
I find it funny that all these internet trolls are saying you guys secretly hate each other or some dumb sh*t. Don’t listen to the trolls Rob. We love you. We love Rabea. Cheers
Thanks man, we are not really drama type dudes, more interested in Elden ring speed runs and which new amp we’re buying LOL… Bea and I will always be mates.
@@RobChappers Oh man Elden Ring rules. Hardest game ever. I find it legit terrifying to play sometimes. Especially my first run through.
Machinehead was in Hitchin. World Guitars is in Stonehouse in Gloucestershire. Both were owned by Jeff.
Good luck Rabea! The video was quirky and funny! Keep up the good work!
The garlic 😂😂😂 the dramatic pause before you chowed down. I was in tears. Legend
LOL, thank you so much for your incredible work on this guitar man :-)
I’m talking in the talking box…Congrats & good luck Rabea!!! As always, love ya brother!!!
this video was unexpectedly well shot rob! and cute to boot 😅 love both of you. I'm trying so hard to grab a bea sig while i can, wish me luck!
Hi Rob, I just got my ML2 pro azure blue delivered from andertons and I have to say this thing is awesome!
Awesome story. Thanks for the video
This was a great video Happy New Year
Good luck to Rabea and thank you Rob for sharing ! Your latest videos are very fun and just look like yourself.

More seriously I enjoyed Rabea's video with the montage and also the fact that your friendship is still strong, that's cool !
Ha ha maybe I could make a blooper reel - by the way, all of the food is collected in cooked later the same day :-)
The ML2 looks great in a doublecut configuration. Love it!
You can see Rob bracing before taking a bite into the garlic! 😂 God, that was funny!

If that ml2 becomes a shape I’m all over it!!!
Graciousness & crudités, good vibes!♧
I had a Vintage guitar ... never knew they were from England !
Cool im getting to watch this after only being available after 1 min.
I've been watching you guys on RUclips for years. I have always wanted to learn how to play guitar from my teen years , but I couldn't afford it. And life got in the way.

I'd love to see this as a production model.🤘🤘
Love your content
G'day Rob, just thought I'd share my story of meeting you. I spent a couple of hours at the local music shop and had a little chat with you and Matt, really appreciated the time you both spent with us punters and seeing that beautiful p90 ml3 for the first time was an experience. You have always come off as a dude to me and I have enjoyed watching your, and the rest of the Chapman team, journey over the years of watching your channel.
I'm waiting on my ML3 Bea Baritone (the standard version as my nurses salary has gotta cover plenty of other expenses!) and honestly it has been a while since I have been this excited for a new guitar. It has been on my list for a while and I'm sad it took Bea's news for me to pull the trigger, but excited for him nonetheless. Truly incredible artist.

Also in an alternative universe even if you and Rabea did fall out - that would be no one’s business but yours :)
Sad to see Bea go but truly excited to see who he works with in the future and what he makes! Super excited to see some purple ml3 type guitars from Pete!
Have you considered doing more with Ben Wilshire again?
Happy New Year Rob
Well done! 🎸🎸
Good to see there's no drama (although it would have been nice to see some type of squabble haha). Looking forward to seeing what comes of your other companies, especially the 7 and 8 string range!
Also I've never seen anybody bite into garlic like a brute! I can't imagine the after burn 😂
Cheers dude, currently working on a seven string that I want to call Fluffy!!
I would sell my Lester Pablo for one o those double cut ml2’s. Just throwing that out there. Great work, Chappers!
Two huge huge endorsements 🔥
Rob Chapman, you are a great man!
Speaking of Dorje... I know the chances of you guys ever getting together again is slim to none, but... I do believe you guys were demoing new songs. Any chance these will ever be availble?

Holy s*** batman! Is that a Chapman double cut? Ooooooh that looks awesome!
It’s a Customized ML2 Pro by the amazing Mark at Pherotone studio
@@RobChappers he's done stunning work. A Chapman DC/SG would be awfully tempting if they became production models
You guys met in a bar boom! Didnt even have to watch
🤘

That Yngwie riff sounds great on the ML2!
Yeah man it really bites!

Just here to say Dorje is one of my favorite bands ever. There is not one day I dont listen some Dorje

That settles it. Rob is not a vampire.
Or… fake Garlic?

And oh, that modified Chapman is stunning. Love the kind of aged burst top with the Pelham Blue back. What a great touch.
Huge high five from the US 🙌
I didn't know the history between you guys. I always thought Rabea worked at Andertons and thats how you guys met.
Cool
That’s b.s. man! Ima stop listening to Bea’s music!(listing to toska) lmao. I don’t think you can kill this friendship, lots of history here. You guys are awesome much love, mahalos.
Is it even possible to not like Rob? That whole Anderton's rat pack just seem to be all about fun. Good luck to all this year
Love this ‘Anderton’s Rat Pack’
Yes, highly likely.
I knew you'd curse Bea for leaving! Or did I get something wrong?
You showed your kindness. Well done!
Are you sure you are not an brutosauros descendent? :) If I'm honest, I used to watch Anderton's videos for your group dinamic and fine playing. Its just not the same anymore. I hope the guys do the ocasional meet up and goofing around video. Cheers
You need to make that into the next Chapman guitar!!!
That garlic would’ve burnt like hell 🥴😂
Really funny ! Nice Story !i wish Robert good luck!
I have often wondered what having an endorsement would be like. Through being the "house guitarist" at an open-mic, a "hired gun" session guitarist, and several bands, some guitars have very much become associated with me.
That said, I have come to realize I could never stay with a single brand long enough TO qualify for a formal endorsement. My setup seems to be a 5-year rotating door. I was all about MusicMan for 5 years, Ibanez for 5 years, ESP/LTD for 5 years, Chapman for 5 years, and now Paul Reed Smith.
So, I completely understand Rabea wanting to branch out, and see what else is out there. Best of luck to him.
Didn't you tell us that in an Anderton's video some years ago? It's a cool story.
Rob, I have one of your guitars you might be interested in.
that ml-2 pro needs a new desination. it is now the ML-2SB/ screaming baboon. cause that baby howls ( in a goods way)
Kinda weird to choose to make a video that should be 100% focused on the good memories, and affirmation of good friends. But chose to fill it with distractions like "look at these pedal settings that nobody actually cares about" .... "oh look a custom Chapman guitar" and at the end, "look at all these new Chapman artists".... kinda deflected what should have been a really meaningful video.. But that's just how I viewed it..
Oh Rob definitely isn't misunderstood, he's had his moments
Totally agree
What a complete odd thing to make a comment complaining about. Bea isn't dead, this wasn't a eulogy, he was just telling a story about how he met his bro. What's the big deal?
You should make a guitar with that bodyshape and just one humbucker on the bridge.
I was really hoping you would make a video faking drama and being mad at him and making wild accusations that had nothing to do with music or guitar. I guess reflecting on a beautiful friendship/ partnership with a wonderful person will have to do.
Ha ha yeah sorry, no drama here - just friends. Nothing really has changed between us other than we won’t be making product together, at the moment he regularly gives me tips on Elden Ring LOL
The garlic 😂
Will the Bea sigs continue to be produced now?
I think Rob/Bea answered similar on Instagram. Production already ended. What's out there at retailers today is all that's left.
Put that shape into production with p90 and parallel vol and tone and I'm in.
