Thank ya kindly sir 🫡

Two UK Legends right here! 😎😎👍✨
Nice editing as always Steve and thanks for the shout out ❤
Thank YOU Rich! 😀🙏 I've still not had a chance to play that Guitar yet 🙈
Handy short vid there, good to get the vib of the place, hand for Chapman too, good banter 😅
Thank ya very kindly mate 😀🙏 Got more vids from the show in the pipeline 👍
Nice one, mate. That Black Stone Cherry signature guitar looks niiice!
Cheers John! 😀🙏
I didn't expect you'd like that one, but yeah it's definitely very well put together 👍
Really enjoyed the chat with Chappers, Steve.... Think you should tap him for a discount for the free publicity! ;)
Cheers mate! 😀 I tend to buy anything over £300 second hand - Maybe he can get me some eBay vouchers 😂🤞
@@stevecassidyguitar 🤣🤣🤣
Great interview of the ManChappers! I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion of the ML1! Omg BirmingNAMM is hilarious! 😂😂😂
Ha! Thank you Marsha 😀🙏 I'm actualy just getting round to playing it right now. I need to put lighter strings on it - but we've got some good potential here 😎👍
All the new Chapman guitars are nicely done as are the models that preceded them, the ghost fret classic looks amazing! Thanks for sharing Steve! Looks like you had a blast & you got to meet Rob! Cheers!
Thank ya mate - The whole weekend was a blast, but this was definitely a highlight for me 😀👍
@stevecassidyguitar Glad to hear it & I could tell you were truly enjoying yourself and good to see you took a photo with Richard another great guy just like Rob & yourself of course!
@@dragan4658 Thank ya mate - Yeah man Rich is an absolute Gentleman - was great to meet him too - I'm a big fan of his channel 😎👌
He seems like a decent chap, man.
Ha! 😂👌 I see what ya did there 🤓
Looks like you had a blast! Great interview and opportunity to meet Rob. His work with Lee made it possible to make guitar reviews entertaining. I think you bring the same energy to your videos so I hope your channel continues to grow! Looking forward to your future BirmingNAMM coverage.
Thank ya very much mate 😃🙏
Yes indeed - it was a great weekend 😃
And you're right totally right about the old Andertons vids - I've been enjoying them for years too 😃👍
Rob seems like a stand up guy.
I'm sad I wasn't able to make it out to Birmingham for this one. I'll catch ya at the next one!
He was indeed - I was impressed 😎👍
I'll definitely be there next year - So we'll see ya there 😀👍
Brilliant vid!! 👍👍
Hoggzilla!!!! Cheers mate! 😀🙏
Great stuff. I really like the lawmaker aka rabea model guitar
Cheers mate. Yeajh I think that one was my favourite of the bunch too 😎👌
Fun video, well done Steve👍🏼🎸🤘🏼🎸
Cheers mate! 😃🙏Was loads of fun for me too 😃
Fantastic stuff Steve, just home from a gig and giving this a watch. Love it
Cheers Graeme! Much appreciated mate 😀🙏 Hope the gig went well 😀👍
Excellent video Steve - 'mon the beardies!
Ha! Cheers mate! 😆👍
I think the beardies out numbered the non-beardies there 😂
Currently doing a voiceover for the next one and just spotted that. 👍
Fun interview, Steve! Manchap has a nice sense of humour!
Thank Ya Cal! Agreed that was a super fun encounter with the OG 😀👍
Good to see Rob Chapman again, it's been awhile for me anyways. I never understood the *HATE* he seemed to attract from certain personality types. Rob is a self-made man who loves music and guitars, a great musician running a great guitar company, which actually LISTENS to players and incorporates their ideas (when right). Besides all that, he has a great sense of humor and always a good attitude. I still don't have a Chapman guitar yet, but that will be rectified soon. Being an old traditionalist in music and instruments, it will likely be his improved version of the telecaster - the original solid guitar design. Cheers!
Well said mate - couldn't agree more!
He's a grafter - no denying that 😎👍
Big respect to the Chap Man
Great stuff Steve I could get down to the Birmingham show, maybe next year!
Cheers mate! I'll see ya there! 😃👍
I have ML1 and I absolutely love it.
Nice one! (ML one that is 😜) . It's a standard ML1 hybrid I've got here - Had a wee play on it last night - great first impressions so far 😀👍
Rob Manchap! Love it! Waiting for that ML1 review.
Thank ya mate! 😁🙏 The ML1 vid is in the pile of to do vids 🙈
I have an ML1 Baritone (2nd gen, he's now on the third gen) and I know you're going to love it already. He doesn't mess about.
@@-processdrone- Awesome - I do love a Baritone 😁👍 Cheers mate - I hope you're right 😀
Nice one mate 👍🏻🎸
Thank ya pal! 😀🙏
Haha, braw wee interview and video Steve! Last time I was there was 2020, on the other side of the counter though.
Cheers Chris😀. Hope you're doing well mate 🙏
Who were you working with in 2020? 😀
@@stevecassidyguitar Doin great thanks. I was there with Modulus Amplification, that's my day job.
@@Chris_Mckean Nice one mate - Will have to check em out 😀👍
you should know I've seen pics of you in various Birmingham Guitar Show stuff already. You're getting known and recognised as a UK creator . Really nice of Rob Chapman to take part, but I've been aware of him for many years and I think he knows whoever is in front of him matters and embraces it.
EDIT, Wait what? the way you mic'ed this up left several big guitar youtubers in the dust! I'm going to have to put on a hat , just so I can take it off again!
Wow mate! Thank ya kindly for saying! 😀🙏
and totally... I'm still amazed Rob took the time to chat - very cool of him 😎👍
Great video mate well done 👍👍🤠🎸
Thank ya Chuck 😀🙏
if you dinna ask, then you dinna get. 😄
cant fault the instruments either, love my chapman.
Too right mate 😂👍
I've just very recently picked one up - Not had a chance to spend much time with it yet tho 😅 First impressions are very good though 👍
Hope this gets you the subscribers you deserve, your channel is awesome. Rob is a decent dude to come and comment afterwards too.
Thank ya kindly mate 😀🙏 and yes totally agree The Chapman has been hugely generous with his time and attention here - Respect! 😎👊
👍❗😊✨✨
😃🙏
The white tele 😍😍
😎👌
That lawmaker looks great. Also I do exactly the same with microwaves
They should change the label of the 30secs button to "Coffee" 😜
This was definitely better than I expected!😎👍✨
Phew! 😅 So glad to hear that - Thank ya mate! 😀👍
@@stevecassidyguitar
I definitely had fun writing on the train with intermittent wifi up to the show. I'm happy that it turned out better than I was hoping as a fan of the channel.
@@gringogreen4719 Me too! 😀 and Agreed.. Train WiFi is indeed - not fun 😐👎
good stuff man! if you got more videos of the guitar show please upload for us that could not make it:)
On it mate! Hopefully have the big long one up for this friday 😅🤞
Love Rob's positivity. Some damn good looking guitars. Thanks for sharing the experience with us bro. Well done!!
Thank ya mate! 😃🙏 And yeah, the positive vibes are infectious 😎👌
Rob seems like a great chap man !!, fun video, Steve you got more interviews from the guitar show coming up? 😄
Yeah he was super sound - very generous with his time and attention 🙏 and yeah more interviews coming up with Jonny Budget Guitar Show, The Lamb, Rafael Jesus, Budget Pedal Chap & Jet Guitars 😀 That should take us into 2025 😂
They look a great range of guitars. About the microwave, though - nothing wrong with a cold coffee! ☕️ 😂
Ha! I wouldn't know mate - My coffee doesn't stand a chance to get cold 😜
@@stevecassidyguitar 🤣
Was my third time to Birmingham, 2nd time as an exhibitor. Had a great time. I remember seeing you wandering around, but I had no idea who you were so didn't say hi. I will next time. Do you have much more footage to show?
Nice one mate! 😀 Who were you exhibiting with?
I do have more stuff filmed, but I can only manage to get one vid out per week currently 😬
I didn't really spend enough time at any of the booths though - with it being my first time i was a bit too excited 🙈
@@stevecassidyguitar I had my own (Franklyn Guitars) on stand 80 with the Boutique Guitar collective. If you're in at either the Bristol or Brighton show come and have a peruse and a chat. I might even have some Quality Street on offer :) Look forward to see the rest of your coverage.
@@ChrisFranklyn I nice one mate! I've got a wee bit of footage of the Boutique Guitar Collective - It was part of a walkthrough so not long 😬 But a good chance something of yours will be on this Fridays vid - If I can get it finished in time🙈
Some very cool pieces on that stall 😎👌
The geetar show were mega!
Some incredible builders and gear there.
Some of them chappers were a bit nice, didnt get a chance to noodle on em though (being the sheer wuss i am now days).
Can honestly say the show were better this year than last n last year it were mint :)
Nice one mate - Shame I didn't see ya there! I was also too scared to play anything... until day 2. But I only used headphones 🙈
@@stevecassidyguitar im kicking myself because i saw someone who looked remarkably like you but was thinking to meself "nah he was here yesterday it cant be him" n didnt have the bottle to come up n ask... bugger!
Hope your well though sir :)
@@AnimalJohn85 Aww mate! Bummer! Catch ya next time! 😀👍
Do they have 7.5 radius and full sz jumbos stainless steel frets
To be totally honest, I'm not massively clued up on the entire catalogue 😬 But...
I don't "think" they've done 7.25" radius. But you'll certainly find several models with Jumbo SS frets 😀
What you're asking for is very difficult to find on any brands production models. I've been looking for Stainless Steel frets on a 9.5" radius for a couple of years and that's really hard to find too.
You can get close with an EART Corsair - They do 7.25" - 9.5" compound radius, but the frets aren't mega jumbo iirc.
Good luck on your search mate 😎🙏
Was that Ed at 7.59 😀
Ed Sheeran? Nah.. I don't think so 🤯
I’ve no interest in Chapman guitars but I enjoyed your video, mate. Subbuteo +1 👍
Thank ya kindly mate! 😀🙏 Love the username btw 😂👌
Very few people get the Subbuteo reference - I was considering ditching it 🙈
When I first started playing, one of my mates gave me a few lessons to get me started, and he said I played like I had parsnips for fingers 😂. I did have to double take at the Subbuteo but it made me smile when I realised the pun. I like it, it’s quirky.
@@parsnipfingers Ha! Cheers mate! Hope your parsnip fingers haven't held back your playing too much 😆🤞
@@stevecassidyguitarI don’t think it’s helped to be honest. Maybe I should have some courgettes grafted on instead. I dunno, feel free to take a look and let me know - I’d be more than happy to make a living out of people paying me to stop!
@@parsnipfingers 😂🤣👌
Suscribe guys !!
Thank ya for this mate! 😀🙏
@@stevecassidyguitar You're very welcome amigo , i wish you a good holy month , Ramadan is starting , and i hope i will see the at least 200 000 suscribers that you deserve very soon , and going to watch your comparison between the JS 400 and a Fender Strat right now !!^^
Guys : SUSCRIBE !!
@@sirzembla4512 🙏You're too kind sir! All the best for Ramadan to ya mate 🙏
@@stevecassidyguitar Thanks a lot bro , your videos are excellent , period ....
Amin ...
Salam ....🙂
Dreadful man .KDH showed us what he is and he only gets worse
KDH is my no.1 Fave Guitar YT channel 😎👌
I was indifferent to Chapman & Chapman Guitars pre-show, but he definitely won me over in person
Not a Rob Chapman fan....like the early guitars....you're better than him Steve...
I completely get it mate, I know he's a bit of a Marmite guy for some. Pre the show, I was indifferent to Chappers and Chapman Guitars, but he definitely won me over after meeting in person. Very generous with his time, and he gave me some great YT advice too. I can't say he's not a grafter.
But still - Very kind of you to say mate 😀🙏
@@stevecassidyguitar you're a good man willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt. Don't change. Cheers!
