      Rob,you should really consider getting Natasha to do a guest spot on a Dorje tune or 2....Between the heaviness of the band & her amazing vocals,it has radio practically stamped on it..Maybe a duet between you 2, would probably be the cats tits!! I really dig the Red Tower tunage!!

  • @dmike03
    @dmike03 9 лет назад +138

    So many people knock guitars that are built in an Asian country. But from these videos Rob has been posting, it looks to me like there is so much quality control that goes into these guitars. Just as much if not more than USA made guitars.

      Thegood Guy
      Actually I would consider it stupid to think you have to spend 3 to 4 thousand dollars to get a nice guitar! I'm not saying USA guitars are crap, But do you really think that paying 5x the price is going to get you a guitar thats 5x better?

    • @livetyher6669
      @livetyher6669 9 лет назад

      dmike03 it's the quality of the wood that's all that matters it gives it better tone

    • @livetyher6669
      @livetyher6669 9 лет назад

      dmike03 like 10-13 + thousand dollar guitars sound way better than a 100 - 1000 dollar guitar

    • @ChuckNorrisCutsMyLaw

      Lets not get crazy now the guitars being made in Korea are good quality instruments, but they're not Les Paul Standards or PRS Customs

  • @L3Gutierrez
    @L3Gutierrez 9 лет назад +16

    I feel as though after seeing these last few documentary type videos, I have gained a better understanding of how guitars are made over seas and now I have come to appreciate the effort put in each one. I didn't really know how they were made before, but now that I do, I am glad. Now I'm going to appreciate the heck out of my Indonesian bass even more than before. Thanks Mr. Chappers 👍

    I am seriously floored by the quality and craftsman ship seen in these Korea videos. Everything to the smallest of details is taken in to account. I personally think that at this point, seeing all of this, that Chapman guitars will soon be as big, if not bigger, than Gibson or Fender. Way to go Rob! What you've done is incredible and I will for sure be buying one of these Ghost Frets.

    That brought back memories. I used to be a programmer/setter/operator, on cnc mills, a while back, mainly producing prototypes. It was so cool to see a 2 dimensional design become a 3d object. These guys have got there feeds and speeds spot on. No chatter marks, no burn, just a nice finish, tip of the hat to them.

    Just wanted to congratulate you Rob on your achievements so far. I saw your video where you said that your life used to be in shambles (alcohol/eating problems etc) and when I saw this video showing the birth of your new prototype guitar being made, really shows that you have come a very long way and have achieved so much. I must say that what you do is very inspiring to see and I wish you all the best with it mate!

  • @frankvanrijn964

    I'm still not a big fan of the headstock shape, but this one I would seriously consider buying! Keep us posted!

    • @sacredgeometry
      @sacredgeometry 9 лет назад +2

      I concur, its still the weakest link in their guitars I am almost considering doing some free design work for them and providing a few alternatives.

    • @9999plato
      @9999plato 9 лет назад

      I didn't take note of this guitars tuners but I hate the upside down tuner setup and will never buy a guitar that has that setup. Other than that they appear to be very competitive. Perhaps its time to introduce a model without the unconventional easily knocked out of tune upside down head stock. Isn't it just easier to tune with the tuners on top? Yeah, I have 3+3 and 3+2 instruments but 6 on the bottom doesn't work for me. My dollars, my opinion.

    • @adamhumphreys9605
      @adamhumphreys9605 9 лет назад +1

      I was the same, didn't like the reverse headstock, but I wanted a ml1 so bad I just forgot about it. So I can now say rid growing on me and I really like it.
      I think it's better for the neck having the heavier strings on more wood or whatever something to do with tension.
      I think don't kill me If I'm wrong

    • @sacredgeometry
      @sacredgeometry 9 лет назад +2

      Personally, I don't mind reversed headstocks (Hell! Look at the beauty that is a black machine). I do mind ones that have a horrible shape. Headstocks are the in most cases the thing that makes or breaks a guitar aesthetically.

    • @frankvanrijn964
      @frankvanrijn964 9 лет назад +2

      To be clear, my comment wasn't about the fact that the headstock is reversed, I really have nothing against that, I just don't like the shape. It's cool that it doesn't look like any other brand, it's unique in its design, it just doesn't do it for me. In some way it just doesn't appeal to me the same way other headstocks do. I do have my favorites, but I appreciate other brands as well and think their headstocks match their overall guitar design. That is - imho - the one thing missing in the design of all Chapman guitars... ;)
