All questions provided by you, our amazing Instagram followers. Without further ado, let’s begin…
We released our first two last year (in Obsidian Black and Vintage Honey Burst) and we’re so proud of them. I’m sure there’ll be more to come at some point…
We try to make sure there’s something in the range for everyone – both by spec and price point. My personal favourite is the ML1 Pro Modern!
We’d love to! If enough people want to see it (and vote for it) we’ll do it!
We’re working on it right now – this is probably the model I’m most excited about this year!
New V2 Standard Series ML1 Traditional! With our awesome new factory up and running own, we’ll be working on a wider range of options for the Standard series in the future.
I was talking to Chapman Guitars design manager Dave (Hollingsworth) the other day about this, he swears by 7/8at all times – so at least one person!
Yes!
So do I! Lots of new colours in the works – can’t say too much now, but keep an eye on the voting page on our site…
We will absolutely do this at some point. What would you like to see?
Would love to – we have the best time! Great music, great people – I love the humour too!
Cool idea…though Andertons is very close!
We’re always looking for new artists – drop us a message via our site!
The ML1 Modern Baritone in Graphite. Always thought it was interesting that a baritone tops the list!
It would be cool to do. I love acoustics. Rob, Lee and I have talked a bit about it – there’s so many brands out there so I think it’s important to find a cool way to be different, not just do it for the sake of it.
Sure – what would you like to see…?
We’ve been trying out some cool ideas with exotic woods recently. Some cool news coming soon…
Rob Scallon has an 8-string signature with us!
We’re proud to have brought out two pedals and a new brand – Snake Oil Fine Instruments – at NAMM 2019! No immediate plans for Chapman pedals, but Snake Oil is a Chapman brand!
This idea has been floated! See photo evidence below…
Yes! We ran a lefty specific vote a while back – currently 5 in the range (3 Pro, 2 Standard) in colours different to the right-handed models.
The Standard Series, built in Indonesia, is priced around £450. The Pro/Signature Series, built in Korea, is priced around £750-£1250.
Here you go – a sneak peek of my two favourites in one photo! (Chapman British Standard ML3, Fender Custom Shop Telecaster)
Compromise! When you set out with a new design concept, you sometimes have to make changes to hit a certain price point. This can be the most obscure/uninteresting reason too, like import costs for a particular component or material.
The good thing is we’ve definitely become better at this over time. I’ve visited many suppliers over the last few years to understand all the processes, options and costs so we can always try to make the best guitars for the money.
There are no daft questions! Baritone guitars are awesome – They just have a longer scale length than normal guitars, so they’re lower in pitch. They sound great.
You mean this one? I’m a huge fan!
As well as Andertons, we work with retailers all over the world – check out our site for more details!
