WHAT IS GOING ON WITH CHAPMAN GUITARS, SECRET 2023 IBANEZ RELEASES & SCHECTER GETS JOHN BROWNE??

[agufish]

The last place to hear all the latest guitar news, ASKgufish is back!!

[hxclambfan]

It cracks me up literally Everytime you say something off beat followed by "we move" 😂

[benlogan]

Chapman needs a new mission statement. They are not the company they started as and haven’t figured out what type of company they are yet.

[jcmoore]

Chris Robertson being a signature artist and getting a model for Chapman should be a great deal. His PRS signature sold really well and I think it’ll be safe to say the Chapman will too.

[matejmikulcic]

I am so proud of John Browne to have a sig with a schecter. He is my favorite guitarist, just a bit sad that its so expensive

[jseaux]

I asked about the SRC6MS on your last video too! I got mine in pre-order the the day it announced.

[davidtomkins]

Chapman is a brand that has so far been built upon the cult of personality. You buy one to be ‘in the club’ with rob, rabea, andertons etc. They are also a headstock branding exercise. They have no factory of their own, the guitars are made in a factory making lots of other brands and just have their spec options and name put on the headstock. Scallon’s signature 8 string was a Schecter in all but name. Now that the cult of personality with chapman is over, they need to find a new selling point.

I don't have any issues with Chapman guitars but I kind of don't understand how they currently fit in the guitar market. At first it was a mix of novelty and cheap user driven spec'd guitars that were better bang for the buck than others. It feels like that's gone, both the novelty and honestly there are more affordable options now. Not really sure what their brand is about now.

Yo! Just a quick tidbit: Bea no longer uses Line 6 variax stuff for frogleap. Hes shown off his touring board for Frogleap recently, and its just a Quad Cortex, a Microcosm, and a fuzz pedal.

[hammyjammies]

Ariel Posen, Kirk Fletcher, Chris Buck and the fine folks at Baroness are those who I think should be considered for sigs, the first three sound good with anything in their hands and deserve it while Gina and John are another flying the flag for heavy riffs with fenders so another possible option for the bigwigs there

[scottalcott]

The Tao is extremely close to the KM MKIII with a MKII headstock. Looks pretty sick. Wonder if Merrow has something new in the works.

[jeanlessisjeanless]

King Buzzo deserves a signature Les Paul Custom. Yes, he already has signatures from EGC, but for the majority of his career he's donned many of them and Gibson even had him on an episode of Riff Lords. It's absurd that he hasn't gotten recognition from any other guitar company.

[alpeterson]

Chapman Guitars has two major issues:

1-Rob Chapman.

2- they aren’t offering anything special. Other brands do anything they’ve done or claim to do, so it better, bigger names and cheaper.

[BigPhi]

That Ibanez Prestige RGA622XH in the background is such a tease! 😲

[Tomurow]

'My luthier, Wendle...', sounds like something a court lutist might say in the the middle ages... 😏

[MrJingles]

I can't wait to see what Rabea does next. I love your channel, but watching him improvise with a new pedal or guitar is astounding.

[mrbeanbeany]

I fucking love John Browne's guitar playing and I'm not a big fan of signature guitars but I absolutely want a Tao 6.

[svalentine]

Rabea has been using an NDSP quad cortex with his JP, Chapman signatures and Mayones duvell for the last frog leap shows. He said that while the shuriken and line 6 combo worked, there was too much latency. The pitch shift utility of the quad cortex seemed to have less for him.

[flapjack]

That 7 string half fretless bass was goddamn

[beautague]

Guitarmory pickups are the shit, I'd love to get a cerberus guitar soon
