I love how YouTube still pushes me random Chappers videos like 10-15years later every now and then. Great stuff!

All links are in the “more section”, (super appreciate anyone following my Spotify)

R.I.P Tom. Thanks for your contribution to the Chapman legacy.

I’d forgotten how cool Toms guitar looked!!

[christopheranderson]

you thought about catering to the “mod” crowd by offering a line of “base” guitars with just the neck and body to allow moders the ability to install their own hardware, electronics, and pickups? Heck, you could even do them with no finish for the people who want to put their own paint job to them. I love modding my guitars a bit, but not having to pay for hardware and the other bits that are just going to get swapped out would be ace! Just a

Love the push push pots better than the push pull ones.
Thanks Tom for your musical contribution and contributions to Chapman guitar. RIP 🌹

I remember watching those videos years ago, time flies!

Been wanting one since 2011 so now is my time to get one. Just ordered! Can't wait!! My first Chapman. FINALLY!

[GraemeCampbellMusic]

That Cap10 looks excellent. Congratulations that Chapman has been going so long and is still putting out great stuff. I do think you should release a lap steel for us Americana/country rock musicians and call it the "Chap-steel" :)

My then girlfriend, now wife, bought me a White ML3 Traditional about 5-6 years ago. I think at this point, outside of the string tree and the output jack, I have modded everything (now loaded with Duncans, push-pull wiring, new pots, locking tunes, new nut). It is still my number 1, beating out my PRS', Gibsons, and Custom James Tyler guitar. Such value for its price range. I get compliments on it and other guitarist asking me "What is that white guitar?" whenever I play it out at gigs.

I bought a Chapman Ghost Fret from Riff City Guitar in Minnesota just after release. I really loved that place, and found the guitar to be a well-made instrument of good design. Unfortunately, with Chapman moving to Guitar Center, and after Riff City had just opened a new store and with all the money they spent on getting ready to move their original store, the business was shut down. I don't know if it was an issue of bad timing, unrealistic expectations, or something else. Rumors tend to be rather one-sided, so I'm not sure I can ever really trust them. Regardless, it was a great store that disappeared.

Talk about the end of an era. RIP Riff City Guitar. Great people, great store.

Still have my ML1 in mint condition, never wanted t change anything about it. It's an art piece now and will remain a huge part of my guitar journey. Sad to hear Tom has passed, missed that one.

[aubindrive]

As a left handed guitarist i cant find a single left handed chapman guitar, but they look awesome. love the natural finishes

[BasementGuitarSuperstar]

There is a reason I own 4 Chapmans. All very well made and very playable out of the box. The only mod I’ve done is put Seymour Duncans in my ML1 hybrid. Other than that, I feel like they are perfect for what I’m doing.

[charlesharper]

Never heard a guitar company ask to see customer's mods. Seems their hearts are still in their products.🇺🇸⚔️🍕🍺👍

[gstmusic]

@RobChappers One model that I really got into was the ML Hot Rod. I still own 3 of the original 5. I also have an original CAP10. I have had several other models over the years. Your guitars have always proven to be fantastic. Thank you to all involved, including Lee, Bea, DP, and anyone else I may not know about.

[mrinvisible]

Such a Happy Chappy and Positive Inspiration ....❤

[JamesMears]

I have one of the earliest ML1 left handed guitars, it's great! RIP Tom

[Ramsesdgr]

I have a ML1 Pro from 2014 or 2016, which I absolutely love. Kept it totally stock and it's perfect.
