Chapman Guitars ML2 - Vote 3 - The One Vote To Rule Them All \m/

[gianniswildchild]

can i have a custom(V neck shape,EMGs,floyd rose,27 frets,flying v)?

[martinedverlaque]

hey rob when the 500 limited run goes will there be another run of the same guitar ?? :) \m/

[MrBIOSkunk]

no one has ever done this before - this is cool!

[MeanGreenMovies]

whats that epic riff at the end?

[mythic6199]

Will this be a set neck or bolt on neck guitar?

[willguitar83]

Set neck , 22 frets , dual humbucker with single coil in the middle , coil tappeble humbuckers , 5 way toggle , hardtail , naturel finish , and crome wardware , that would be Killer =D

[ashatan69]

Good guitar player....talks like a total c**k.

[ReaperOfMen]

If you do another vote for body shape for a different guitar sometime, a RR-style V would be awesome.

[curdisszero]

will it have a carved top or a flat top?

carved would be nice

and the neck isnt going to be too thin is it my friend has a ibanez rg serries and i find the neck a bit too thin so a little bit fatter than that would be also be nice... a vote maybe ?

i duno i'm not like telling you what to do or any thing but still...

[Exile262]

Hey Rob, Haziq here from Malaysia, how bout to save the trouble, you should put in locking tuners, because changing strings is a real pain in the ass

[benzakonium]

I'm surprised everybody is voting for the set neck option, it would awesome to have a mahogany single cut with a bolt on maple neck, best of both worlds. Surely it would be easier and cheaper to make meaning money could be spent elsewhere. Another option that would be great is a button to route the signal straight to the bridge humbuker, like the new Strats have and the Guthrie Govan Surh, more useful than a kill switch

[spicbuddha]

Coil tap and kill pot !

[nihility666]

2 volume and 1 tone?!

1 vol, 1 tone and pickup selector down the bottom :D

[BraydonSzafranski]

CHAPPERS! Did you DYE your hair?! Haha! I'm not ridiculing you, I just... wait - maybe I am? 

[MusicRockGuitar]

where are the videoresponces to that??

[Abradley1636]

hey rob how are you going to cut this one out?

[MusicRockGuitar]

wow man... this vid makes me rally wanna have one! luckily I did reserve one a while ago... :D chappers YOUR MAKING THIS REALLY GOOD, the whole colab. design thing I mean.

[weemankyle]

somebody please help me, why is it saying i have no videos when i try to respond with a video? its there!

[tneri8]

This sounds like an AWESOME interactive idea.

[eFlare1]

what's the neck profile going to be? and what are you thinking for pickups?

[RobChappers]

@eFlare1 Definately a modern C - thin enough to shred on ;-)

You will be able to have any pickup you like at all - I will explain next video.

[eFlare1]

@RobChappers Can't Wait!! \M/

[salisburysimon]

Not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown, not brown!!!!!!

[lauriemonk]

@salisburysimon brown please :)

[RobChappers]

@lauriemonk Ha ha haha h ;-)

[WoWAdmanGuitaring]

Single cut win. And all the extras will make this one awesome guitar............:P

[Arondo93]

ohhhhhhhhhhh my god i want one :P how much is the guitar going to cost. :) and also rob which do you think is better 2x12 cabs or 1x12 cabinets ? cant wait for this guitar to be made :)

[Arondo93]

ohhhhhhhhhhh my god i want one :P how much is the guitar going to cost. :) and also rob which do you think is better 2x12 cabs or 1x12 cabinets ? cant wait for this guitar to be made :)

[Arondo93]

ohhhhhhhhhhh my god i want one :P how much is the guitar going to cost. :) and also rob which do you think is better 2x12 cabs or 1x12 cabinets ?

[SirZozzo]

24 jumbo frets, scale 25, 2 cutaways, 2 vol + 1 tone, 5 ways switch, 2 humbucker, tremolo.... it seems the best guitar spec ^.^

[MattRing]

24 frets please Chappers, hot rodded Les Paul!!

[SSJ2Killua]

Why have so many people just voted to create an LP replica? If we're going for the LP shape, lets at least mix things up a little. Else there's no point in not just getting a second hand Tokai.

[xTiLkx]

what the

Nubs, vote for 2 tone pots. If you really don't like it, you can take one out and use the already made hole for a killswitch or w/e. And plz vote for pickup switch UNDER strings. Switches above the strings get in the way when you're tapping!

[Yowzow]

Did Chappers dye his hair? or is his hair darker?

[thesk8rman765]

Affordable customs, huh?

I see that either going absolutely amazing, or extremely horrible. It all comes down to who makes the guitars, I guess.

I'm interested, now you have to show me, or I'll die of anticipation. :P

Oh, and the ML2 looks pretty brutal, but I'm currently putting the 500 I have towards a new amp. Sorry, chappers. :\

[Adji87]

Voted mate!

[Deeablo24]

Chappers you are great. Thank you so much for doing this...i hope I´ll be one of the lucky 250. btw...do ou still have ml1 for sale? I´d like to be the first Dane to have one :-)

[joeyrotten101]

I think that you should design a guitar yourself, as well as collab designs .

[DrEviscerator666]

Is the Ghost Fret Still going to be released?

[weemankyle]

rob, im trying to post a video response... but its saying i have no videos uploaded >:(

which isnt true. check my channel, its the only video i have.

[GuitarCrazyManiac]

I voted for win! This is gonna be awesome, especially with the whole "affordable customs" deal!

[AreYouIrrelevant]

Also, definatly don't paint over the neck, leave it with a think laquer like the ML1. I'm not really a fan of LP style bodys, if it were going to be any shape other than that, I'd probably buy one, but because of this, I'm leaning towards the ML1 alot more right now.

[AreYouIrrelevant]

I think the ML2 should have the same headstock as the ML1.

[ckcoolidge]

Shaping up to be a great guitar Chappers nicely done!

[ArielsSmartyPants]

Love what you're doing Rob, will be buying a ML? soon. I'm on the fence, I really like the ML1 but the 2 sounds awesome!

[guysapire]

Its a shame theres no Floyd Rose option in the vote, that could have make this guitar freakishly awesome! Not that without one the guitar wouldn't be awesome.

[RobChappers]

@guysapire There will be a Floyd Rose option - Stay tuned for Affordable customs

[guysapire]

@RobChappers Affordable customs? sounds like win!

[MYCHEMICALHAMSTERS]

@RobChappers Um, Rob? Willthese Affordable Customs be limited? Cus I want something with a set neck, Floyd Rose, 24.75 scale and a killswitch. The only guitar that comes close to this is a Dean ML Knight 549 GBP (and even then I'd need to install a kill switch)! So, yeah, if I can get something like that with your name on for a price close to the ML. Then, yeah, I'd choose a CAF (Chappers Affordable Custom)

[xTiLkx]

@MYCHEMICALHAMSTERS Killswiiiiiitch fuck yeah

They should make that standard tbh

[Wilsonmanica]

Well, I have just reserved one ML2 for me. It is going to be the best Xmas gift ever.

I agree with most of the ideas. The only one I think that should be considered is having a glued neck because gives way more sustain. I know that when you got a bolt on neck is easier to paint. We must think about the sound of the guitar, which is the most important part. That is why I stick with the glued neck!

24 frets sounds cool too.

Cheers.

[RobChappers]

@Wilsonmanica Awesome mate thank you very much ;-)

[dwg316]

i've done it for you mr chappers

[RobChappers]

@dwg316 Love you buddy ;-)

[adam0594]

24 frets and a set-in neck would be awesome !

[Nickelbroken]

Chappers, I have a very big problem :{

I desperatly want a ML2 and I would die to get one...

But I guess dying isn't enough... I have about € 200 (no idea how much that is in pounds) and I'm doing everything I can to earn more: I washed the car a couple of times, I cleaned my little sisters room, I threatened my Grandma, ...

But I stil haven't got enough to buy an ML2 and I ran out of inspration...

What can I do to earn some more cash? :x

[remotecontrol1324]

Hey monkeylord why didn't you consider neck-thru to this guitar? That would would be awesome... it would be the first single cut with neck thru body.

Cheers

[MattPurkis]

voted =)

[BlackDiamond351]

no man! why dye that gorgeous fur?

[TOTOsupra]

I voted ;) 

[harrymosesgk]

Have you thought about sending the ML1, Ghost Fret and (soon to be) ML2 around the guitar publications I.E guitar buyer and guitarist. Most people read reviews before buying guitars obviously and i think if the ML1 and Ghost Fret are as great as people say they are you can only benefit in sales and exposure. Hope this comes in handy.

[The420shredhead]

I just tied it up at "255" - "255" for the body shape!

Snap bitches!

[AndertonsMusic]

Hi All - it's Captain Anderton here!! I have listed the shipping cost to most countries in the world on the ML2 page on our site. If your country is not listed, then just email us & tell us where you want it shipped to & we'll email you back a quote. Don't ask Chappers for shipping prices cos he doesn't know!!

[RobChappers]

@AndertonsMusic Thanks Lee ;-)

[rossslay512]

would EMG pickups be to much to ask?

[jafardude007]

i may just pick up a second job to buy an ML2 :D

[83Sereth]

Is the headstock decided?

[RobChappers]

@83Sereth If you vote you will see ;-)

[udsahn]

No matter how I look at it, Collab guitars = epic win!

Much success for your business! :D

[GuernB2]

exept the scale length, this sounds like my less paul

[danukenator123]

Shit i think i can swing 525$ by the end of summer.

[tjbwhatshisface]

I AM IN LOVE WITH THE WAY THIS WORKS!!! gotta get some thin neck thru guitars goin on with active pups 24 frets with an origional floyd! tht would be a dream guitar for me

[spuogis]

24 frets!!!!!!!!!!!

[SexyLeprechaun28]

chappers would you be willing to trade one of your badass win machines for an esp ex 351 with an active emg? its a really good deal. think about it

[Sp3ci41K]

I am now going to save up 525 dollars to buy this guitar.

[RobChappers]

@Sp3ci41K Thanks mate that is awesome - But you only need £35 to reserve one ;-)

[gnrmanmatt]

i thought he died his hair lol

[zbarneyz]

More is allways better! 24 all the way!

[MechaSixVII]

now I need to pool some money together because I WANT ONE

[RobChappers]

@MechaSixVII Ha ha me to mate, can't wait to see how it turns out after all the voting it's like watching 1000's of dudes decide what to get me for xmas ha ha ;-)

[ibanezdudeck]

Wow, a glue in Gibson style set neck is so outdated but it's winning. Maybe if it was a good no heel, PRS type set neck I'd vote set but come on, the big heel Gibson style is lame and unpractical. And no 27 fret option? Or a Parker style modern body choice? I'm sorry, but it's looking too old school for me. I don't normally prefer singlecuts and this one is turning into an outdated style one.

[MattPurkis]

@ibanezdudeck some call it outdated and some call it classic. although i agree on the neck idea , some just like it as they grew up around that style of neck.

[MrBIOSkunk]

Anderton's music rocks!

[surtursfire]

Oh shit Chappers, breakin' out some old demo stuff on us? Brothers ftw!

[pdod09]

@RobChappers @RobChappers how about in malaysia??

[RobChappers]

@pdod09 Yes mate, we ship worldwide - Malaysia is in the world so you are fine ;-)

[pdod09]

@RobChappers how about in malaysia..

[shakeshaftthomas]

Im CURRENTLY looking for a single cut guitar. . . . . . anyways

. 24 frets - there is a lack of single cut guitars with 24 frets, also its just nice to have that very high E

. it would be nice if the neck doesnt get painted over like a traditional single cut.

. rosewood finger board if possible.

.XL jumbo frets if possible .

there all the things i would be overly concerned about dude :) keep on rocking!

[TheBigdaddyJRT]

chappers big daddy here love the guitar company always have but i dont have the money for either one so its very hard for me to enjoy

[666km]

i think i am going to reserve one soon!!! i live in newfoundland canada!!!!! and i love your other guitars and i cant wait to see the ML2 im a big fan of that shape !!!! i wouldnt mind knowing the price for me befor reserving one lol!!!!!

[RobChappers]

@666km  Thanks mate, for all pricing inquiries please email info@andertons.co.uk

[RobChappers]

@666km Dude email Andertons for an exact price to Canada ;-)

[6Hellbilly6Deluxe6]

i hope for 24 frets and neck through...

24 frets simply cos my B.C.Rich is 22 lol... selfish ... i know .. but meh ;p

and neck through cos i do physics... and the laws of physics pretty much state that is the best way to do it :P

don't have a cam or i'd post a video ...

[6Hellbilly6Deluxe6]

omg... just checked voting... neck through isn't even an option !!!

:( :( ... suppose this is a drawback of collab design...

meh ... it still kicks more ass than some company dictating to you what a good guitar is.

[AreYouIrrelevant]

@6Hellbilly6Deluxe6

If you want that particular sound, yes. Some people prefer the sound of bolt-on guitars.

[6Hellbilly6Deluxe6]

@AreYouIrrelevant

no dude... the actual physics behind it is solid... the best sound comes from neck through...

the fact that the neck and body are made from the same piece of wood and unseperated means that the harmonic resonance is the exact same...

same type of wood but not in the same cut (i.e. set neck or bolt on) causes interference paterns in harmonic resonance ... reducing quality... and this is even worse if the bolt on neck is a different type of wood to the body...

[AreYouIrrelevant]

@6Hellbilly6Deluxe6

I understand that man, but the 'best sound' is completly subjective, and regardless of physics, some people actually prefer the sound of bolt on necks, I'm not saying that it resonates as well, but that dosn't mean that you can't prefer it, surely you understand that.

[6Hellbilly6Deluxe6]

@AreYouIrrelevant

yeah man... everything on earths quality is down to personal opinion... i mean... people actually listen to chipmonks singing :| lol ;p

i was just ranting cos i was disappointed at the lack of a neck-thru option :( ... suppose it might be too hard to make... or they just ruled it out cos damage to neck = new guitar needed...

aw well :(

[AreYouIrrelevant]

@6Hellbilly6Deluxe6

Haha! Yep :)

Yeah, that's the only bad thing about neck-thru I suppose, I'm just not really drawn to them for some reason, I like bolt on, or really well carved glue in. I just don't like Les Pauls man, they just feel wrong in my hands. They sound good though. I wan't a strat, but I also want a mahogany guitar, though it won't sound like a strat, an ML1 seems very appealing.

[BraydonSzafranski]

@6Hellbilly6Deluxe6 You are an idiot.

[XMitsuhideX]

Chappers cut his hair. D:

[Blade686]

It's a single-cut people! 22 fretted glued-in!

[Ploatic]

I still say PRS headstock man, I think they're sick. Glad to see you're doing well with your company man you deserve it!

[pfarina]

Hey Chap, wouldn't you consider voting for a natural finish ML2?

[MrGuitarcovers10]

definately 24, but only if you can actually reach them not like my ltd ec-100 where the last 2 frets are just there laughing at my poor attempts to reach them..

[rickyjshiznit]

@MrGuitarcovers10 if u wanna reach em vote for the body type with the deeper horn

[fluff191]

Oh wow I am so glad everyone was smart about the 25" scale. Only way to go.

[blacklabelmansociety]

Sorry, I thought you won't ship to Brazil. If it's ok, I will think about it. Thank you!

[ELEMENTALW1]

Wow, you are one of the few special and wonderful persons I have ever seen ^_^ cheers*

[blacklabelmansociety]

Chappers, every day I watch your videos. And I think that your brand new company is completely awesome. I'd really love to purchase one your guitars, but there is a big problem: I live in Brazil!

[66Titan66]

Affordable custom guitars...sounds like a slice of win pie

[joeshmoa7x]

Dear Chappers, a natural oiled finish, 24 fret, set through neck like a schecter, black or chrome/nickel etc. hardware, jumbo frets, 3 on a side headstock, 1 volume 1 tone, pickup selector in the place gibson puts theirs, optional floyd rose, pickups don't matter to me i have an extra set of duncans laying around, would be AWSOME. I will definatly buy one either way! - Joe

[Dinkyuser]

Affordable Custom Guitar? I guess this means I have to start saving up some cash

[xXNeoShredderXx]

I'm saving up for one. \m/

[JerkyChid]

Collaborative design is awesome and more companies should listen to the people that actually BUY their guitars. Unfortunately if you're not in the majority you lose.. maybe next time around I can have a Chapman guitar.

[ibanezman007]

I'm in the marching band at my high school and were performing a lord of the rings field show this year.

[IPawnNoobs]

I am seriously thinking about buying one of your guitars.

[RobChappers]

@IPawnNoobs The simian behemoth smiles upon you \m/

[phsicosinclair]

im liking this talk of pizza recipies, like if you agree :p

[NICKGMOAR]

DO WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BMXcomedy]

420th vid

[veers0r]

What I think about the collaborative design process? I'm not sure. Too many cooks tend to spoil the broth. On the other hand, democracy is better than dictatorship. ;)

[coulsonsam87]

Chappers, we should discuss pizza recipes in some detail.

[RobChappers]

@coulsonsam87 Satay mate - It's the best pizza evar!! Stick can vouch for this ;-)

[martinsmithphoto]

No neck inlays at all. Natural oiled finish on body and neck, bolt on neck, jumbo frets, 3-a-side headstock design, all black hardware, DiMarzio PAF in neck & bridge mounted direct to the body (no rings) with coil taps switching, single volume control for both buckers (no tone pots), pickup selector switch on lower 'horn', piezo system with dual outputs...

*crosses fingers and prays.....

[col33145]

so what is the time sig to city will burn please mate

[RobChappers]

@col33145 4/4 dude

[col33145]

@RobChappers thanks mate ..so would stainless steel frets be to much money to add to the guitar build ??? 

[RobChappers]

@col33145 Yeah mate sorry...

[tjsr21]

Bless us crazy people indeed. Just had a sweet five minutes designing a guitar i have already bought! x

[MeanGreenMovies]

[Coreyland]

[RobChappers]

@Coreyland I fucking love America! ;-)

[RevisedTV]

24 frets FTW

[WhitePenguiN12345]

[Darfuria]

@WhitePenguiN12345 It says in the video!

[SteeleInd]

@WhitePenguiN12345

Evidently you didn't watch the video. Skip to 3:01

[haza414]

cant wait to see what this baby looks like !

[devizzle7]

Hi Rob, are you designing any left-handed ?

[Darfuria]

@devizzle7 There are a number of left-handed models available to reserved now :-)

[jay43107]

sssssoo you guys dont carrier ibanez K7 Guitars????

[blogtvpunk]

Hey Rob, show tits plz.

[RobChappers]

@blogtvpunk WTF? Ha ha ha 

[ChucklesMginty]

I've grown sick of locking trems, when the voting's done and I can be sure I'll have enough cash I'm pre-ordering. \m/\m/

[garfish111]

that background music is awesome, what is it?

[RobChappers]

@garfish111 It's the track Brothers from my instrumental album Red Dream which is on iTunes ;-)

[Jimihendrix6699]

so...much...voting....AWESOME, thank you senai.

[Jimihendrix6699]

@Jimihendrix6699 sensai*

[RobChappers]

@Jimihendrix6699 Sensei - Although since I practice Chinese Arts it would be Laushi ;-)

[Jimihendrix6699]

@RobChappers oh ok, sorry Laushi

[garfish111]

did you colour you're hair?

[RobChappers]

@garfish111 Yes mate - Blue/Black FTMFW \m/

[slicer789]

that red wood finish is awfully sexy mate.

[tista93]

Do you ship to europe?

[Darfuria]

@tista93 It says worldwide in at least 3 places - come on!

[RobChappers]

@tista93 We ship worldwide ;-)

[mudbone80]

Too bad the ML1 is only limited production, I would like to get one in the future :( I'm sure the ML2 is gonna be great, I'm just not a big fan of single cuts, I find them uncomfortable to play. I must admit though, they are a good looking design.

[Antilevitation]

Man, a LP-style guitar with a ebony fingerboard, It s*cks there will only be 250 made..

[fenderoid1111]

Mahgany body ,ebony fret board and maple neck?WTF.I bet Les rattles now in his grave.Y maple and ebony(kinda bright)?

[RaidenNoKishi]

@fenderoid1111 It's not a Les Paul. Let me repeat that. IT IS NOT A LES PAUL.

[DennChooch]

i just want a freakin PRS for 300 bucks, deal? :p
