Another day in the office - Rob Chapman ML1 Blog 1

[MatthijsBudding]

Rob it's amazing too see this. I'm following you for a long while now, and I see every video you upload. It's great too see all those videos again, all the blogs. Everything has grown so much, and so much happened in this time. I have the ML-1 and ML-2. The ML-1 is being customized right now and I'm very exited about the results. Thanks Rob!

[EricClaptonFan24]

Rob, it's history! The beginning! Nice to see al the vids, from the beginning till the end. I have 1 ML1, and the second ML1 will coming (B-stock). Why not the ML2? Because the ML1 is what I need haha.

[RobChappers]

Hello mate!! I'll give you a call ;-)

[BubblyPudding]

Yeah, he quoted my bro.

Pretty pimp.

[ey3goo]

Haha! You quoted my vote! That's so cool! (I'm Mosais on the forum :) Thanks for doing that, it made me feel quite awesome :)

[BubblyPudding]

Yeah, bro! More win than a windigo! (How's he spell eetz?)

You're just cool like that.

And ye olde englishe like that. xD ROFL

[HaloNerd3]

yea man congrats on everything u earned it

[Kimmoto]

Rob, you are getting there! I really enjoyed this vid:). Hard work work!

[guitarinsteve]

heh.. I could imagine a very sit-com situation in where Mrs. Chappers realises that her man is the monkey-lord... All that time she thought you were perhaps writing poetry instead of making us all laugh on youtube and then BAM she walks into the monkey-cave and finds the monkey-mobile and various superhero costumes...

[Chipmonkcheeks53]

ITs getting nearer........

[jamietrhcp17]

Man, I can not wait to see you bring the funk on one of these guitars.

[gibshall]

[xCYNICOUTCASTx]

[mcpeepants1821]

cant wait to see you shred the first one dude.

[heminder]

[snapascrew]

Rob the Ml2 should be shaped like a big cock.

how funny would that be honestly think about someone playing a giant cock at a show

[Vexion193]

Call it a wangacaster

[RobChappers]

Hey!!! That's a great idea...

[svee]

ROFLMAO DUDE!!! if i had know you were recording i would have put on a much more macho voice lol

Makes me laff that in every hand full of vids from your good self we get to see another bit of the mighty toast burner :D

Coming soon to a you tube near you... MML's elbow!!! hehehe

On a serious note though, thanks for making me part of your epic journey into god-like status mate. Producing your arty stuff is a pleasure and an honour ;)

[RobChappers]

Ha ha I wandered when you would see this!! No problem dude you are a legend ;-)

[NineteenNinety5]

Does your wife not want to be on Youtube or something? Can't all of us monkey minions meet her?

[RobChappers]

She is a shy little Monkey, all minions who visit me also meet her ;-)

[TheBSxtravaganza]

[RobChappers]

[weirdotis]

Wait, so you're NOT getting a signature Brit Pick?

[RobChappers]

Unfortunately not "D'Addario" picked me up... Also the hand made Stainless steel "Monkey Lord" pick will be available soon ;-)

[LordOfThisWorld74]

Ma rob seems like ytou went through a long process. i would order one but this year im gettin a new head. so a new head and a new guitar would be a little much to ask for. (Bugera head I..I)

[coulsonsam87]

great job chappers, its amazing what your achieving with youtube. fantastic!

[GrooveMasterPatches]

I think this whole ML guitar is turning out better then anyone thought :D

[Rekilo]

Don't sacrifice percentage. We still want you to be able to live in a house you know.

[chubbymosher700]

a guy on the monkeylord forum either thinks ive been quoted for truth or thinks i should quit fucking talking.

i agree either way.

[Mnuggats]

I've heard shitty nuts can be a terrible condition.

[voodooriders]

that's a condition only bought about by hammering it home to hard while the misses has a dodgy stomach....

[abaichmaide]

I have registered my want of the ML1 SO PUMPED! I will def buy the single cut when it comes too cuz that is my usual cut. The ML1 will definatly fidn a good home! -THom

[RobChappers]

Cool thanks Thom ;-)

[dwg316]

oh by the way the PICK IS COOL 2 !!!!!

[RobChappers]

Yeah I should get the really soon, they will be for sale in my store ;-) 1.5mm celluloid

[dwg316]

da Monkey Lord . . da wim is with thy . . . by the way excellent vid !!!!

[MercutioUK2006]

Sacrificing a percentage in order to get the best parts on the guitar? That's above and beyond the call of duty for sure.....hey, its only a nut but with a bone nut on there its one less thing to worry about.

Good blog :)

[J3sst44]

You should make a competition; Who can shred the most win on an ML1

[illusionfreak]

Yes! Magical incantation. You are the man!

By the way Monkey Lord branded... whats? lol

[roryrockssocks]

Nice to see we can follow this process :)

[lugerman]

I wouldn't be too worried about the nut, even if it were bone i'd still either just put pencil dust in there or put a grapth tech in there.

[jamiepoultonadult]

STOP KEEPING SECRETS :(

[RobChappers]

What secrets??? I don't know what you mean!

[jamiepoultonadult]

the bits were you craftily edit the video out. it hurts.

[Adji87]

incitful stuff man. So good of you to sacrifice some of your pay inorder to make the guitar that bit better, top bloke.

[GeoAnimism]

He is more than just a bloke.. he i'th The Monkey Lord.. er bloke ;)..

[RockinSi]

The blog is awesome. That is all.

[Spenceros]

[RobChappers]

[HectorPunch]

"I'm more than happy to sacrifice percentage to put the money back into the guitar" THANK YOU!!!! :D :D

[RobChappers]

No problem, making a great guitar is more important to me ;-)

[Blade686]
