All the new Chapman guitars are nicely done as are the models that preceded them, the ghost fret classic looks amazing! Thanks for sharing Steve! Looks like you had a blast & you got to meet Rob! Cheers!
@stevecassidyguitar Glad to hear it & I could tell you were truly enjoying yourself and good to see you took a photo with Richard another great guy just like Rob & yourself of course!
Looks like you had a blast! Great interview and opportunity to meet Rob. His work with Lee made it possible to make guitar reviews entertaining. I think you bring the same energy to your videos so I hope your channel continues to grow! Looking forward to your future BirmingNAMM coverage.
Thank ya very much mate 😃🙏 Yes indeed - it was a great weekend 😃 And you're right totally right about the old Andertons vids - I've been enjoying them for years too 😃👍
Ha! Thank you Marsha 😀🙏 I'm actualy just getting round to playing it right now. I need to put lighter strings on it - but we've got some good potential here 😎👍
Good to see Rob Chapman again, it's been awhile for me anyways. I never understood the *HATE* he seemed to attract from certain personality types. Rob is a self-made man who loves music and guitars, a great musician running a great guitar company, which actually LISTENS to players and incorporates their ideas (when right). Besides all that, he has a great sense of humor and always a good attitude. I still don't have a Chapman guitar yet, but that will be rectified soon. Being an old traditionalist in music and instruments, it will likely be his improved version of the telecaster - the original solid guitar design. Cheers!
you should know I've seen pics of you in various Birmingham Guitar Show stuff already. You're getting known and recognised as a UK creator . Really nice of Rob Chapman to take part, but I've been aware of him for many years and I think he knows whoever is in front of him matters and embraces it. EDIT, Wait what? the way you mic'ed this up left several big guitar youtubers in the dust! I'm going to have to put on a hat , just so I can take it off again!
Yeah the baritone does look cool..I've got a soft spot for Bari's 😁👍 Finally got round to filming the old chapman hybrid review, but it won't be out until we'll after the gear street stuff 😬
@@stevecassidyguitar I definitely had fun writing on the train with intermittent wifi up to the show. I'm happy that it turned out better than I was hoping as a fan of the channel.
Yeah he was super sound - very generous with his time and attention 🙏 and yeah more interviews coming up with Jonny Budget Guitar Show, The Lamb, Rafael Jesus, Budget Pedal Chap & Jet Guitars 😀 That should take us into 2025 😂
@@stevecassidyguitar yeah i keep hitting near 5,000 on my watch later lmao. was going through my older saved vids to clear stuff off. i need to make multiple different sorts of watch laters
Too right mate 😂👍 I've just very recently picked one up - Not had a chance to spend much time with it yet tho 😅 First impressions are very good though 👍
The geetar show were mega! Some incredible builders and gear there. Some of them chappers were a bit nice, didnt get a chance to noodle on em though (being the sheer wuss i am now days). Can honestly say the show were better this year than last n last year it were mint :)
@@stevecassidyguitar im kicking myself because i saw someone who looked remarkably like you but was thinking to meself "nah he was here yesterday it cant be him" n didnt have the bottle to come up n ask... bugger! Hope your well though sir :)
Was my third time to Birmingham, 2nd time as an exhibitor. Had a great time. I remember seeing you wandering around, but I had no idea who you were so didn't say hi. I will next time. Do you have much more footage to show?
Nice one mate! 😀 Who were you exhibiting with? I do have more stuff filmed, but I can only manage to get one vid out per week currently 😬 I didn't really spend enough time at any of the booths though - with it being my first time i was a bit too excited 🙈
@@stevecassidyguitar I had my own (Franklyn Guitars) on stand 80 with the Boutique Guitar collective. If you're in at either the Bristol or Brighton show come and have a peruse and a chat. I might even have some Quality Street on offer :) Look forward to see the rest of your coverage.
@@ChrisFranklyn I nice one mate! I've got a wee bit of footage of the Boutique Guitar Collective - It was part of a walkthrough so not long 😬 But a good chance something of yours will be on this Fridays vid - If I can get it finished in time🙈 Some very cool pieces on that stall 😎👌
To be totally honest, I'm not massively clued up on the entire catalogue 😬 But... I don't "think" they've done 7.25" radius. But you'll certainly find several models with Jumbo SS frets 😀 What you're asking for is very difficult to find on any brands production models. I've been looking for Stainless Steel frets on a 9.5" radius for a couple of years and that's really hard to find too. You can get close with an EART Corsair - They do 7.25" - 9.5" compound radius, but the frets aren't mega jumbo iirc. Good luck on your search mate 😎🙏
When I first started playing, one of my mates gave me a few lessons to get me started, and he said I played like I had parsnips for fingers 😂. I did have to double take at the Subbuteo but it made me smile when I realised the pun. I like it, it’s quirky.
@@stevecassidyguitarI don’t think it’s helped to be honest. Maybe I should have some courgettes grafted on instead. I dunno, feel free to take a look and let me know - I’d be more than happy to make a living out of people paying me to stop!
@@stevecassidyguitar You're very welcome amigo , i wish you a good holy month , Ramadan is starting , and i hope i will see the at least 200 000 suscribers that you deserve very soon , and going to watch your comparison between the JS 400 and a Fender Strat right now !!^^ Guys : SUSCRIBE !!
I completely get it mate, I know he's a bit of a Marmite guy for some. Pre the show, I was indifferent to Chappers and Chapman Guitars, but he definitely won me over after meeting in person. Very generous with his time, and he gave me some great YT advice too. I can't say he's not a grafter. But still - Very kind of you to say mate 😀🙏
