Top 10 Guitars In My Collection - Rob Chapman 

Ten guitars is not enough. I recently had it explained to me that the perfect amount of guitars can be represented by the simple equation of n+1 where (n) represents the amount of guitars you currently own. So following that accurate equation if someone owns 10 guitars their perfect amount of guitars is 11 and it then follows that if they own 11 guitars their perfect amount is 12 etc.

how many guitars do you need to own? chappers: 10 guitars. All different! Brian May: 1 guitar. Yngwie malmsteen: 100 guitars. All identical cream vintage scalloped stratocasters.

Rob’s impulse purchase: a vintage Gibson V. My impulse purchase: a new pack of Jazz 3s.

hey man thats cool, here's my top of guitars that I own: 1-Squier Stratocaster...... and thats all for now :(

2:39 OMG I had no idea about this. Finally, the mystery of why Steve Vai has pieces of tape over the edges of his pickups has been answered.

most of my top 10 guitars are in my imagination

My goal is to buy a guitar for every pair of shoes my girl brings in

"if you give me an electric guitar, the song is going to come out shred" -Rob Chapman

>Minor negatives on a cheap guitar: "Guitar is shit" >Minor negatives on an expensive guitar: "Part of the magic"

This guy has alot of these Chapman guitars. Is he an endorsee or something?

Other people: I turn red when I run a lot Rob: I turn red when I play guitar

_"You'll know if I really love a guitar-- I'll do things to it"_ -Rob Chapman

I wish I had enough guitars to do a top 10 list...

I always thought that giving guitars names and calling them "she" was a little bit weird

That blue chapman ML3 is absolutely gorgeous. I have never been a fan of that shape, but that's simply beautiful. I need one.

He who dies with the most guitars, wins! lol

Cool to hear you play the old Andertons/Chapman intro theme on the strat!

I definitely want 5 1. A good Strat 2. A good Tele 3. A PRS Custom 22/24 4. A Gretsch 5. Martin D-15M Runner up to: 6. Duesenberg 7. An HSS Strat

I name my guitars too, I have three Stratocasters, the Red one is called Red Bast*rd, the White one is called White Basta*rd and my David Gilmour Relic is black, so... you get the idea.

I like how you can see rob grinding his teeth when he’s concentrating, can tell he’s putting his all into it

Apologies for this emperor's new clothes moment but anyone else think Chappers manages to make them all sound the same - apart from the Tele?

" I like simplicity....." *sits down on giant sloppy pile of every style of guitar, plays a million extraneous notes*

It's quite simple really. Every guitar player needs: Martin D-18 or D-28 Gibson J-200 Guild 12 string (acoustic) Gibson Les Paul Fender Stratocaster Fender Telecaster Danalectro 59 Rickenbacker 360 12 string Gretsch semi hollow PRS SE

I love these guitar collection videos! There aren't enough them for me. I've been inspired to enshrine my own guitar collection with videos on my channel as well! Keep up the good work!

Why you need 10 so different guitars when you play them in the same way?

the sneaky creeping death riff, i can dig it! but Chappers, can you please do a review on James Hetfields new signature V, the Esp/Ltd Vulture? I would love to see you and the captain jam on that monster!

Rob: "This guitar isnt't really a shreder" (talking abou Georgia). 2 minutes later, shreds on it.

Nice guitars but you are using so much gain that they all sound alike

"Very old model, way back in 2003 or 04'." lol

"For me it's the Jimi vibe on a flying v" *Plays pinch harmonic non-sense shred and Metallica*

Great video, but seeing the guitars on top of each other on the sofa makes me feel uncomfortable!

Your hair looks better here than with dreads.

Could you do a top 10 pedals video? That would be interesting

The correct formula for the amount of guitars you need is N + 1. where N is the number of guitars you currently own.

I could listen to you play for hours love your guitars and your playing love that blue finish killer!!

Love that tune......Think of the videos you and the Captain make....Awesome Work!!!

Hey don't worry about naming the Chapman guitar. It already has your name on it!

Does one of them happen to be a chapman?

you know every few weeks or months I listen to this video again it's like visiting an old friend for me.

nice to see your favorites, I guess it may change over time? love the flying v at the start!

10, 20 what's the difference

I'm a bit confused why your own signature guitar is not in your own top 10 ?!

love your playing Rob, thanks for all you do!

Love your channel Rob! Good stuff.

Hey Rob, I was roaming the inter-webs and I happened to find your old RU-vid account and I must say even then more than 7 years ago you were still amazingly good! I think people underestimate your skill too much, you're truly an amazing musician!

I'd love to hear Adam Jones play that Les Paul.

I'm glad there are people like you in the world Rob Chapman. Keep on rockin' in the free world!!!

Big fan of that Cap10, Rob. Have been since you first showed it off. Really well done

Id kill just to have 3 guitars lol

It makes me cringe to see a bunch of nice guitars lying on top of each other all over this dudes sofa, might be my OCD kicking in, but I wouldn't even do that with my cheapest guitars, let alone my best! Still love your demos though Rob Chapman.

You guys make some beautiful guitars. I love the color combinations.

your so amazing at guitar , its effortless!!!!

That hollow body les Paul had some nice SRV tones to it

I really like the telecaster.

From across the pond, and this sounds odd, but I truly love you guys. Great channel, great info and the best part is it just makes my day to watch and listen. Wish you guys the best!

Ok, so I’ve recently gotten back into guitars and have watched everything I can find that y’all do but it was just today that I looked you up on Spotify and DUDE! Your music is awesome!! Seriously Looking forward to getting one of your les Paul style guitars in the near future!

man, u may think i'm kidding, but that g chord on 17:04 sounded fucking amazing lol

_Sombody_ needs some guitar practice!!! Oh wait, that's me. Carry on, cheers...

Well that was fairly amazing ... I didn't expect a couple of those to make an appearance but that just goes to show how different people are to what you expect. Nice video, very interesting.

Truly enjoyed the video! The satin flying V was 👍!

Chapman ML-3. 'most beautiful finishes of all the guitars I own.' Grabs a burst PRS custom 24 next. XD !!

awesome collection man. loved the les paul. great skills as well. i alredy subscribed to your channel, and i´ll be checking you out. greetings from Mexico.

Those Chapmans sound great. I like that double cut ML whatever and that Explorer shaped one. I see you in the Andertons videos and had no idea until a moment ago that you had a guitar company. Someday.

I love seeing how happy you look your videos

My Top 3: 3. Squier Stratocaster (Dubbed "Rebecca", it may be my first electric, but has pretty poor sustain now) 2. Spectrum Acoustic (First guitar I ever owned) 1. Epiphone Les Paul (Dubbed "Jessie", this has an amazingly gritty tone, just how I like it) These are the only 3 I own right know

Top 10 I don't even have ten guitars I don't even have two 😅

Great playing, great personality, big inspiration.....

great video as always Chappers keep it up bro

So besides tne flying V, the Les paul and the Tele, you only play coffee tables? :D

What do you think of Godin guitars from Canada. Can you review a few of them with the Captain please?

I really love that Rob focuses on the flaws even his favorite guitars have! I have 6 guitars and a few I've always felt sad aren't perfect (specially some of the more expensive ones), but I honestly feel a lot better about that now, kinda seeing that the flaws still make them that much more special

Hi Rob! you have an outstanding bunch of guitars! I'm italian but I saw dorje in london almost an year ago. Anyway I'm really impressed by the new Dorje's ep, it's utterly amazing! To surive and zero give me goosebumps at every play. I just bought the ep with the t-shirt on your on-line store. Keep writing this amazing stuff, I wish you all the best!

"You don't need anymore than 10 guitars in your life".... my wife can never see this video...

I only own one guitar at the moment, the other ones were sold to pay for lawyers (bunch of ball washing bastards) and that happens to be a Chapman ML3 (blue with maple neck) and I have modded the shit out of it. It now has a Sustainiac with a Hot Rails powering it. Scalloped neck, locking tuners and a momentary kill switch. It is a full on Death Machine now.

I love the sound of your PRS. I was scrolling down on Facebook when I heard the PRS's amazing sound. I had to alt tab and get a look at the machine making such sweet sounds.

Thanks for all your work! I have noticed you grind your jaw like the blues guy Buchannon!

IF the Telecaster is named 'Betty' then maybe the ML3 should be 'Wilma' (Flintstone).

was "David Brent: on the road" based around your life?

I always love the disgusted expressions we make when after creating gnarly tones. The look of “Oh God, what have we unearthed with this device?!”

great guitars! would love to get a chapman one day

Interesting watching this, I enjoyed it so much I decided to review my top 10 guitars I'm fortunate enough to own here goes... 10.Hamer Artist Ser No. 856169. Beautiful hand build quality, sounds every bit as good as an exceptional Les Paul. 9. Eric Clapton Custom Shop Stratocaster in Mercedes Blue made by John English, Ser No. CN98532 All John English built guitars are brilliant and the mid range boost on this works a treat 8. PRS Hollow Body 2 '10' Top. Low weight, easy to play with very versatile tones using the 3 pickup system. It really can sound like an acoustic and the build quality is fantastic. 7. Custom Shop '50's Telecaster Ser No. R3727 by John English and made from 'more than 100 year old pine' for the 2004 Namm Show. Very different tone with the pine body and great vintage feel and sound 6. 1965 Stratocaster. All original pre-CBS Ser No. L96958. Beaten up and an absolute delightful action and vintage sound 5. 2003 Gibson '59 Les Paul 'Stinger'from Music Machine. Ser No. 9 3658 MM 59 29. A real classic in every sense. Sounds big and feels expensive! 4. Custom Shop '51Telecaster John English built 'Nocaster' Ser No. R4385. A dream sound from a beautifully simple guitar. There's something really cool about the black pickguard and the Fender decal on the headstock, what a presence 3. 2000 Gibson SG Custom 'Les Paul' Ser No. 001892. I've never enjoyed playing SG's until I met this absolute beauty. Massive sound and plays like butter. I can see why so many heavy rock artists used them, they are killer when set up correctly 2. 2014 Pensa Custom MK2. 'F' Hole and quilt top. Lovely to play and special for me because I met Rudy Pensa at his store in New York and fell in love with his business. I own three Pensa's, but this is the fist custom built guitar made entirely to my personal specifications, so very special 1. PRS Periscope 2 as seen on RU-vid with Paul R Smith selecting the woods by vote on the internet and then producing an amazing single piece flame top guitar. The new PRS 85/15 pickups sound amazing and the fabulous build quality all private stock guitars enjoy make this monster ooze quality. I have four Private Stock Guitars. All are wonderful, but this is particularly special. Check out the video to see it from start to build finish. If you ever get to read this Rob, I am now interested in adding a 2017 Chapman guitar to my collection. After reading what I like from the above, which one should I buy??

More plugs than a bath store

just listened to centered and one. kickass! you're such an amazing player! very motivating for a young squier boi like me

your a great guitar player for sure. love all your videos. I'm a les paul man myself have been for 41 years

legend when is the epiphone relic video coming x

All hail Lord Chappers. My goodness that tele sounded fabulous.

Nice,nice the Prs and Les paul really stand out as well as the the Tele and the blue Chapman m3.

Very cool... hard work pays off

"now this... THIS guitar has an amazing clean tone... now lets promptly turn up the gain and get rid of it"

You need a nice Gibson, a nice Fender, a nice acoustic, and then something a little different like a semi-hollow Rickenbacker. Four guitars, that's all you ever need. 😜

You rock Chappers!! Mad chops!!

Such good playing :)

My top 10 guitars: - Schecter Hellraiser C-1. It's a f*cking Schecter Hellraiser. 'Nuff said. - ESP-m10. Bought for $90. Great for anyone who likes Kirk Hammett but is too cheap to buy an actual Kirk Hammett guitar. Just paint the Ouija board on it and use plenty of wah and no one will notice, right? ;) - Oh wait... I only have two guitars...

Why you don't sell the Hot Rod anymore? It was so freaking nice!!!

New subscriber here and I have to own one of the Chapman ml3! First time hearing of these and now I’m obsessed

Rob, you're actually the reason why I purchased my PRS. I watched your review from way back every day when I was in high school!

You should call that blue Chapman Tele "Bluesy" or "Bloo" haha

Ami the only one cringing seeing all the guitars piled one on top of another?

Totally agree with the name you chose for the Les Paul! love them all

A tremendously pleasurable chunker, one I've gotten very fond of.
