Introducing | Chapman Guitars
Designed By Guitarists, For Guitarists—Chapman Electric Guitar and Baritone Models @ CME
CME is now a proud dealer of Chapman Guitars! Founded by vocalist/guitarist and YouTube guitar-playing extraordinaire Rob Chapman, Chapman Guitars are designed in direct collaboration with musicians to inspire the artists who use them!
Rob Chapman's Collaborative Guitar Design
When the first solid-body electric guitars were launched in the 1950s, it didn’t take long before the musicians who bought them started to report back about the features they might want to change or upgrade. Yet, when it came to gathering feedback, deciding on which changes to make, and implementing those changes in factory production, the painstaking process took decades of crowdsourcing.
Taking early advantage of crowdsourcing capabilities in the internet age, Rob Chapman fast-tracked his R&D of the guitar design phase in 2009 when he asked his fan base of fellow guitarists to vote on every aspect of the first Chapman guitar—from the body shape to the woods used, pickup style, hardware, etc. And, that’s been the guiding ethos of all Chapman guitars designed ever since!
Check out any of the Chapman signature models now in stock at CME, including Chris Robertson and Peter Honore options. Plus behold the angular, eye-catching Ghost Fret Classic and Law Maker Legacy Baritone models!
Chapman Chris Robertson Signature SAR63
Designed in collaboration with Black Stone Cherry guitarist Chris Robertson, the Chapman SAR63 semi-hollow electric guitar is crafted from alder with a maple carve-top and F-hole. It boasts a Stone White finish with Amber Celluloid binding, and it features a roasted maple neck with a comfortable C-shaped profile and rosewood fretboard.
Chapman Peter Honore Signature DPT
Paying homage to the legendary session guitarist and YouTube virtuoso, retro aesthetics meet contemporary brilliance in the Chapman Peter Honore Signature DPT! Designed from scratch to incorporate all Honore’s preferred contours, the DPT boasts a played-in finish, the result from Chapman’s new “Retrograde” process, which mixes satin and gloss for a finish that doesn't crack, yet, gives the impression of an old nitro guitar in which the paint has seeped into the grain to make it visible and textured.
Chapman Ghost Fret Classic
A testament to Chapman Guitars’ commitment to pushing boundaries, the latest iteration of the Chapman Ghost Fret Classic offers a unique twist on a metal machine, designed for guitarists looking to explore a world of vintage-inspired sonic possibilities! Crafted from mahogany, the Ghost Fret Classic features a Metallic Gloss finish to let the wood’s character shine through. Plus, it comes loaded with Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickups.
