Chapman V2 Models at Andertons!

darthed1981 · March 2019

Chapman's nice affordable Standard series are back in a new and apparently improved V2.

I really quite fancy both an ML1 and ML3 at this new standard. That blue ML1 looks excellent.

I actually tried one of the, err, V1, versions last year and it was superb, so I'm thinking of a purchase here...

If there is any chance of making this thread on a guitar forum about guitars, then can we do so....? Thanks all

Just buy it Ed!

Get it before the GAS Negotiator(TM) turns up!

Ed, buy it, but keep quiet. We can't have this Chapman love breaking the forum again …

If they did a fat neck/wide nut option on Chapmans I’d be all over a 1 or a 3

I really liked the look of the reverse headstock Chapman tele.

I've always thought it looks like a pasty.

If only they did a seven string that you could buy then send for “conversion”.

Prob. Break the forum if you did though

The quality control on the early models were shocking.

Are they still tree wood?

They were cheap, made in China and designed to be bodged. It looks like the company has come a long way and been quite open with their progress.

Do they still make them at WMI in Korea?

I do try to be weary of online hype but every guitar I've read about that was made there gets almost universal hype online and I have 3 instruments made there priced £330, £500 and £570 and all 3 are as good quality as I've ever personally seen on a guitar (which includes many >£1000 models but I don't think any >£2000)

V2 is now made in Indonesia.

dindude · March 2019

From what I can see Pro series still made in Korea and unchanged. Standard series were already made in Indonesia but they’ve changed Indonesian factory for v2.

The unholy trinity would be complete and the end of days would begin.

V2 is now made in Indonesia.

The standard series has always been Indonesian, its the Pro series that is Korean. The Pro series is remaining the same, built at WMI, it's just they have found a new factory for the standard series.

Found a new factory that allows for more profit? Cynical me again

They have indeed, Rob talks about it at some length in the video.

Howdy, Stranger!
