My girlfriend says you guys are like, the Top Gear of guitars. What a compliment.

Chappers is like a kid buying a bike, look Dad, I can pull wheelies on this one. Whereas the Captain is like an adult choosing a new guitar. Makes me smile.

This is why I couldn't own my own store. Every day I would walk out with a guitar and just be like yeah this is mine.

Watching this video again after 5 years of guitar And it’s now maybe the biggest part of my life, majorly because of these videos with chapters and the captain. It’s amazing to see my own progression from beginner to (without sounding cocky) a pretty good blues player to now playing jazz and also the progression of Andertons. Rob and Lee have both done so much for my life without even knowing it and I’ll always remember this video and the slash one as well as many others. I love this haha

Been sitting on this secret for a week or two now - its been tough!! Both Rob & I can't wait to start using our new guitars in videos soon. Gotta love a bit of GAS & NGD!!

That final scene of walking out of Andertons with a new guitar brought back so much nostalgia. I remember taking each guitar back to the car and making sure it was strapped in safely, taking it home and sneaking it in while no-one was looking, rearranging all the other guitars to try and disguise that there was anything new. Oh the memories

It makes me laugh when rob is shredding fuck out of that les Paul with the amp all serious in the zone then the camera cuts to lee sat playing with No amp completely calm thinking everything through

Every freaking time I watch you all's videos, I always feel like buying a Les Paul!

That wall of Les Pauls is like guitar porn.

0:00 this is still the best intro that chappers has used

The Captain's clean blues tone was damn near perfect

Lee owns the place take one and call it a tax write off.

I think it is really awesome that these guys plug different brands on the show. It would be so boring to see just Chapman guitars being played. It also gives me confidence that you guys don't want to bullshit us, you are not telling us that Chapman guitars are the best in the world, but you are being honest about their great quality for the price you are paying. I hope you are doing great with your guitars btw. Lovely Les Pauls, I wish I can afford one, I would get the gold top.

So great, watched the whole thing. Just bought a Les Paul Standard Light. :)

Andertons, the store, is set-up properly, so that players can have easy access to the guitars. Our Guitar Center in Bucks County PA, while having a very nice staff, is set-up horribly. All the decent guitars are 20 feet up in the air behind a desk. When I go into a guitar store, I want to be able to take my time, pick up the guitars and browse comfortably without begging to hold an instrument. I wish we had a store like this in my area. BTW, great video!

This is my favorite Anderson’s video. Watched it several times over the years

Wish you guys had time enough to make videos every day. really enjoyed making a cup o tea and a roll up and sitting watching this vid while a storm rages outside my flat in Gourock scotland. Felt all excited for you both cause I love that feeling of buying a guitar, as we all do.

It's always so sad to see that many awesome guitars and knowing you won't be able to play them... Because you're left-handed.

that afro chap is a brilliant player, I think overall I prefer the captain's stuff though, very tasteful

Just so you guys know - I'm calling my new Les Paul "Lola". If you follow me on Facebook, you'll know why.

I just bought my first LP this week (from Andertons) Still got a huge smile - although sadly I can't quite make it sound like these guys do, my skill level is still not where I'd like it.... Lots of practice required! I went for the 2014 standard (in the mad ocean water perimeter finish) rather than the 2015 due to the neck profile and some of the 2015 changes weren't really my bag... It's got to be said there is nothing that can quite replicate that LP sound... I'm now a complete addict!

wish my guitar shop had a wall of les pauls like that

I can't believe this was five years ago already. I've watched this video easily more than any other video they've done and can still remember when it came out.

So much more clarity w/ the p90's, mmm, delicious tone.

If I was Capt' Lee Ida been leavin' with that P90 Gold Top.

I'm on a Les Paul hunt myself. I know, great timing what with Lockdown. But damn, I kinda miss these halcyon days of Lee and Rob playing off each other and doing little missions and that.

Well after all the hard work u guys do ... I'm happy for the both of u! I think you've worked your ass off for years providing demos for all of us again and again , and this is your living ...you deserve the best ! That nut adjustment is one of the best inventions on a guitar I've seen since locking tuners. Play the shit out of those things for us , and great pics !!!

This is still one of my favorite videos on KZfaq. Just some bros hanging out, enjoying the start of the holidays, and buying some amazing guitars. :)

Every guitar players wet dream. And at the same time, the single biggest annoyance to all of us poor guitar players who could never afford one of these. And now that these are 30% more expensive, even more outside of the reach of the average guitar player. Sad. Makes me sad. I'd love to have 10 of these;-) Maybe one day....in my dreams.

Captain, you guys are awesome. I watch your vids for hours. I stopped playing my guitar almost 30 years ago but you have motivated me to pick it up again. Can I buy an Anderton's tee shirt? Thanks and PLZ make more vids.

Lee has such amazing feel and tone in his playing. I could listen to him all day.

Congratulations to the two of you!! Just got my first Les myself! Gone with the Classic model, it really does the job for me =) Im in love! CheerZ!

Second greatest feeling on Earth. Buying a new guitar.

In intro is in a different key and speed. That was a very confusing experience.

You guys are such a wicked combo. My favourite videos are where you meander about the gear like youre a couple of buddies getting to test new toys out together. Even getting specs, it feels like youre filling in a friend while theyre noodling away rather than a sales pitch. By far the best method on the 'tube. Keep up the great work!

Chappers and the Captain go shopping! The Captain bought a parrot. Chappers bought a book on dieting.

For the Captain to love the thick necks on the Les Pauls so much, you'd think he would have more Gibson Les Pauls than Fenders.

Man, your videos never fail to give me a guitardon.

I got my first a little over a year ago. It took me several years of buying & trading, gradually upgrading to finally get it. 1998 Les Paul standard black with aged cream binding. Love it !

Every time Lee is playing I get goosebumps. What an amazing tone and feel. Perfect!

Just ordered one of those Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus models with the Grover locking tuners and real Gibson '57 Classics, gunna take it into the shop and see if it plays better than the Studio I decided against. If so, I will have saved $350 and gotten a gorgeous Vintage Sunburst guitar with no weight relief and a binding versus a slightly used, boring black Studio. I'll report back!

New video idea: Chap and Cap review various doublenecks.

i bought a "58 les paul just a few days ago because of this video/guitar. i've been watching this channel for a long time and never have a heard a better tone out of you lee. every time you pick up that guitar in a video i know its going to sound great. very happy with my purchase as well. a definite keeper.

hey Rob chapman, if you see this, your face at 13.28 is all any one needs to know about loving electric guitars, you are in the zone, thanks for all you've done, they stock the Chapmans at guitar center here 303, come play Denver and Boulder, pce,

I like both of their playing, but I'm really vibing with Lee a lot more. =O

Without a doubt, I would have went the same way The Captain did. And for the same reason. The neck. My LP has the 50's neck profile and I love it.

Makes me warm inside the amount of comments said they liked the goldtop p90 LP :) I was incredibly blessed to get one recently, a 1956 reissue...and oh my goodness!! It is absolutely stunning!!! The tone it has...just incredible!

El Capitan, I really enjoyed this personal insight into the joy of purchasing a guitar for yourself. My favorite part of this video is I feel like I got a true look into both of your personalities. Funny (but not overdone), and genuinely enamored with the awesomeness of the all-mighty guitar. Thanx!

25:35 Bip bip bip bip bip bip "Ah shit, RUN!!"

I still can't imagine paying over 2 grand for a guitar and 'feeling' that it's worth it but I also refuse to try a 2 grand guitar until I can afford it because I don't want to want one, it's not good for my budget...

Don't stop making new content. Wonderful to watch you guys

This video inspired me to go out and buy my very first Les Paul for my 20th year of playing guitar. I chose the Custom shop Axcess model (video of it on my channel). Couldn't be happier what a guitar! Thanks guys.

I knew Rob is going to regret buying the 2015, now he's trying to sell it. Tough luck.

"This guitar's speaking to me in a way that's connecting with my wallet." I know the feels.

I loved the display of the different necks. That was one of the best bits of video I have seen in ages. Well thunked Captain.

Thus video made me happy. I lived the high five at the end. My friend and I once walked into a pawn shop when we first started playing. We both found some pretty sweet (but cheap) guitars and walked out with them.

you build a bond with a guitar, and feel sorry for it, and want to take it home to care for it

23:29 for that first instant, I thought capt. was Sheldon from big bang theory lmao

Dream guitars.This is the kind of video that motivates me to keep practicing.

There is a special feeling one gets when purchasing their first Gibson. I remember my first Gibby, back in 1981...and my first Custom Shop in 1986. Man, what a feeling that was! Thanks for the vid, guys. Cheers!

I own a Les Paul but whenever I see someone else with a Les Paul I'm still jealous :P

You should turn this show into the Top Gear of guitars. Just an idea. Use the format of what Top Gear use. Have guests. Travel places- Historical guitars, music etc.; Do what James May, Clarkson and Hammond do in Top Gear, just with guitars as the theme. You two guys are awesome and i really think your personalities are perfect for a Top-Gear esk show. You already kinda do it with your review/fun events style format. You should just make the episodes longer and more premium. Think of some grand ideas and do them! For example as an idea, Travel to tennessee and discover the historical aspects of the music industry there. In between (like top gear), demo new guitars like you do now, in your studio (like top gear). Have Guests. The more your show grows, you will get more prestige guests. It will really make this show exciting and move towards the mainstream. There is such a huge audience for this! This could be the hub for guitarists, the main place to go to get the latest news in the guitar industry but in an entertaining way! where you can kick back and relax. You guys basically have it, i just think you need to conceptualise the shows a bit more. Organise the format a bit. Do a series. "Cap and Chappers: Series 1, episode 3"?? You can always keep doing what you're doing in between shows, but the main thing for your channel should be this show in my opinion. You already have the community and all the right vibes that come with it, so build it. Make a format for these shows. Take these "low budget youtube shows" and turn them into full TV programs. It not like you don't have the money or brains between you. Think, theres such a huge audience for this show! You already have the fun factor between you both, you have the products to sell. With some good thinking, you guys could make something great! I just can't wait to see "Cap and Chappers" in Texas or something, shooting guitars or whatever (Lol, i dont have a good idea on hand. If i think of one, i'll comment it on here.). Cap and Chappers Build a Guitar? Cap and Chappers Find the worlds most bizarre guitars-Most expensive-Most beautiful. IDK. But some greater minds than my own could probably think of some great things!! Just imagine watching Cap and Chappers play acoustically together in like a really beautiful place on earth, say Yosemte in california. OMG! It would be beautiful to watch. Or! Even in a really beautiful place in the UK! PLay guitar at Stone Henge ot something :) I think you both already have a strong connection when you play and so being in Yosemite or somewhere nice or musically rich would just bring out some great music for this show. if you record a simple acoustic session in a place like that, it would just be great TV! like imagine the different vibes that would come from your music! You could use it to promote Dorje too! Add live performances to it maybe. Have a weekly music feature/highlight where one of your favourite new artists play a ten minute set at the end (@ say 45:00in). give something to our music culture in the UK!! Ohh, the bigger better format would mean.. More viewers, a closer tv like direction heading towards the mainstream which means more customers for the shop, for your guitar company, chapman Guitars. More $$$ which in return can be pumped back into making this show bigger and better in everyway! Ps. "Cap and Chappers"

12:12 Chappers face: "WTF am I playing?" Chappers subconscious: "IDK but keep doing it"

CONGRATS Rob & Capt!!

The name for lee's guitar should be "squeeze my dirty lemon" as a reference to Robert Plant and the burst

The great thing about this video is that is just underlines that there are no right or wrongs when it comes to guitar designs. There are only personal opinions & personal preferences, and no one is "right" or "wrong" just because they prefer one design or another. Unless you like Floyd Rose trems - then you're wrong (just kidding!)

Capt, your touch has gotten superb over the years.

Congratulations Guys!!! ROCK ON!!!

The "Les Paul 100" script on the headstock looks a bit 'cheesey'

Can you guys do another one like this but with telecasters or stratocasters?

Greetings from Canada! Your videos are very entertaining and sure do help pass the time during our harsh winters over here, so thanks! What a great feeling it is to be able to buy something as sweet as a LesPaul. I stupidly sold my 1976 LesPaul Deluxe back in the mid 90s and soon regretted the move, especially for how little I asked for it, ouch! Luckily, I was able to get a used '96 LesPaul Standard in honeyburst a few years later and it's an even better guitar then the '96 Deluxe. Enjoy your LesPauls! Keep on cranking out those videos, they are a lot of fun to watch. Cheers!

I love seeing you two guys together. Don't change.

Gibson & Fender are Brands that have been wired into our brains since we were children watching Hendrix, Clapton & Page. Even the Beatles played them for god's sake! Guitarists are generally a very conservative bunch and we're still playing guitars designed by Les Paul & Leo Fender 60 years ago. Imagine if we were still driving cars that looked like 50's and 60's models. We have amp modelling, 600 effects, infinite availability of patches, computer recording, you don't even need a band anymore, you can record whole albums on your own and this is great - total creative freedom. But when it comes to our pride & joy, we still love the traditional shape, colours, tone and look. We also have great guitars by Ibanez, ESP/Ltd, Jackson & Schecter, to name a few, that have captured a good share of the market, but most of them are strat, LP, sg or tele shapes. All this tells me we have the iconic image of what a guitar should look and sound like and we're not gonna change - not in a hurry anyway. Go Captain & Chappers, cheers & goodwill from Oz.

I dont get the whole worn out look. Buy a new looking one and put your own wear on it. :)

I'm glad I bought my R8 in 2013. One of the best years for reissues and the price was reasonable. Won't be buying a new Gibson for awhile or maybe never. Hate the new specs. Glad I have my share of older ones.

Dude, Lee is so right about a) the hand gap and b) knowing the feel before it's plugged in. I rarely plug anything in, it's gotta pass the feel test first (oh my).

Why is the intro slowed down and the pitch lowered?

Not crazy about the rim bursts, the original cherry sunburst always looks gorgeous

looking forward to the day when i am go the store and pick my les paul.i could totally feel the feeling when they left the store. Inspirations.!

Thumbs up! Love you guys here in America!

does anybody here wanna buy me a les paul

Call it Strepsil, because it's lemon flavoured and heals the blues

Greetings from Memphis! Your videos never fail to entertain and inform....

I love my studio. More of a platform. Changed pickups...tuning keys,ect. Played a slash signature ,and loved it.

Watching an Andertons video, and an advert for GAK pops up...

I hear these same lame comments all the time "Gibson's are overrated, overpriced I would never pay that money etc" that's fine if you think like that but don't try and force your opinion apon other people. For me when I have a Les Paul I feel at home but that's me. Each to there own.

Congrats guys....great choices made by both of you! I saved for years and finally bought a 2013 Standard. it has the slim 60's profile neck I love. I think the new Gibsons are better than ever...mine is unbelievably expressive.

Most rewatchable KZfaq channel ever. April 2019

Damn 10,000$ on that 58 reissue makes rob's 3,000$ purchase look like peanuts

Can you tell lee to do videos explaining how he pulls these cool 50s licks? Cuz I really wanna learn how to play like that. :)

+Rob Chapman I am gonna make an assumption here. The guitar he is holding at 16:50 looks like the Melvin Franks relic model Custom shop which is basically the infamous Peter Green model given away later on to Gary Moore by the man himself. The guitar was involved in a car accident and got severely damaged, hence the replicated cracked at the top of the neck close to the headstock. Gary took it to a luthier and he glued it back together. Anyway, awesome instrument!

That little riff he starts at 14:18 is sick.

Lee, Congrats on your only Gibson Les Paul. Now maybe you'll get into Joe B's & Gary Moore licks a little more. I love Blues.

I was waiting for chappers to decide to buy a PRS the whole video.

Just bought a custom shop cherry red ES-355. It was so worth saving up and it’s the best guitar I’ve ever played.

14:25 - one of the best things I've ever heard you play there Rob. Lovely stuff.

Love the caps blues

Adventure videos are the best type.

Love watching you guys! Greetings from America:)

BTW. Sincerest congratulations on the 2 beautiful Les Paul's boys! Worth every penny.
