Hey Dan, you’re more than welcome mate! It’s just a phenomenal instrument, I’m not surprised that such an awesome thing came from the mind of THE Dave 🙌 Thanks again man, have a good one!

Congratulations on the new guitar dude! I hope you love it and thanks for checking out the video 🤘

Cheers bro! It’s a section from an EP I’m working on so it means a lot that you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking it out man 🤘

For sure man, I love the way single cuts look but I know that usually I’d rather have something else. This one though solves all the big problems I have with them, it’s a damn shame they don’t get enough love. Thanks for checking it out bro 🤘

Thank you my dude, I’m really glad you liked it! 🤘

@@JackTaylorGuitars ❤️

From a looks perspective I love a single cut but I usually fall out with them over time. This one does such a good job of fixing all the stuff I don’t like! Awesome mate! How’s the project going?

@@JackTaylorGuitars I'll have to try one, but here in Mexico city area pretty hard to find The best part is that came loaded with SD pickups.. as I said in your parts caster Tom DeLonge video, I don't like active ones, but love Seymour Duncan ones. Take care pal, greetings from Mexico City.

The Solar ones do look awesome bro! No worries mate, thanks for checking out the video. I massively appreciate it 🤘

I also have 2 G series Solars: the Killertone (awesome!) and a GC1.6FAB that's also incredibile. I also have and love an LTD EC-256 that's another fantastic spin on modern LP (but Solar's neck is better)

@@marcoferrandi6191 i love the Solar necks. Did get the Killertone with FR ? Both are in my wish list and the FAB and thar other artist GC1.6 in tobacco burst or whatever it is. I want to get a couple of GC2.6 C’s and modify them. Unemployed due covid issues but Doctor says I can start looking for work now.

@@PeterMoore350 no I have the Killertone without Floyd Rose. I like it so much more for palm muting

@@marcoferrandi6191 cool i think that one is killer looking, pun intended !! Did you keep the string gauge or change it to something else.....fat E is 52 isn't it ?

I am 100% with you on that. The Gibson neck heel is absolute garbage. Chapman are doing it right imo. Thanks for watch mate! 🤘

Hey mate! Both ML2s are pretty warm sounding in comparison to the ML3 but the Pro has a fair bit more bite as a result of the pickups. I personally prefer the slightly punchier sound of the ML3 whereas the ML2s are definitely les paul-y sounding guitars. Probably a slightly more pronounced mid range. I hope that helps, cheers! 🤘

I'm with you on that dude! Oh yeah, I have thought about it and I'd love to! Thanks for watching man 🤘

I’ve a Solar GC1.6 T-FAB sadly no longer made and a GC1.6 FRC also no longer offered last time I checked. Both awesome guitars and I also have an E1.6 FBB with Evertune, an A1.6 FRC and an S1.6 FR QOB sadly no longer offered but easily the best guitar Ive ever played in my 50 years of playing. Funnily that one is on my lap this morning whilst I play and watch YT videos!! Cheers 😎🎸🤘

Think they are made in the same factory...Chapman and Solar. Basically...the same guitar 😊

@@christoguichard4311 i wouldn't say they are the same guitar - i'd have to checkout the ML2 at the local dealer to be sure. What i can confirm is Solar guitar's serial numbers start with IW if that helps..The ML2 in this vid looks like it's got a bigger belly carve than my Solars, neck joint "swoop" ? looks a little different to, but hey - happy to be corrected as i'd like to know !! Edit: Solar’s have a reverse headstock so there’s one difference 😂🤣

That’s cool man I’m glad you like it! The simple setup sounds pretty cool though dude, less to stress about. Cheers for watching mate 🤘

Hey bro, thanks so much! That means a lot, especially because that's a section of some solo music I'm putting out soon. The sounds you're hearing for guitar are Neural DSP. The lead tone is from Plini X and the rhythm guitars are the Fortin Cali Suite. Cheers man, hope that helps! 🤘

Thank you my dude! It’s funny you should say that, I feel like this guitar is like a cross between an eclipse and a PRS McCarty or something like that. Appreciate you watching bro 🤘

@@JackTaylorGuitars Oh really. Maybe I'll try one for myself one day then haha 🤟🏽

If you spot one dude you definitely should! Hope you’re well man 👊

I know right?! Has to be the nicest finish Chapman have right now! Thanks for checking it out dude, I appreciate it 🤘

100% man, it's got everything! Thanks for checking out the video dude 🤘

Stainless dude! Mentioned it in the spec rundown but I was worried it was a little too quickfire. Thanks for checking out the video mate, I appreciate it 🤘

@@JackTaylorGuitars yeah, I missed that part, went to Andertons website and saw it. Thanks for the reply!! Looks like a very nice guitar and sounds great, excellent specs! Wish the blue was still available though.

No worries dude! The black is nice but the blue is awesome. They’ll get them back soon I’m sure!

😂 It's a strange way to put it but I know what you mean. It's just a result of the scale length and balancing the guitar right from what I can tell but in the flesh it's really not something that I even notice. Thanks for checking it out anyway mate, I appreciate it 🤘

@@JackTaylorGuitars I believe you, it was great to see you enjoy it so much 🤘🏻

@@Sticky_Tea Thank you mate, that’s means a lot 🙇🏻‍♂️

Really?! That’s rough man! I have heard that it can be difficult getting some guitars in Aus though! I hope you enjoyed the video mate, thank you for being around 🤘

@@JackTaylorGuitars loved the video man, just made me want one even more 😬😅 honestly we’ve got an ok selection but most stuff is massively marked up, there’s also some stuff that doesn’t drop here at all or it drops with a massive delay 😕 also seems like most non custom instruments with pro level specs are being sold less and less too, only pro Chapmans I’ve found are ML1’s or ML3’s from a few years ago, we also only had one store with the Charvel Sean Long Sig and they sold out from preorders, no Chapman ghost frets (so far at least), there’s maybe 3 Ltd dealers in the whole country and only one has a halfway decent selection (Belfield Music in Sydney), basically the only brands you can really find consistently are Gibson, Fender and PRS, it’s surprisingly hard to find good guitars for metal without paying over $2000-$3000 😕 I’ve had my sights set on the Charvel So-Cal HT for a while because it’s one of the only guitars under $2000 with good specs for modern metal, peeped a couple of Jackson’s but for something I wouldn’t want to mod immediately I’d be looking at at least $2300 😕 sorry, think I ranted enough but the video was fkn sick dude, keep up the good work 🤘 if you’re reviewing a guitar I’m interested in I’ll definitely be watching, regardless of if it’s for sale down under or not 😅😬

Thank you my dude and no need to apologise man, I think they’re all totally valid complaints given the situation!

That would be pretty sick dude! Thanks for watching man 🤘

ALSO HOLY COW 🐄 😳! Jack you've been practicing your butt off. That was a super tasty solo! I don't suppose you've written out the tabs? :)

Hey dude! Thanks for checking it out man. So, I still love my Strandbergs a lot. In fact, they're a huge part of the reason I can play 'regular' guitars again. I still have issues and rely on my Strandbergs when I am but, for the most part, my arms are pretty good now. I wouldn't say that the Chapmans help my arms in any way but the necks are incredibly nice and I don't have any issues with them. They're just incredible guitars but they're not designed to fix anything I don't think. Cheers dude!

Oh and thanks dude! It's actually the main melody part from a track off the EP that I'm still working on. When it's out I'll be dropping a digital tab book and files, probably for free 👍

@JackTaylorGuitars It's inspiring to hear you're writing your own original EP ! I'm really excited for you and also looking forward to listening to it too! Will you be playing all the instruments and mixing it yourself? 🤔 I've tried to learn some of the riffs you wrote for other episodes and they were way too fast for my picking technique . However I'm sure I'll get to that level in the future! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I'm stoked for you and regardless of if it's hugely successful( fingers crossed with how bit your channel has grown that it will get a decent amount of interest!) I would buy the CD if there's one or the digital album. It's so worthwhile to pour your heart into music. And it's so healthy for you too because you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment too 👍 :😀.

@JackTaylorGuitars Ah I see , thanks for answering ! 😊 I agree that Strandberg has helped me a lot. Not only does it inspire me to play music that previously was too difficult but the neck does make playing a lot easier. For me, the Fishman pickups are amazing. I really do owe it to myself to try those seymour duncan sentient and pegasus pickups. And I want to get some bare knuckle pickups in one of my guitars to totally change the sound .but 😆 for the moment I'm really happy with what I have :). I'm really glad you're able to play normal guitars again, too! That guitar looks brilliant, it sounds amazing and if it makes you want to play guitar that is what matters! Anyway I hope you're doing well, dude !! 😊

100% dude! If nothing else, the amount of guitar you get for your money is absolutely unreal. Thanks for checking out the video man, hope you're well! 🤘

Thank you mate! I really appreciate you checking it out 🤘

Hideous is a super strong word dude! Like, I’d say nemesis from Resident Evil 3 is hideous 😂 I’m not saying you’re wrong to not like it though, it’s all taste. What is it that you don’t like about it? And thanks for watching mate I appreciate it 🤘

@@JackTaylorGuitars yeah maybe not hideous, but peculiar or bizarre. It just looks to me like they had a pre schooler draw a guitar from the mind and use that as a template for the cnc machines😅

@@RiloRox I get you dude! To me, it looks like a cross between a PRS McCarty/Tremonti and an ESP Eclipse. I guess there’s only so many things you can do with an established shape right?

Hey dude! Yeah, that’s been in the back of my mind cause I know you had a bad experience. Obviously like, all I can do is review what I’ve tried and if it’s good or bad I’ll make sure to tell folks! The string gauge are 10s on this bro, I usually play 9s but I wanted to try something else to see how they feel. I changed them dude, I always set new guitars up with D’addario XS. Picks wise bro, I actually have a video in the list that I think you’ll find super interesting! And I’m super glad you like the riff bro. It’s from one of the tracks on an EP I’m working on so it means a lot that you like it. Thank you as always my dude 🤘

@@JackTaylorGuitars Top stuff man, I’ll be sure to check that video out then. Looking forward to this spicy EP you’re working on, sure it’s gonna be great if it’s any thing like the rest of your original stuff you play.

Thank you my dude, that means a lot! It's only gonna be 3-4 songs but I'm on my way to having it finished. There'll be a free pdf tab book too if you wanted to jam along! 🙇🏻‍♂️

Yeah I think you’re right mate! They’re making some quality instruments. It’s got to be difficult for the players who think American made guitars are the best to come to terms with the fact that great guitars can come from elsewhere! Thanks for watching man 🤘

Yeah man specs and build quality are really good! Out of interest, is there anything in particular that puts you off the shape? I’m just curious. Thanks for watching dude! 🤘

Stainless frets, Seymour Duncan’s, hipshot locking tuners all on your Firefly?! Send me a link mate, I want one 🤘

They might make a great singlecut to some dude but they definitely don't make a good modern singlecut at all. It's cool if you like them though, no hate, but they're far too traditional for me and the neck heel and tune-o-matic bridge are not at all my thing. Thanks for watching mate, I appreciate it 🤘

😂😂😂😂...are you JOKING?!
