Chapman Guitars is a guitar company established in 2009 by Rob Chapman, a guitarist best known for his videos on YouTube.[2] The company claims to be the first to design its guitars "collaboratively". The design, features, and specs of new models are selected by public votes in online polls on their website.[3]

History

The ML-2 was limited to 250 pieces.[4]

The ML-1 featured a solid mahogany Fender Stratocaster-style body, a maple neck and an ebony fingerboard. The ML-1's body and distinctive reverse-style head-stock had a simple, satin black finish. The ML-1 was priced for the entry level market when it initially retailed for £299, the second batch price reduced to £199.
