A cool video with Rob Chapman and Brian Ball. Anyone play either of these two brands? I know very little about them, but I wonder how many other guitar brands have owners and executives that actually can jam and are passionate about guitars.

I have a friend who has a Music Man. He loves it. It's one of the higher end though.

Don't know much about either.

I know that in the past Music Man has made some high-end signature models. Maybe they still do.

I think Mr. Van Halen once played them.

Steve Lukather, Steve Morse and John Patrucci do.

A buddy of mine has an Ernie Ball Music Man. It's pretty awesome. I'd consider it, if I was into dropping 2k on a guitar.

It's probably worth bringing up that Rob Chapman has been a professional musician/YouTube personality for awhile and built of that empire before setting up Chapman guitars.

Yeah, I've been watching a lot of the "Chappers and the Captain" videos with Andertons Music. Entertaining stuff. They really have the youtube/self promotion thing down.

And the videos are at least fairly well done. I think you can make a determination on the gear that they are playing better than most other channels.
