Chapman Guitars is a guitar company established in 2009 by (Rob Chapman ), a guitarist best known for his success on YouTube.〔http://www.youtube.com/user/RobChappers〕 The company claims to be the first to design its guitars "collaboratively", and the design, features and specs of new models are selected by the votes of Chapman's YouTube subscribers in online polls on his website. Chapman used to manufacture their guitars in notably small, cheap production runs. The ML-1 was initially limited to a run of 500 guitars, although a second batch was produced when the factory which supplied Chapman offered more at a discounted price. The ML-2 was limited to 250 pieces. ==Production models== The company's first production guitar was the ML-1. In order to make the best guitar for the lowest initial outlay, Chapman chose a design philosophy by which any compromises would be reflected most in the parts which would be most likely and easily replaced later by the owner. Thus those components of the ML1 which were not so easily replaced could be of the very highest quality that the limited budget allowed; the ML-1 featured a solid mahogany stratocaster-style body, a maple neck and an ebony fingerboard but pickups (Chapman boasted on his YouTube channel) which the factory supplied for only 50 pence each. The ML-1's body and distinctive reverse-style headstock had a simple, cheap black finish. The ML1 was priced for the entry level market when it initially retailed for £299, but the second batch allowed its price to be reduced even further to £199. The ML-1's second batch suffered from further decrease quality control, with some customers complaining of sharp/unfinished fret work and generally poor craftsmanship. This deviation in quality control was a deciding factor for the manufacture of Chapman guitars to be moved to World Guitars, Korea. In 2013, Korean crafted ML-1s and ML-2s including a signature ML-1 for Rabea Massaad and Lee Anderton (the CAP-10) and the ML3-RC, a Telecaster shaped guitar began shipping.
