Most of you will probably know that I played at Rob Chapman's guitar festival ''MonkeyFest'' at the beginning of July, and some of you may know that Rob owns a guitar company - Chapman Guitars. My set went down very well at MonkeyFest, and not long after I'd finished, Rob grabbed me, and offered me an artist deal with Chapman Guitars, which I'm very happy to say that I have accepted!

So I am now very happy to announce that I am a Chapman Guitars artist! My ML1 arrived at the end of last week, so hopefully I'll have some videos/recordings, etc, done by the middle of the week at the latest.

Cheesy promo shot with the new beast...

Yeah I made a bit of an arse of that didn't I? :facepalm:

Should've kept my gob shut in the shoutbox. I was going to wait until the video announcement was up, and the page on the CG site was up, but sod it, it's not doing any harm :smile:

Onwards upwards Lyle. Going to be a great pleasure 10years from now when us regulars look back to when things started to happen for you and we proudly see where you have got.

Mate... I am dead chuffed for you and, even though we are only virtual buddies... I am (in a sort of fatherly sort of way... LOL) dead proud as well! Ha!

Your parents must be well happy for you!

Thanks everybody! Needless to say, I'm well chuffed :mrgreen:

Got a strap, the guitar isn't just levitating :P

Easy to play without a lead too - just not very easy to be heard! :smile:
