Danish Pete Honore joins Chapman Guitars with the unveiling of the DPT1.

 

At the Guitar Show UK, Chapman Guitars announced a new addition to their signature artists, Peter Honoré.

Otherwise known as 'Danish Pete', Peter Honoré has long collaborated with Chapman Guitars co-founder Lee Anderton (aka The Captain) on the Anderton's YouTube channel, a place where Rob Chapman (the other co-owner of Chapman Guitars) also collaborated.

The birth of Chapman Guitars resulted from a novel approach to guitar design whereby the Andertons / Chapman Guitars social media community were consulted on what type of guitars should be build and to which specifications. In the six years that Chapman Guitars have been trading they have brought a refreshing take on guitar design, sales and distribution across the industry, taking styles of industry favourites and releasing their own novel guitars.

Followers of Rob Chapman will be aware of what an accomplished guitarist he is and his passion for heavy rock and shredding styles of playing guitar and with the addition of Danish Pete to the signature artists brings someone who is known for his mainstream blues / rock approach to playing.

With the announcement came the unveiling of Pete's signature guitar the 'DPT' a T Style guitar that is part of the 'Made In England' range of guitars, a range of luthier built 'custom shop' level of guitars.

At present no official specifications have been released other than it is a T-style guitar with electronics from Monty's Guitars (assuming these to be the DP51 pickup set).

Hands on comparison with the Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster and the Fender Player Standard Telecaster.

 I tried out two almost identical guitars from Fender in the same Butterscotch finish at PMT Cambridge.  The most significant difference between the two being the middle pick up on one of them.  Yes, I have had the opportunity to try out the Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster and compare it with the Fender Player Telecaster.  Is the Nashville going to be the obvious choice in terms of the better guitar just because it has more features and a higher price tag?  Let's see with this hands-on comparison. Setting the scene... In my home town we have only one guitar shop, PMT Cambridge.  They very kindly allowed me to try both of these guitars and the amp of choice was the Boss Katana set to edge of breakup. In my head I wanted to see if the simplicity of the standard telecaster won against the more feature rich Nashville.  It is an unfair comparison in this case as I am comparing the Player version of one with the higher spec Player Plus version of t...

The Vintage V6 Icon Full Review: Don't buy a Fender Stratocaster until you have tried this guitar!

  I was recently given the opportunity to try out a loan Vintage V6 Icon electric guitar.  Given that this is a cheap to mid priced guitar modelled on the Fender Stratocaster was I really going to fall in love with it? In this article I am going to share my thoughts on the Vintage V6 Icon after having played with it for for a few weeks.   I have jammed with this guitar... I have taken this guitar to band practise... ... and I have simply grabbed it throughout the day as I have worked from home.  By now I think I know it pretty well but would I recommend it and why? What were my initial impressions? My initial impressions were summed up in my first YouTube video about this guitar which can be seen below: Here are the specifications of the Vintage V6 Icon as lifted from the Vintage website... Vibrato: The Wilkinson WVC vibrato bridge featured on the Vintage V6 is a masterpiece of detail. Positive location, 6 screw design provides return to pitch accuracy; perpendi...

The Cort G290 fat II Review. Solid as a Rock Guitar.

  There are millions of S-Style guitars out there and the Cort G290 Fat ii is a mid range priced S-Style with a HH format that is a reliable workhorse guitar.  Read on to find out more. For those of you who come to my gigs. you will be familiar with The Druid aka my mate Andrew Keen.  Over this past year we have been avidly devouring guitar based videos and reviews and a couple of weeks ago I got a text from him saying that he had watched Darrell Braun's review of the Cort G290 Fat ii guitar. Years ago I had heard that Cort had a reputation for poor workmanship but I had no experience of them until I purchased my PRS SE Starla which of course is made for PRS under license by Cort.  The workmanship on the Starla was amazing so when Drew texted me to say that he had watched the above video and then placed an order on impulse, I knew it had to be good and I couldn't wait to get my hands on one. The Cort G290 ii: What did I think? Drew brought his guitar round last Frid...
