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...

I finally got to try out a Baum Original Series Wingman!

  In this article I am going to give you a hands on review of the Baum Original Series Wingman, Leaper Tone and Conquer 59. On Sunday, I travelled up to Birmingham to visit the UK Guitar Show and I had a list of who I wanted to visit and which guitars to try out. At the top of that list was Baum Guitars.  Based out of Aarhus, Denmark, this small but mighty company is bringing something special to guitar players all over the world.  Initially a custom guitar builder producing guitars costing in excess of £3k, thus not being accessible to many guitar players who are not professional, they have been able to bring their unique designs to more affordable price points that means that more and more people can purchase their guitars. For me, I see that Baum are bringing fresh ideas to guitar design whilst celebrating retro finishes and touches a vision from designer Morten Bau. The video below from Andertons gives a great overview of the range that is available. Not everyon...
