  • Bea is a good dude, regardless of his reasons for leaving Chapman Guitars can only wish him the best. He's a great artist!
  • @jcugnoni
    Concerning Rabea leaving Chapman, I think it simply because he wants to be free to choose his gear and develop other affiliations as he feels it. He seem a really honest guy (and obviously an amazing player) and just want to move forward on his own path. There is nothing wrong nor dramatic with that.
  • @RNAMusic
    I have met Rabea several times. He’s a really nice dude and a killer player.
  • @ph0kused
    ever since the drama rob chapman created with some youtube beefs, the chapman brand seemed like it got stale, and Bea/Scallon just outgrew chapman... especially bea, he's probably more well known than the chapman brand at this point.
  • Happy New Year, Phil! Thanks for continuing to be a voice of reason and kindness in a world gone mad.
  • @svenben9868
    One of the reasons EVH left Musicman was due to Musicman not being able to keep up with demand. I remember EVH stating that he called several Musicman dealers to ask about his guitar possing as a interested fan. The dealer would tell him they were 6 months out from getting more or something to those lines.
  • @DimKAt21

  • Hey Phil, thanks for your dedication over the years. I receive my first tube amp tomorrow. I’m kind of excited because I’ve been playing for 18 years and have never owned one
