The British Standard Series is something new for Chapman Guitars. These will be build in very small numbers in England, as compared to the rest of their guitars which are built in Korea. Will have to wait a bit for the Winter NAMM show to find out the cost of these beautiful guitars.

you must be seeing Korean made ones -- the Brit ones look rather "spendy" to me--

My main work guitar is a $750.00 Gibson Les Paul 50's Tribute. #2 is a $750.00 Gibson SG T Series. Both are basically entry level Gibson's, but both are the big neck models which i prefer.
I've played more expensive guitars, most recently, a $10,000 PRS Artist Series, but it didn't feel better in my hands and it didn't have the same "punch" as my 2016 Gibson Les Paul does. The fretwork wasn't any better...and I didn't play any better, despite an extra fret or two.
I guess that's why I stay conservative - I just don't find any guitars that I want because they don't give me what my two Gibson's do...
But I'm also a solid one-woman guy too...
