Came here expecting to see a chapman

lol that was my guess too.

I think possibly the anti-Rob sentiment leaves them rated lower than they would otherwise be but the high quality of the guitars themselves forces begrudging acceptance of them.

How can a network technology hate a guitar?

Because it has robotic tuners.

I expected a Marlin Sidewinder.

So did I .

Or a 70s Woolworths Audition or something like that.

2015 Les Pauls are OK, if you want a wider neck... and you fit a proper nut that matches the width of them, ditch the robot tuners, and refinish the headstock.

Don't forget Chairman Les serenely waving on the back of the headstock too. On the plus side if and when you do take off the robotuners you'll have no problem selling them - I've sold a few sets on eBay and they always go quickly.

I don’t mind that actually, although I know some people do.

But I can’t stand the wide neck so it would never be a question for me anyway.
