Introducing the Chapman SAR63 Semi Hollow signature model for Chris Robertson of Black Stone Cherry

This machine resonates with the bluesy fire unlike any other! it’s a powerhouse designed to rock the stage. Whether it’s bluesy bends or hard-hitting riffs, this guitar delivers it all with style. 

“The SAR63 is more than a guitar to me. while it is in fact an absoutley incredible instrument with amazing sonics, buttery playability and head turning looks, this guitar is a stunning tribute to my dad! he’s the reason I started playing guitar and that’s where the name comes from.

Working with the team at Chapman has been an absolute dream come true.”
