Chapman SAR63 Chris Robertson Slate Black

Chapman SAR63 Chris Robertson Signature For Powerful Rock Sounds!

The Chapman SAR63 Chris Robertson is a modern signature electric guitar with a distinctive semi-hollow construction, resonant alder body, carved maple top with F-hole and a powerful HH pickup configuration. With a roasted maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 22 jumbo stainless steel frets, coil-split function, Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and Chapman Hipshot Style bridge, it offers a versatile platform for rock, blues, alternative and high-impact stage tones.

Chris Robertson Signature Character

Chris Robertson is the singer, guitarist and songwriter of Black Stone Cherry and represents a sound that blends Southern rock, blues feeling and modern grit. That exact mix shapes the SAR63: it reacts dynamically to picking and volume work, delivers punchy riffs as convincingly as singing lead lines, and stays organic, direct and stage-ready. The semi-hollow design, the powerful Wilkinson R Series humbuckers and the coil-split function mirror Robertson’s playing style: raw, expressive and versatile enough for bluesy bends, open chords and massive rock grooves.

Semi-Hollow Character With Direct Response

The alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation with clear definition, present mids and controlled bass. The carved maple top with F-hole adds lively resonance and an open acoustic note without sacrificing the stability and presence of a modern electric guitar. That makes the SAR63 suitable for dynamic rhythm work as well as expressive lead lines that cut through a band mix. The amber celluloid binding accents the contours in a classic way and underlines the instrument’s distinctive signature character.

Roasted Maple Neck and Rosewood Fretboard

The bolt-on roasted maple neck ensures stability, quick response and a pleasantly dry playing feel. The C-profile sits comfortably in the hand and supports strong chord work as well as controlled solo techniques. With a 25.5" scale, 13.78" fretboard radius and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets, the guitar is set up for precise playing. Bends, vibrato, riffs and fast changes are cleanly executed, while the rosewood fretboard offers a warm tactile feel and a rounded tonal complement. The Black TUSQ XL nut supports reliable tuning stability and even string guidance.

SAR63 Wilkinson R Series Humbuckers With Coil Split

The two SAR63 Wilkinson R Series humbuckers deliver a punchy, articulate sound with classic rock foundation and modern clarity. The bridge pickup with Alnico V magnet and 14.5K output offers powerful attack, tight low mids and strong presence for riffs, crunch and singing leads. The neck pickup with Alnico V magnet and 9.75K output provides warmer cleans, full overdrive lines and expressive solo voices. The 3-way toggle lets you call up the core sounds quickly, while the coil-split on the tone control adds extra tonal colors for slimmer, more transparent voices.

High-Quality Hardware For Reliable Performance

The Chapman Hipshot Style bridge ensures direct vibration transfer, solid sustain and a stable playing feel without a tremolo system. 6-in-line Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners enable fast string changes and support reliable tuning during intense stage work. A500K pots, a Sprague Orange Drop capacitor and a treble-bleed circuit keep the tone controllable and transparent even when rolling back the volume. The included softcase completes the package practically and makes the SAR63 a well-equipped signature guitar for players who want resonant semi-hollow qualities combined with modern rock performance.
