A small US chain became the primary dealer for Chapman guitars in the States and then spent a ton of money sending Chapman artists around in a bus doing clinics as part of brand promotions. When the big box stores approached Rob to stock Chapman instruments, he took them up in a heartbeat. The small chain could not compete with the big chains and went out of business. I suppose they were hoping to recoup enough money as the exclusive dealer that they didn't think about the future. Rob showed them no loyalty, but it didn't look like they had a contract to hold him to either. Money talks.
That's nasty.
The only thing I had against that guy was wasting Rabea's talent on Dorje
