How familiar is this group to Ben Chafin and his name on the Electra's now?

I hear there is now Electra ad's in some guitar mag's

I know he worked for Dean and then did his own thing. My friend has 3 of his guitars and I can personally say they are amazing guitars (although doing a side by side with my PRS SAS, we both agreed mine sounded better - but his looked better)

This is complete supposition on my part but if his quality remains high (as I have no reason to suspect otherwise) it is my belief that we can expect interest in the brand to increase.

Along with that level of renewed interest I will also surmise that interest and valuation of the original vintage models will follow.

Will he be attempting to recreate the MPC concept with up to date electronics is my question.

My good friend is selling 1 of his 3 Chafin's:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chafin-Volante- ... 43b06e8461

I set this guitar up recently, and cleaned it up myself and it is a great player, and sounds awesome. It has a regular size body unlike the big 335 semi's and is really like new. No fret wear at all.

Wish I could demo it in a way that really let's ya hear it.

If ya check his other items he also has a 3 pickup Ibanez Destroyer like the def leppard guy plays. I haven't played that one.

If anyone is interested- let me know. I know he says local pickup, but I would ship them for him.
