This is a custom 2009 Chafin
Xalta Flat-Top guitar in the Trans Red finish. Please see all the pics
below. Chafin guitars are custom hand built instruments produced by
luthier Ben Chafin at his Tampa, Florida facility. Here's what he says,
"Chafin Custom Guitars is focused on making high quality electric
guitars and basses for discriminating players. I am proud to be a small
company. This allows me to be personally involved with every single
instrument and assures the highest level of quality while allowing each
instrument to be somewhat unique. At Chafin I am about people,
craftsmanship and commitment. Most of all, I am about building guitars
that rekindle the fire inside of you, the player. If you pick up and
play one of my instruments you will know what Chafin Custom Guitars is
all about. Every guitar is carefully made by hand." Features of this exceptional sounding instrument include a 1.5" thick
Mahogany body, Mahogany neck, beautiful 22 fret Lacewood fingerboard
with abalone dot inlays & jumbo frets, chrome Sperzel locking
tuners, TonePros AVT-II locking wraparound bridge, aluminum recessed
side jack, and ebony truss rod cover. I contacted Ben Chafin who stated
he used both Seymour Duncan and Lollar P-90 pickups in 2009 - these
appear to be Lollar, as they have an "L" marked on the back of both.
It's in near mint condition with just a few extremely light surface
scratches you have to turn in the light to see. It plays very well and
sounds awesome, like a custom shop Les Paul Special without the custom
shop price. A Les Paul style hardshell case is included. In short,
this is an American, hand-made, custom guitar built from top of the line
components and tone woods for under a thousand dollars. Thanks for
looking.
