Members stashman Posted August 2, 2009 Members Share Posted August 2, 2009 Here's a beautiful all handmade (no CNC) Chafin Helios made right here in Tampa by Ben Chafin (formerly of Dean Guitars). These guitars are custom made and very expensive, but this one is only $780. It has locking Grover tuners, and a Seymour Duncan minihum in the neck and full size humbucker by the bridge. The brass "sun" is called a "sonic bridge" that is said to aid in the sustain. The guitar has amazing quilting and a spectacular birdseye maple neck. It is in excellent condition, and I am only selling it because I have 2. It comes with the original Chafin hardshell case. It plays and sounds the way a $3000 custom guitar should. Shipping is $35 via Fedex ground with $100 insurance (in the CONUS), add another $10 to insure for the full price if you choose to. Plenty of good deals here, on TGP, and the bay. The next to last pic is Ben Chafin holding both my Helios. OK, here's the pics. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members olbluzman Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I owned that guitar originally I never should have sold it. Someday hopefully I will have a chance to get her back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
