After years of navigating the trademark process, industry veteran and head luthier Ben Chafin acquired the rights to revive the legendary Electra Guitars brand. Inspired by the innovations the brand was recognized for, Chafin teamed with fellow industry icon Mick Donner to establish a guitar company that could not only deliver on price points, but also deliver newer innovations and performance at that price point. Combining their industry experience and ingenuity with the business leadership of CEO Gene Ymiolek, they have built a diverse line of guitars and basses with street prices in the $599 to $999 price range. “The new Electra Guitars are designed from the ground up by some of the best luthiers in the business. We believe they provide better quality, more tone, and outperformguitars and basses twice their price.”
