Well it arrived and it's an absolute winner. Fender scale, three lipstick pickups with classic 5 way wiring and a master volume and tone. Moserite style "german carve" body contour and longer lower horn. A little blue-er than the pictutres I had, but with a nice yellowing from the 14 years it's spent on this earth. Not sure I'm going to put 11s on it yet. It's extremely slinky what with the flush to the body vintage strat style trem and the ever so slightly higher than normal roller nut height, and I'm digging the feel right out of the box with no setup changes! How rare is that!
I contacted chandler and the response was very brief. It went "Extremely rare. Very nice."

I was eyeing this one myself, but knew after buying my Sweptwing that I can't drop major coin on a guitar again for a while.
Sweeeeet score.

Just thought if any of y'all are envious of Badash's Challenger, there is one on ebay right now. It doesn't have the sweet blue finish, but is in black. Just go to ebay and you can get to it just by typing in "chandler mosrite".

Nice score, Badash!!! They got great reviews back when they
first came out. I'm a big fan of lipstick pickups.
