A 1960s German take on the Stratocaster by Klira


guitarz.blogspot.com:






This vintage 1960s S-type guitar from Klira in Germany is quite an oddity. It seems familiar yet alien at the same time what with the inclusion of features like Klira's own branded K pickups which visually have a P90-ish vibe to them plus the Jazzmaster-ish tremolo system. The Strat-style body appears to be of high quality with some very nice figuring to the timber beneath the sunburst finish.

The eBay.de listing refers to this guitar as a "Hammer Guitar" or "Hammer Gitarre" which makes little sense to me. I feel something is being lost in translation here. Currently listed with a &eurol449 Buy It Now price.
