- 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...
- Klira "jaguar"-stye 1960s Vintage West German-made Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here's another Klira guitar for you, and it couldn't be more different than the example that Bertram posted on the blog yesterday. This particular Klira has obviously been modelled on the Fender Jaguar, but of course it is...
- Lindberg Semi-hollow Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com I know very little about Lindberg guitars - it was a German brand from the 1950s to the 1970s that didn't make their guitars but had them build by various luthiers in Germany and Japan (including Matsumoku)(note that it was not...
- Late 1970s Hopf Studio
guitarz.blogspot.com I love this horned little devil Hopf Studio, I always enjoy a SG line with slightly longer and thiner horns, it makes it look feral and elegant at the same time. Like most vintage Hopf solid body guitars, the Studio is poorly documented...
- Vintage Klira In Red Mosaic Finish
guitarz.blogspot.com Nothing exceptional here - just a good old cool vintage Klira in fancy finish, but I take the opportunity to remind some facts. First, about Klira: it was an underrated guitar brand from West-Germany that unfortunately left no online...

Klira Jazzmaster-like in bright orange finish
guitarz.blogspot.com
Now when you think of cheap guitar copies, the Stratocaster comes first - iconic and easy to build (compared to a Les Paul), but in the 1960s, the Jaguar / Jazzmaster was the most successful and copied design in the alternative electric guitar countries that were Japan, Italy and Germany.
And they were not just clones like nowadays, each had their own pickups and gear - and personality -, like this bright orange Klira (orange is the only solid colour I like). West-German guitar company Klira is unfortunately still poorly documented on the Internet, so this time again I cannot tell much more about this - let's hope than someone will one day put some archives on-line...
