Klira "Red river" 1970's.
Guitar with solid spruce top, fingerboard and rosewood bridge, sides and bottom, maple. Nacar inlays, metal tuners in one piece.
It has some really impressive bass sounds, it was built with great care and good materials. It is in very good condition and allows a perfect adjustment and tuning. X braced!
The pickguard has little raised at the tips, this is normal, by the contraction of the plastic material with which they are made and does not affect the sound at all.
Revised and adjusted!
Klira (Otto Johs. Klier GmbH) was a German manufacturer of string instruments, from 1887 to 1982. From the classical family of instruments for violin, the production range was extended with acoustic and electric guitars around 1950: s.
Klira was founded in 1887 by Johannes Klier in Schönbach, today Luby or Chebu in the Czech Republic. His son Otto Josef Klier took over the company in 1914. After World War II, the Klier family left the company in 1946. The company soon re-formed in the Franconian region in Bavaria, West Germany, in the city of Erlangen. This coincides in time and place with the founding of the company Framus by Fred Wilfer, also from Schönbach. In 1950, the Klira company was moved more permanently to Bubenreuth.
