  The Klira Kentucky produces some great surf tones. Amp+Reverb=bliss!  Also recommend pairing it with your favorite vintage sounding fuzz pedal. This is a fine example of imported vintage rarity ! The bass is suitable for Beat, Garage, Punk and Blues Rock with its 60s typical shortscale growling.
Please see photos for details.

About: 
Klira, together with Höfner and Framus, was one of the leading electric guitars and bass producers in Europe. In the middle of the 1970s, Klira had to file for bankruptcy. Accordingly the instruments, which are comparatively small in size, are all rarely handmade in Germany. Look at the photos, as you can see with what attention to detail the instrument was built. The pick ups are also own production of Klira (to be recognized by the metal stamped crown, the trademark of Klira) and have a very own sound. For PUs from the 60s, they have an unusually high output. Klira has not only been working on the body shape at Fenders Jaguar and Jazzmaster at the Kentucky, but also at the PUs. They are quite reminiscent of soap bars of a Jazzmaster.
