Hi joaoSgrunge.

Clarissa guitars were built in Italy. I have seen the brand associated with several different builders including:

Polverini Bros. Co
Oliverini Bros
C.L. Strumenti Musicali

This suggests to me that Clarissa was a distributors brand name and they sourced their guitars from different builders at different points in time.

From what I see, your guitar looks like an EKO Kadett from around 1967. It's likely Clarissa ordered your guitar from EKO and sold it under their brand name.



Jack at the Fetish Guitar site might be able to tell you more.

Ok, I just found what appears to be your exact guitar:



It appears Jack is uncertain about the origins of this guitar. You might email him and see if he has learned more about this guitar since he posted the pictures.

Let us know if you find additional information.
