and again the model name is unknown to me, this one plays very nice only the neck pickup is broken and the bridge pickup sounds way to sharp and bright to my likings.
i'm going to try to fix that one way or the other.
i know there is also a bass of this model i owned that last year and sold it on with a nice profit.
but can you tell me which model name this one has, and from which year?

Hi wieste,

I don't have a picture of this Klira so I can't be absolutely sure of the model. However, based on the model descriptions in Electro-Gitarren my first guess would be a 302 Kentucky made around 1967. The authors describe the Kentucky as having a "Jaguar" shape with 2 pickups and vibrato. I'd say your guitar fits that description. sb

thanks for the effort but it's no kentucky, i know this because i already own one.
this is a kentucky Image

ofcourse it's possible it's a earlier kentucky regarding that mine is from the early 70's but i doubt that.
but it's possible they have a lot in common only the scratchplate and stringtree are different.
