What is this, is it a Klira?

Must be a FASAN (made by Klira, but not sure). https://reverb.com/item/27780944-fasan- ... ge-germany

What I think: maybe the pickguard has been redone and I am also not sure about the vinyl cover, maybe restored.
Hoewever, it's cool looking and all should be well if it sounds as cool as it looks.

I don't see any reason to think the pickguard or covering might be non original- what makes you say that?


Here's a similar Klira with the same patterned covering, albeit in a different colour

Simply because I have never seen that pattern before and it looks almost too fresh and shiny, but I said that it‘s what I think and not that it‘s a fact. So seems like the vinyl covering is original. Wow! Still not sure about the
Pickguard but I am not an expert for old Klira guitars. It‘s a rare one for sure. Someone else here might be able to confirm.

Thank you for your answers, very helpful!
I just finnishe restoring the electronics, some one had just bypassed all switches, I also made the necessary adjustments and I must say it sounds really cool and has great playability!
I’m 99.9 % sure the vinyl is the original an about 90% sure the pickguard is too, I think it misses a volume pot thou

Here’s another one with the same pattern vinyl, it’s said to be a Klira, but here’s no logo on this one either

Great stuff, enjoy!

I haven't got my eye in with these, so I"m at the 'nothing would surprise me' stage This is beautiful

That's so cool, I'd have been suckered in by that no matter how it sounded or played!

looks like FASAN to me. The pickgurard is probably not stock but really old mod, not sure if they came with DIN connectors.

I don't have any reason to think the pickguard has been changed. The body covering isn't vinyl. It's celluloid.

That body so cool! I've been staring at the picture of the back for ages. Incredible!!

I think you are absolutely right

I agree, I really like it, and it’s a nice player
