A little help? Klingsor? Klira? Isana?

[Mighty Fine Guitars]

What have I got here? The decal on the right side of the lower bout says "Klingsor," but I've got a vote or two for an Isana, and one for a Klira "Patricia." Anybody got a definitive ID?

Purty, though, isn't it?

Thanks, all.

It's a Klingon guitar, for use in Klingon opera.

Definitely West German, very probably a Klira, not Isana. Klingsor is likely the name of the reseller (esp. If the guitar was an export model).

For more info, look for the Klira thread on this forum:

Looks to be in good shape. How's it sound?
