Charrisa T-style guitar demo
Переглядів 14414 днів тому
A bit of a mystery - the brand name Charrisa was never registered, and the guitar has features of three makers of the 1970s: Chushin, Sakai (both Japan) and Samick. The overall design was predominantly made by Sakai in the early 1970s, and the pickups used as well. But the neck plate indicates Samick, overall build rather Chushin.

    That headstock reminds me of my late Father's Peerless archtop- From the pics I've seen of when he first got it, it had a neck-mounted pickup like yours, along with a pickguard, though he removed both. I still play it, though I have ultra-light strings on it due to it not having a trussrod.

    • @theoldeuropeguitars
      @theoldeuropeguitars 2 місяці тому

      It will require a set up by a skilled guitar tech, while a modern Epiphone mostly can be enjoyed out of the box. But, depending on which era of Epiphones we are talking, build quality is better than a modern Chinese made Epiphone (but not better than a 1990s Korean made one). Please note that woods, pickups etc. are vastly different, so if you are looking for THE SG sound, the Epiphone will suit your needs better as it is closer to the original.

  • @goodun2974
    @goodun2974 2 місяці тому

    I am curious whether you've ever wax potted Teisco type pickups to minimize microphonics and feedback, and if the tone changed at all. With 4 pickups on this guitar I imagine it functions pretty well as a microphone 😉, and probably makes a good radio antenna for hum and buzz due to the complete lack of shielding.

Weirdest thing it actually IS a set neck telecaster ... I hope that neck angle is right or I'm in for an even worse job than I thought ... not looking forwards to a neck reset but I want to save this thing so I'll do everything I can. Dropped a short on my channel showing it if you'd like to see it.

      Hey, I watched the short - very interesting. But that neck/body junction looks like someone meddled with it. It looks like it was originally a bolt-on, but somebody glued it in, closed the holes and refinished the guitar. I'd be very surprised if this was original like that. Klira did make set neck LPs with a proper neck/body junction, so why would they do this like a glued in bolt-on construct? Keep me posted!

Hope that if that’s the case they used Posts so it can take tention or did it in a way that’s reversibele. I’ll find out when I open it up but I promised myself i’d finish the Eko 100/1 first, rewired it and worked fine when I tested it but must have messed up the tone cap up reinstalling everything back in trough the f hole because now I have 2 volumes instead of a volume and tone… I need a bridge first for the Klira anyway so there’s no hurry.

    Very nice! The guitar but the playing as well! These were made by the Roxy (Musima, Migma, Marma, Tromsa, Kings etc) company in the DDR right? Did you have to restore it? I'm currently negotiating a Klira Telecaster model with the same P90's as your guitar has. Set neck from what I could see in the pictures so that's interesting. It's a mess tho, missing the bridge, dirty, scratched everywhere, flat frets and I think either the pick guard or the control plate isn't original because the pick guard is square and the plate is round (and about an inch and a half short). But it looks like a fun project tho, if I can find that bridge I'll have that thing up and running in no time.

      Hi - no, these have nothing to do with East German companies like Musima, Migma etc. Klira was a West Germany manufacturer. TBH I have never seen a Klira Tele with a set neck - very likely it has a bolt-on like most other Klira 1970s models except for the LP copies. All Kliras will likely have to undergo extensive restoration as they are barely playable as "attic finds".
