GUEST Info on clarissa guitars (58* d) RE: Info on clarissa guitars 14 Oct 18


I have a Clarissa guitar, bowl backed with the piezo electric saddle mounted pick up. It was bought new in 1985 for about £300.
I had the guitar set up and the action lowered by a guitar technician. It is still a lovely sounding and playable guitar. It has survived all kinds of abuse by my kids, baggage handlers, clumsy friends, everything. It really is a
User friendly and reliable guitar. I use it with a Seymour Duncan Woody pick up mounted in the sound hole. I had to replace the original saddle mount pick up the to clumsy airport handling but the replacement was only about £20 or so, so now I have both options. There are shims under the saddle that allow for adjusting the action quite a bit. It's worth tinkering with them if you know what you are doing. Hang on to it if you don't need to sell it. The shame of it all is that you won't get another guitar quite like it for the price you could sell it for.
