Subject: RE: Info on clarissa guitars
I have a Clarissa which I purchased new from Bandland in Stockton on Tees. It cost about £240. It has a shallow bowl back and is in sunburst trim. From day one it has lived in a Hiscox flight case, has crossed the Atlantic a dozen times or more and has never come out of the case out of tune. It holds it's tuning immaculately . I now use it with a Seymour Duncan woody hard wired. It was refretted and set up a few years back and it still plays beautifully. If it was worth £50 or £500, I wouldn't part with it. It Is 28 years old, has a couple of chips and dinks in the body but still looks nice despite all of that . It would definitely be worth spending a little on a reliable and professional set up.
