Check out Odyssey Guitars BC Canada…mid 70’s to 80’s
Atilla Guitars are also Odessey Guitars built on Granville St.in Vancouver Canada late 70’s/early 80’s.Atilla was the luthier….He died in a freak accident building these guitars in the basement of Iron Music .
I just came into an Attila bass. It sounds rad, but it’s super heavy. It has a single split-coil p pickup, it’s neck through, and it really sounds good, but I can’t find any info on it eaither. If you come up with anyhing, let me know.
I have an Attila electric Guitar can someone tell me about it how much is it worth I know the company went bankrupt but help please?

This popular thread has been given its own page : Hoyer 12 string
I also have a Hoyer 12 string from 1950’s/1960’s. I agree about the sound. It is great. I had mine set up by a very good luthier and it is certainly the best 12 string acoustic I ever played. My guitar has no electrics and the top has a crack under the scratch plate. Did you know Elvis Presley played one in the film ‘Calofornia Holiday’?
Rob
I have a hoyer 12 string, no electrics, with the same body shape as the Elvis one. I had it set up by a good luthier, with new machines. I acquired it in 1969, and it still sounds better than it has any right to! I think laminated construction isn’t a bad idea when dealing with those stresses. Eric
Are you interested in selling your guitar?
: I have an old I have an old concert size Hoyer 12 string, acustic electric that was originally purchased in Kassel Germany around 1965 for about US$200. It is not in the greatest shape because the ivory around the face is cracked all the way around. The electronics are pretty much useless. However, the action is lower (almost as low as my custom Jackson soloist pro) and the sound quality is better than anything I have ever played. I can’t find a 12-string that comes anywhere near it even with a US$3000 price tag. Does anybody know where I can find more information about this guitar. I think it is a hidden treasure but if no one else does, it is only because they have not played it yet. Low Low Action, No fret buzz, Full clear sound. Whoever made this guitar knew what they were doing.
I have an old Hoyer 12 string. I like the tone. Mine has no electrics. It is a heavy beast, so sitting down with it seems the best way to play it.
If you find any information about these guuitars please let me know. All I know so far is that they were made in Germany.

For sale. I received it in 1970. It is in very good condition. I’ll include photos in follow up if someone is interested in buying.
I have a 1969 Hoyer 12 string acoustic with original battered hard case, does anyone know what the value of this would be.
I have a Hoyer concert Guitar which I purchased in Goeppingen ,Germany in 1952 new. It in none-electric. The Guitar is black with a white inlay all around its edges, the scratch guard is white. I brought it with me to the States when I immigrated here in 1953. It has adorned the walls of my home for all these years. It has not been played for many years. I would like to sell it. I would like to have an idea as to it’s value, and find a interested party.
I had one circa 65 stolen from a locked room – the janitor I’m sure – best 12 I’ve ever played – wish I still had it – I used the insurance money for a 67 D-18 – but still wish I had the hoyer

I am looking for a Klira bass, 3/4 size solid body, sunburst with 2 pickups. Had one as a kid, would like to buy another.
I have inhareted a 1966 klira bass, I am doing research on it now to find out what it’s worth. Any Ideas? I might be interested in selling it as I play a more modern style of music. so it’s not practicle for me.
I assume it’s worth a fair amount since it’s a 1966 model. The date inside is hand writen "12-22-66" mean anything to anyone? also has letters "BHO" above it

I have a Hoyer guitar which looks something like a Gibson J200 which I bought in the 60,s new for about £70. It has a strange bridge arrangement with spring and rollers etc. I wonder if you know anything about it. Is the body rosewood? Could the inlays be real mother of pearl? The scratchplate appears to be tortoise- shell.Might you have any idea of its current value( it is reasonable condition)It has a narrow neck which makes it difficult to play.
Cheers, Peter
I have the same guitar – I think – also purchased in the 70’s
for 77 guineas from a local music shop. It is sort of a
small bodied jumbo with a brass bridge and pearl inlays in
a very narrow neck with low action. Great tone though. Not made
as a model anymore although the HJ 100 12 string from Hoyer
is very similar(www.hoyer-guitars.com).No idea of the value
but in excess of £500 GB pounds I would guess.Could be one of
the handmade models.I’ll do some digging and respond if I get
anything more.
I recently purchased a Hoyer telecast copy and absolutely LOVE IT! It is a really nice guitar that rivals any
fender I have ever played. However, I have had great difficulty finding out any information about the
guitar or the Hoyer company. Does anyone know anything about them or the serial number system they
use? I went to their site but it wasn’t much help. Thanks

I have a 1965 or 1966 6 string, 3 pickup, tremolo Klira. It is minus the Klira emblem and one of the tuning screws is missing the pinion gear. It has "bruise" on the end of the body which was there when it was purchased in Syracuse, N.Y. at a music store, otherwise it is in pretty good shape. It was bought new for me when I was 14. I just could not play it and gave up on it a year later. I still have it. It never saw a performance. It has been in its soft case for many years.

My Klira bass is painted vintage red from about 1959 to 1961 it has 2 pickups, short scale, rose wood neck, that is narrow, it has two white plastic levers for pickup configuration, two knobs for treble and bass and volume control. It has a tailpiece and looks just like a fender jag. style. I got it at a pawn shop for $40.00, but the original tuners were broken or missing, so know it has a brand new set of Schaller machine heads. This bass rocks!
And it sounds great on Jazz, and Blues. it trully has that vintage tone!!
The Klira "Arkansas" Electric 4 string bass, painted vintage from about 1965.

The original machines (tuners) were broken or missing, so now it has a brand new set of Schaller machine heads. This bass really has that 60’s sound

It has a tailpiece and the body shape is just like a Fender Jaguar. I purchased it at a pawn shop in Rome, New York for $40.00, un-assembled in a cardboard box. The original machines (tuners) were broken or missing, so now it has a brand new set of Schaller machine heads. This bass really has that 60’s sound and it sounds great for Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, and Surf Rock.(The Venture’s, **** Dale) It truly has that Rockin’ vintage tone!! Sometimes, you find rare treasures in out of the way places. This Bass is a rare and collectable German made instrument in the same vein as a Framus or Hofner. Great action, playability and workmanship are evident.One of a kind.
