Haar guitars Trad T #43672 - aged butterscotch

Dutch luthier Erik van de Haar has been building guitars since 1987. Through constant self-reflection and high standards, he has succeeded in establishing the Haar brand, whose reputation for excellence now extends far beyond the borders of his home country.
Erik van de Haar and his team produce Custom Shop-grade vintage-style instruments that are on par with American-made models.
Haar guitars are handcrafted from meticulously selected woods and components (the bodies and necks are “home-made” and not off-the-shelf Warmoth or Allparts parts; the pickups are Kloppmann, Lindy Fralin, Bare Knuckle, and the like). All instruments undergo Plek Machine procedures to ensure exceptional intonation and playability.

Inspired by a 1950s American model, this HAAR GUITAR Trad T #43669 features a “Swamp Ash” ash body, a solid quarter-sawn maple neck and fingerboard, and a pair of Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot AlNiCo 5 pickups.

Highly acclaimed by the world’s leading luthiers, Paulownia is poised to become a benchmark wood that, in the long run, is likely to replace ash.
Extremely lightweight, visually appealing, and a fast-growing species, Paulownia offers numerous advantages.
Stable and highly resonant, it produces an impressive volume. The bass is clear, the mids are moderate, and the highs are mellow. In short, it offers the best of both worlds—combining the qualities of ash and alder.
