Haar guitars Trad JM 2S FRALIN #43593 - aged 3 tone sunburst

Dutch luthier Erik van de Haar has been building guitars since 1987. By dint of questioning and exacting standards, he has succeeded in establishing the Haar brand, whose reputation for excellence now extends far beyond the borders of his native country. Erik van de Haar and his team produce vintage-style Custom Shop grade instruments that have nothing to envy of American production.
Haar guitars are handcrafted from carefully selected woods and components (bodies and necks are home-made, not Warmoth or Allparts parts, pickups are Kloppmann, Lindy Fralin, Bare Knuckle and others). All instruments undergo Plek Machine procedures for outstanding intonation and playing comfort. 1950s-inspired models feature Ash bodies and all-Maple necks, while Sixties-inspired guitars have Alder bodies with Maple necks and Rosewood fretboards.

This HAAR GUITAR Trad JM #43593 features a one-piece Ash "Swamp Ash" body, a quarter-sawn Maple neck, a Madagascar Rosewood fingerboard and a duo of Fralin pickups. Madagascar Rosewood has acoustic and visual characteristics similar to those of the iconic Brazilian Rosewood. Its clear highs, explosive midrange and rich, defined bass are unanimously appreciated by the most uncompromising musicians.
For environmental reasons (rarefaction of the species) and legal reasons (many dealers are unable to justify the origin of their stock), it has become extremely difficult to find instruments made with this species.
