I offer here a Haar Guitars Traditional FB from 2019, a handmade Custom Firebird model from the Dutch noble guitar forge of Eric van de Haar with extremely resonant one-piece offset corina body, sanded Quartersawn maple neck with "C" neck profile, noble Indian Rosewood fingerboard with white dot position inlays, super hot TV Jones Super'Tron humbucker pickup set incl. Push/Pull Coil Split option as well as Nickel Tune-o-Matic bridge with Aluminum Stoptail Piece in an authentically aged Heavy Relic Pelham Blue finish with black pickguard and Aged Nickel hardware in mint condition including Haar Soft Case, certificate and professional setup with 10 gauge Ernie Ball strings.
Under the Haar Guitars label, Eric van de Haar has been hand-building custom guitars since 1987. Today, these guitars are among the most sought-after European instruments around and are played by musicians all over the world. Haar Guitars combines the best in hardware and woods with a way of building guitars that takes great care of detail, creating instruments that visually, tonally and playably rival even many an American custom store model.
And this Haar Custom Firebird is no exception: it comes in a great Heavy Relic Pelham Blue finish, sanded Quartersawn Maple neck and Aged Nickel hardware in such a uniquely fancy appearance, but gives off an unmistakable vintage vibe right off the bat.
Due to the one-piece Korina body, the instrument resonates audibly from the first note already acoustically incredible and at the latest when you have her plugged in, you need a moment to collect from the sheer load of hot-wire twang. This is ensured by a first-class humbucker set consisting of two TV Jones Super'Tron pickups, which elicit from the guitar not only a pleasantly clear acoustic tone, but also distorted powerful-midrange sounds peppered with plenty of twang. No matter if rhythm or lead - this guitar leaves nothing to be desired.
A sound sample of a Haar Firdbird (only in a different version) can be found at the end of the photo gallery above.
With the factory sanded (part of the aging) medium "C" Quartersawn maple neck, the guitar is very comfortable in the hand and feels extremely valuable with the direct contact to the wood.
So if you're looking for a truly special custom shop-level Firebird (and don't want to take the instrument off your hands), this is it!
