So I picked up this Haar traditional t today. I got it at a very reasonable price secondhand, quite a steal actually. I’ve owned my fair share of teles, including an AV64, AV52, Vintage hot rod 52, some regular Avri 52’s and a highway one, which in the end just didn’t really do it for me (so I sold all of them). I did miss a good tele and stumbled upon this Haar. I had no experience with this Dutch brand but did some research and found that a lot of players have positive experiences.

So I took her home this morning, polished her up and restrung her with my favourite strings (Slinky’s). I played her for a few hours straight and instantly bonded with it. The guitar is built and finished very nicely and I personally really dig the aging. The guitar resonates like crazy, is lightweight and the Kloppmann pickups sound terrific. This guitar is in a league of its own and my previous teles, even though they weren’t bad guitars, just pale in comparison.

Have a nice weekend all!

Well done sir, enjoy your Haar! Beautiful finish and that neck has some crazy flames :) I own personally 3 Haars and all are keepers. I much prefer them over CS Fenders.

I tried two Haar Telecasters last year and one of them was really amazing. It had Amber pickups and sounded very transparent and resonant. Really liked the neck, too.
