Haar Trad 59 Aged Tea Burst: The Ultimate Vintage Single-Cut Experience
The Legacy of Erik van de Haar
In the world of premium boutique electric guitars, Dutch luthier Erik van de Haar and his dedicated team in IJsselstein, Netherlands, have carved out an outstanding reputation. For decades, Haar Guitars has been crafting instruments that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the finest offerings from major American and European Custom Shops, yet they do so with an artisan's soul and exceptional value. Known for their meticulously aged finishes, exquisite tonewood selection, and supreme playability, every Haar guitar is a unique piece of functional art built to inspire. The Haar Trad 59 represents the absolute peak of this design philosophy. Drawing direct inspiration from the legendary single-cut guitar design of 1959, this instrument revives the sound, vibe, and structural integrity of rock and blues history for today's performing and recording guitarists.
Exquisite Tonewoods for Maximum Resonance
The tone of a legendary single-cut guitar begins with its core construction materials. This particular Trad 59 features a premium, lightweight, one-piece mahogany body. By avoiding multi-piece construction, the guitar offers seamless vibrational transfer, yielding massive natural sustain, warm low-mids, and an incredibly rich acoustic resonance. Atop this master-grade mahogany sits a gorgeous light-flamed maple top, finished in an iconic, nitrocellulose-lacquered Tea Burst. The entire body and neck have been tastefully aged by hand to simulate decades of professional play, giving it a comfortable, worn-in feel without looking overly relic'd. Coupled with a robust, historically-profiled '59 mahogany neck and a dark, premium Indian Rosewood fingerboard, this guitar looks as stunning as it sounds, providing a woody, immediate response that players of vintage instruments crave.
Modern Playability Meets Vintage Soul: Compound Fingerboard Radius
While the Haar Trad 59 feels and looks like a priceless vintage heirloom, its playability is optimized for the modern guitarist. Rather than utilizing a traditional, highly-rounded vintage radius, Erik van de Haar equipped this model with a compound radius fingerboard scaling from 11 inches to 12.5 inches. This progressive curvature means the fretboard is rounder near the nut for comfortable chord voicings and flatter in the higher registers for effortless lead lines, clean note bending, and lightning-fast action without fret buzzing. Adorned with 22 perfectly leveled and crowned Jescar 57110 frets, the neck offers an incredibly smooth tactile feel, letting your fingers glide effortlessly across the fretboard.
A Legendary Voice: Handwound Amber Pickups and Premium Circuitry
No expense was spared in selecting the perfect electronics to match the exceptional acoustic voice of this guitar. The Trad 59 is loaded with a calibrated set of handwound humbuckers from German boutique manufacturer Amber Pickups. In the neck position, the Amber Spirit 59 provides a warm, thick, and highly touch-sensitive tone. It excels at delivering clear, bell-like cleans and smooth, singing overdrive with great articulation. The bridge position is occupied by the Amber S-Tone 60, a pickup known for its muscular mid-range, rich harmonic content, and punchy attack. To ensure pure signal path integrity, the control cavity is wired with authentic Bumblebee capacitors and traditional gold bell knobs, allowing for a highly functional and responsive tone sweep that acts as a physical extension of your amplifier.
High-Performance Nickel Hardware
The hardware on the Haar Trad 59 is chosen for maximum durability, tuning stability, and acoustic energy transfer. It features classic nickel Gotoh SD90 tuners that offer a timeless look alongside exceptionally smooth gear action. The bridge is a high-grade ABM 2500 N, paired with an ultra-lightweight aluminum stoptail. This lightweight aluminum tailpiece drastically enhances resonance, transferring every ounce of string energy directly into the solid mahogany body. Whether you are laying down tracks in the recording studio or touring on stage, the Haar Trad 59 is a professional tool built to perform reliably night after night.
