This Haar Traditional T '72 is no exception.

**About Haar Guitars:** (translated from Dutch)
>"Superb playability. Excellent value for money. Tone from thick E to thin E.
>
>Erik van de Haar is certainly a prime example of how refined and exceptional traditional guitar designs in the top segment can be when they are crafted by hand in Europe from start to finish. The instruments are entirely made in the Netherlands, without any outsourcing of necks or body parts. This allows all components to be perfectly matched from the ground up. It's no wonder that Eric van der Haar has earned an excellent reputation for his meticulous craftsmanship using high-quality woods.
>
>Erik has been building guitars since 1987. As a former timber buyer/seller, this has led to extensive knowledge of various types of wood - from timber merchant to becoming a woodworker. Since 1998 all guitars have been produced entirely in-house. For years, we've used the finest tools available, resulting in a perfect setup, excellent hardware options from renowned brands, and an aesthetically customized "new" or "old" look according to your preference.
>
>We offer a 100% guarantee that every guitar bearing our logo is produced in-house. Traditional craftsmanship from our own soil: “Made in the Netherlands”. Loved by professional guitarists and amateurs."
