Product Overview
The Newen TSA-028 RELIC (Model: NEW-GUI-ELE-TSA-028) is a masterpiece of vintage aesthetics and modern Argentine craftsmanship. This "Relic" edition takes the iconic double-cutaway ST design and gives it a sophisticated Aged White finish, treated to look and feel like a legendary instrument that has seen decades of stage action. Handcrafted in Argentina using solid Patagonian Oak, this guitar is built for players who crave the soul, look, and "broken-in" feel of a vintage shop guitar without the astronomical price tag.
Product Description
The "Relic" Aesthetic: The TSA-028 stands out with its meticulously distressed White finish. It features intentional "wear and tear" patterns, slightly yellowed plastics, and aged hardware that mimic the character of a 1960s classic. The satin-matte lacquer is worn in key areas, making the guitar feel instantly familiar and comfortable to play.
Solid Patagonian Oak Body: At its core is a solid body of White Oak (Patagonian Oak). This native South American tonewood is highly regarded for its density, providing a punchy mid-range, crystal-clear highs, and a natural resonance that allows the guitar to sing even when unplugged.
Classic S/S/S Paradynamic® Tones: Equipped with three Simple Coil Paradinamic® pickups, this guitar delivers the definitive "ST" sound. You get the signature "quack" in positions 2 and 4, a biting lead tone at the bridge, and a warm, woody chime at the neck—perfect for blues, funk, rock, and pop.
Vintage Playability: The Maple neck features a comfortable "C" profile with a smooth, aged satin finish that prevents sticking. The Rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of warmth and smoothness to your playing, featuring a 9.5" radius for effortless string bending.
Modern Stability, Vintage Soul: While it looks old, its internal engineering is rock-solid. The neck includes a steel core (truss rod) to maintain perfect alignment, and the 6-point synchronized tremolo bridge (with an aged chrome finish) provides expressive vibrato while keeping your tuning stable.
Boutique Hand-Crafted Quality: Unlike mass-produced factory guitars, Newen instruments are handcrafted in Argentina. This ensures that every TSA-028 Relic has its own unique character and grain pattern, making your guitar one-of-a-kind.
