Product Overview

The Newen TSA-031 RELIC (Model: NEW-GUI-ELE-TSA-031) is a masterfully crafted single-cutaway guitar that captures the rugged, "road-worn" essence of a vintage workhorse. Handcrafted in Argentina, this model features a deep Red Wood tint over a solid White Oak body, meticulously distressed to look like a legendary instrument that has spent decades on the stage. It combines the iconic "TL" bite with the organic resonance of native South American tonewoods, offering a boutique aesthetic and professional performance.

Product Description

• The "Relic" Red Wood Aesthetic: The TSA-031 stands out with its hand-distressed Red Wood finish. The aging process creates intentional wear patterns on high-friction areas of the body, revealing the raw texture of the Patagonian Oak beneath. This specialized satin-matte lacquer is non-sticky and tactile, providing a "broken-in" feel right out of the box.

• Solid White Oak (Patagonian Oak) Body: Unlike mass-produced guitars made from lighter, softer woods, the TSA-031 is built from solid White Oak. This high-density tonewood provides exceptional natural sustain, a punchy mid-range, and a distinctive percussive "snap" that is essential for the classic TL sound.

• Paradynamic® Single-Coil Pickups: Equipped with two Simple Coil Paradinamic® pickups, this guitar delivers the legendary "twang" and clarity. The bridge pickup provides a sharp, biting attack perfect for country and rock, while the neck pickup offers a warm, woody chime ideal for blues and jazz.

• Vintage Playability: The Maple neck is carved into a comfortable "C" profile and features a smooth, aged satin finish. The Rosewood fingerboard adds tonal warmth and features a 9.5" radius, making it comfortable for both rhythm chords and effortless string bending.

• Modern Stability, Retro Soul: While it looks like a vintage treasure, the internal engineering is modern. The neck includes a built-in steel core (truss rod) to ensure perfect alignment. The vintage-style 3-saddle TL bridge and hardware are finished in Aged Chrome to complete the retro look.

• Handcrafted Boutique Quality: Every Newen instrument is handcrafted in Argentina. This ensures that every TSA-031 Relic has its own unique character and grain pattern, making your guitar a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.
