Product Overview

The Newen TSA-032 RELIC (Model: NEW-GUI-ELE-TSA-032) is the ultimate tribute to the raw, stripped-back spirit of the early "workhorse" electric guitars. Handcrafted in Argentina, this model celebrates the organic beauty of solid White Oak with a Natural finish that has been carefully distressed to achieve a "Relic" aesthetic. It looks, feels, and sounds like a vintage instrument that has spent years on the road, offering players a boutique, "broken-in" experience with the unique tonal resonance of Patagonian timber.

Product Description

• The "Relic" Natural Aesthetic: The TSA-032 features a specialized aging process applied directly to the Natural Wood body. By using a thin, satin-matte lacquer instead of a heavy gloss, the wood is allowed to breathe and vibrate freely. Intentional wear patterns and aged hardware give it a sophisticated, road-worn character that highlights the stunning organic grain of the oak.

• Solid Patagonian Oak Body: At the core of this guitar is solid White Oak (Patagonian Oak). This high-density tonewood is the secret to its massive sustain and percussive "snap." It provides a punchy, mid-range presence and crystal-clear highs that allow your playing to cut through any live or studio mix.

• Paradynamic® TL Tones: Equipped with two Simple Coil Paradinamic® pickups, this guitar delivers the definitive "twang" and "bite." The bridge pickup offers a sharp, clear attack perfect for country and rock, while the neck pickup provides a warm, woody chime ideal for blues, jazz, and indie.

• Vintage Playability: The Maple neck is carved into a comfortable "C" profile and features a smooth, aged satin finish that prevents your hand from sticking during fast playing. The Rosewood fingerboard adds a layer of tonal warmth and features a 9.5" radius, making it comfortable for both rhythm and lead work.

• Modern Reliability, Retro Heart: While it looks like a vintage museum piece, the internal construction is robust. A built-in steel core (truss rod) ensures the neck remains perfectly stable. The vintage-style 3-saddle TL bridge and tuners are finished in Aged Chrome for maximum style and reliable tuning.

• Handcrafted Argentine Heritage: Every Newen instrument is handcrafted, ensuring that no two "Relic" models are identical. Your TSA-032 will feature its own unique wood grain and hand-distressed markings, making it a truly one-of-a-kind instrument.
