Product Overview

The Newen TSA-033 RELIC (Model: NEW-GUI-ELE-TSA-033) is a masterfully aged single-cutaway guitar that captures the spirit of a vintage "Tele" legend. Handcrafted in Argentina, this model features a classic White finish that has been meticulously distressed to create a "Relic" aesthetic. By combining the iconic TL "bite" with the organic resonance of solid Patagonian Oak, Newen has created an instrument that feels like a lifelong companion from the moment you pick it up. It is the perfect choice for players who want boutique, road-worn style and professional performance without the custom-shop price tag.

Product Description

• The "Relic" White Aesthetic: The TSA-033 stands out with its hand-distressed White finish. The specialized satin-matte lacquer is aged to show intentional wear patterns, revealing hints of the solid wood underneath. This gives the guitar a "broken-in" feel—the neck is smooth and fast, and the body lacks the "sticky" feel of high-gloss modern finishes.

• Solid White Oak (Patagonian Oak) Body: Unlike standard mass-produced guitars, this model is built from solid White Oak. This high-density tonewood provides exceptional natural sustain and a punchy, well-defined frequency response. It delivers a rich, resonant foundation that allows every note to ring out with clarity.

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

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

• Modern Stability, Retro Heart: While it looks like a vintage relic, the internal engineering is rock-solid. The neck includes a built-in steel core (truss rod) to ensure perfect alignment. The vintage-style 3-saddle TL bridge and tuners are finished in Aged Chrome for maximum style and tuning stability.

• Handcrafted Boutique Quality: Every Newen instrument is handcrafted in Argentina. This ensures that no two TSA-033 Relic guitars have the exact same wear patterns, making your instrument a unique piece of functional art.
