Product Overview

The Newen TSA-035 RELIC (Model: NEW-GUI-ELE-TSA-035) is a stunning tribute to the heritage of the electric guitar, reimagined with the raw power of South American tonewoods. This "Relic" edition takes the iconic double-cutaway ST design and applies a specialized aging process to its Red Wood finish. The result is an instrument that looks like a vintage treasure and feels like a guitar you've played for thirty years. Handcrafted in Argentina, it offers a "broken-in" comfort and a resonant, organic tone that mass-produced guitars simply cannot replicate.

Product Description

• The "Relic" Red Wood Aesthetic: The TSA-035 features a beautifully distressed Red Wood finish. The specialized satin lacquer is aged to highlight the deep grain of the Patagonian Oak, with intentional wear patterns that give the guitar a unique, road-hardened character. The finish is non-sticky and tactile, allowing the wood to vibrate more freely.

• Solid Patagonian Oak Body: Unlike standard guitars made from basswood or poplar, the TSA-035 is built from solid White Oak (Patagonian Oak). This choice of wood provides a much higher density, resulting in a punchy mid-range, sweet harmonics, and incredible natural sustain.

• Paradynamic® Single-Coil Pickups: Outfitted with three Simple Coil Paradinamic® pickups (S/S/S), this guitar delivers the legendary "quack" and "chime." These pickups are voiced to capture the nuance of your playing, from crystal-clear cleans to the gritty, overdriven "bite" of classic rock and blues.

• Aged Playability & Comfort: The Maple neck is carved into a comfortable "C" profile and features a smooth, satin-aged finish that eliminates hand friction. The Rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the tonal profile and provides a silky surface for complex chords and fast lead lines.

• Vintage Hardware with Modern Stability: To complete the look, the 6-point synchronized tremolo bridge and tuners feature an aged chrome finish. Internally, however, the guitar is modern: a steel core (truss rod) ensures the neck remains perfectly aligned under any climate conditions.

• Argentine Craftsmanship: Every Newen guitar is handcrafted in Argentina. This ensures a boutique level of attention to detail and a unique tonewood character that makes each TSA-035 Relic a one-of-a-kind instrument.

Key Features

• One-of-a-Kind Wear Patterns: No two TSA-035 guitars are identical; the hand-distressed process ensures your guitar has its own individual "story" and grain texture.

• 5-Position Tonal Versatility: Effortlessly switch between five pickup combinations for a massive range of sounds, from funky "in-between" positions to a powerful bridge-pickup growl.

• 22 Vintage Frets: Features 22 frets on a 9.5" radius fingerboard, offering modern playability with a classic vintage feel.

• Sustainable Choice: Built using native South American timber, providing a resonant and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional body woods.
