Product Overview

The Newen TSA-036 RELIC (Model: NEW-GUI-ELE-TSA-036) is a high-character electric guitar that fuses the legendary ST-style silhouette with a specialized "aged" aesthetic. Handcrafted in Argentina, this model features a striking Blue finish over a solid White Oak body, treated with a relic process to mimic the look and feel of a vintage instrument that has spent decades on the road. It is designed for players who want a boutique, "road-worn" vibe combined with the unique resonance of South American tonewoods.

Product Description

• Solid White Oak (Patagonian Oak) Body: Unlike mass-produced guitars that use softer woods, the TSA-036 is built from solid White Oak. This high-density tonewood provides exceptional sustain, a punchy mid-range, and a "sweet" harmonic profile that allows the guitar to cut through any mix.

• The "Relic" Blue Aesthetic: The guitar features a beautiful Blue satin finish that has been intentionally distressed. This "Relic" treatment includes simulated wear patterns and aged hardware, giving the instrument a comfortable, broken-in feel and a unique, vintage-boutique appearance.

• Paradynamic® S/S/S Pickups: Equipped with three Simple Coil Paradinamic® pickups, this guitar delivers the classic "bell-like" chime and the famous "quack" in the in-between positions. These pickups are highly responsive to picking dynamics, making them perfect for blues, funk, and rock.

• Ergonomic Maple Neck: The Maple neck is carved into a comfortable "C" profile and features a smooth, non-sticky satin finish. The Rosewood fingerboard adds tonal warmth and provides a silky playing surface for technical leads.

• Stability Meets Vintage Soul: To ensure modern reliability, the neck includes a built-in steel core (truss rod) for maximum stability. The 6-point synchronized tremolo bridge and tuners are finished in Aged Chrome to complete the retro look while providing expressive vibrato control.

• Handcrafted Argentine Quality: Every Newen instrument is handcrafted in Argentina, ensuring that no two "Relic" guitars are exactly alike. This gives each TSA-036 its own individual grain texture and "wear" story.

Key Features

• Distressed Satin Finish: The blue tint over White Oak provides a "raw" and sophisticated look that resists fingerprints and feels great against the body.
