The Aire Relic represents the marriage of a vintage look with the features of a modern, high-performance instrument. The Relic look makes the Aire look like an instrument transported from the 1960s, but it is the details that make this instrument unique: 24-fret fingerboard, bridge humbucker with push pull for splitting the two coils. The body is made of Pawlonia (wood with characteristics approaching those of swamp ash) which gives great sound and lightness, the neck is made of Roasted Maple (American Rock Maple) and the 24-fret fingerboard is made of Eko WPC (Wood Polymers Composites). For the electronic part, the Aire Relic features Eko Vintage pickups with H-S-S configuration, volume control, 2 tones, 5-way switch and push-pull to split the bridge pickup, making this instrument versatile and thus suitable for all musical genres. The top of the fretboard is easily accessible thanks to the wide cutaway that characterises all Elements Aire models. The Aire Relic is available in the colours that have made guitar history: Daphne Blue, Fiesta Red and Sunburst. The pickguards of the Daphne Blue and Fiesta Red colours are in "Vintage Mint Green" like the instruments of the early 1960s; the pickguard for the Aire Relic Sunburst is the typical tortoise shell. The lived-in appeal of the Aire Relic is provided by the beautiful 'matt' Relic finish, which is slightly matt and satin.
