The Novo Serus J Baritone is a striking blend of vintage inspiration and modern execution, designed for players seeking extended range and bold tonal character. Finished in a rich Lake Como Blue with extra light distressing, this baritone version of the beloved Serus J offers both visual elegance and sonic depth. Crafted from tempered pine for a resonant, lightweight body and paired with a tempered maple neck and East Indian rosewood fingerboard, the Serus J Baritone plays with the familiar comfort of a Novo while diving deep into new low-end territory with its 28” scale length.

At the heart of this build are a pair of Lollar Mini-Broiler pickups — known for their chime, bite, and midrange warmth. These pickups bring a unique flavor to the baritone platform, making this guitar perfect for anything from surf and indie to heavy alt-rock or cinematic post-rock. The Mastery M1 bridge and NV vibrato system ensure exceptional tuning stability and expressive vibrato control, even under the tension of heavier gauge strings.

Details like MOTO block inlays, a 3-ply mint pickguard, white neck binding, and the lightly aged chrome hardware add a premium and cohesive visual identity. Whether you're exploring new sonic textures or anchoring a mix with commanding low-end, the Serus J Baritone is a dynamic, boutique-built instrument ready for the stage, studio, or sonic experimentation. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this custom stunner ships with a sturdy softshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
