The Novo Custom Serus J Baritone is a bold, expressive take on extended-range design, built for players who want deeper tuning without sacrificing feel or character. The Serus J platform brings Novo’s offset-inspired style into a baritone format, giving you that longer 28” scale length with a voice that’s rich, tight, and full of authority. The tempered pine body keeps things resonant and lively, adding a natural warmth that balances the added low-end depth beautifully.

In your hands, it feels immediately comfortable and familiar despite the extended scale. The tempered maple neck with a medium C profile offers a solid, supportive grip, while the compound radius rosewood fingerboard keeps everything feeling fluid and responsive across the entire neck. It’s a baritone that doesn’t fight you—it invites you in, whether you’re laying down heavy, low-tuned riffs or exploring more atmospheric textures.

The pair of Lollar Mini-Broiler pickups bring a unique voice to the instrument, delivering punchy, focused lows with a clear, articulate top end that keeps notes defined even under gain. Paired with the Mastery bridge and NV vibrato system, you get both rock-solid stability and the ability to add movement and expression, which is something you don’t often see on a baritone. It’s a setup that encourages creativity and expands what this kind of instrument can do.

Finished in a striking Root Beer Sparkle with a low gloss, lightly distressed treatment, this Custom Shop build has a look that’s as distinctive as its sound. The gold plexi pickguard and included extra black pickup rings give you options to tailor the aesthetic, while every detail reflects Novo’s commitment to handcrafted quality. Complete with a deluxe padded gig bag, this Serus J Baritone is a standout piece available now at Haggerty’s Music.
