A refined tool for players who value character as much as performance, the Novo Custom Shop Solus M1 invites you into a world where vintage inspiration meets modern craftsmanship. Built with intention and artistry, this instrument delivers a raw, expressive voice and a tactile playing experience that feels instantly familiar yet uniquely inspiring. Available right now at Haggerty’s Music, this Solus M1 embodies Novo’s philosophy of creating guitars that feel alive in your hands and respond to every nuance of your touch.

Rooted in classic design but elevated through boutique-level execution, this guitar features a tempered pine body paired with a tempered maple neck — woods that have been heat-treated to enhance resonance, stability, and a broken-in tonal character right out of the case. The result is a lightweight, highly resonant instrument with a woody, articulate voice that excels in everything from roots rock and blues to indie and alternative styles. The single Fralin Dogear P-90 in the bridge position delivers punchy mids, gritty overdrive, and dynamic responsiveness, making it a perfect choice for players who rely on touch and feel to shape their tone.

From its Mary Kaye White finish and light distressing to the amber headstock and Bakelite pickguard, every detail of this Solus M1 reflects a thoughtful balance of vintage vibe and modern reliability. The chunky “C” neck profile fills the hand comfortably, while the compound radius ensures smooth playability across the fretboard. Whether you’re chasing soulful cleans or snarling edge-of-breakup tones, this Novo offers a distinctive voice and personality that stands apart from the crowd.
