This Novo Custom Shop Solus M1 is a modern reinterpretation of a no-nonsense, single-pickup electric guitar — built for players who believe simplicity is a feature, not a limitation. Rooted in vintage student-model and early rock ’n’ roll designs, the Solus M1 strips things down to the essentials while refining every detail through Novo’s boutique craftsmanship. This Custom Shop guitar, finished in Nicotine Blonde with distressed aging, feels immediately familiar and broken-in, as if it’s already lived a lifetime of late nights, loud amps, and sweaty stages.

Its tempered pine body with a German carve delivers a lively, resonant response with plenty of acoustic character, while the tempered maple neck and East Indian rosewood fingerboard balance warmth with clarity. The shorter 24.75" scale length and Medium C neck profile make the Solus M1 exceptionally comfortable, inviting expressive bends, chunky rhythm work, and effortless vibrato. From blues and garage rock to punk, indie, and roots-driven alternative, this guitar thrives where feel and touch matter most.

At the heart of the Solus M1 is a single Fralin dogear P-90 in the bridge position — a pickup known for its raw immediacy, rich midrange grind, and dynamic response. Clean, it’s woody and articulate; pushed into overdrive, it snarls with authority while still cleaning up beautifully with your volume knob. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this easy-to-play Solus M1 isn’t about endless switching options — it’s about plugging in, turning up, and letting your hands do the talking.
