The Novo Serus J is a standout example of how vintage inspiration and forward-thinking craftsmanship can coexist in perfect harmony. Built in Nashville by Dennis Fano and the team at Novo Guitars, the Serus J reflects a deep reverence for classic American bolt-on design, while pushing the envelope with modern tonewoods, superior hardware, and meticulous detail. This lightly aged, Purple Stranger-finished guitar blends custom-shop style with a raw, broken-in vibe that feels like an old friend the moment you plug in.

At the heart of this Serus J is a tempered pine body — light, resonant, and full of character — paired with a tempered maple neck and East Indian rosewood fingerboard for warmth and articulation. The compound radius (9.5"–14") fingerboard and Medium C neck profile offer a smooth, natural feel whether you're chording down low or bending up high. The Fralin P-90s deliver punchy, open tones with midrange grit and dynamic response, equally at home in garage rock, Americana, and post-punk. A Mastery bridge and NV vibrato system with lightning bolt arm ensure tuning stability and expressive control, making this a versatile workhorse with tons of personality.

Additional touches like the matching 6-in-a-row headstock, post-factory cream pickguard (with original gold plexi guard included), white witch hat knobs, and subtle relic job show off Novo’s boutique attention to detail. Whether you're looking to break out of the mold or add something truly special to your lineup, this used Serus J is ready for stage, studio, and anywhere your tone takes you. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this mint-condition boutique beauty ships with a sturdy softshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
