Novo Serus J Custom - Olympic White (Spec #9925)

Classic Offset Styling Meets Lollar P-90 Punch & Tempered Tonewoods

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present this custom-ordered Novo Serus J Custom in Olympic White (Spec Sheet #9925). Handcrafted in Nashville, Tennessee by Dennis Fano and the master luthiers at Novo Guitars, the Serus J reimagines the classic offset solidbody silhouette into a lightweight, hyper-resonant instrument built for discerning players who demand vintage soul and modern precision.

At the core of this build is Novo’s signature pairing of a tempered pine body and a tempered maple neck. The thermal curing process removes moisture and crystallizes resins within the timber, giving the guitar the immediate acoustic liveliness, open resonance, and broken-in stability of a prized vintage instrument. Carved to a comfortable Medium C profile (.830") and topped with a rosewood fingerboard featuring a compound 9.5"–14" radius and Jescar medium nickel/silver frets, the neck feels effortless from open first-position chords to upper-register lead bends.

Electrically, this custom build is loaded with a pair of Lollar P-90 pickups dressed in cream covers—delivering unmistakable midrange bite, thick harmonic growl, and sparkling clean dynamics that respond immediately to pick attack and volume-knob adjustments. Anchored by a precision-machined Mastery M1 bridge and NV vibrato with a lightning bolt arm, this Serus J offers rock-solid tuning stability and fluid pitch expression.
