Novo Solus M1 Custom - Burgundy Mist (Spec #9927)

German-Carved Singlecut Elegance & Unfiltered Lollar Dogear P-90 Punch

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present this custom-ordered Novo Solus M1 Custom in Burgundy Mist (Spec Sheet #9927). Handcrafted in Nashville, Tennessee by Dennis Fano and the master luthiers at Novo Guitars, the Solus M1 elevates the classic single-pickup, wraparound-bridge rock machine into a hyper-resonant boutique instrument sculpted with a signature German Carve top.

At the heart of this build is Novo’s acclaimed combination of a tempered pine body and a tempered maple neck. The thermal curing process removes moisture and crystallizes natural resins within the wood, giving the guitar the lightweight comfort, open acoustic resonance, and broken-in stability of a vintage heirloom. Built on a 24.75" scale length with a comfortable Medium C neck profile (.830"), 9.5"–14" compound-radius rosewood fingerboard, and Jescar medium nickel/silver frets, it offers slinky string tension and effortless upper-fret playability.

Electrically, the Solus M1 embraces pure tonal directness with a single bridge-position Lollar Dogear P-90 paired with a compensated wrapover bridge. With zero magnetic pull from a neck pickup and direct string-to-body vibration transfer, this configuration delivers ferocious midrange authority, harmonically rich overdrive, and remarkable clean articulation simply by rolling back your guitar’s volume control.

Key Performance Features:

• German-Carved Tempered Tonewoods: Tempered pine body featuring a sculpted German Carve paired with a tempered maple neck for lightweight balance and lively acoustic resonance.
• Lollar Dogear P-90 Pickup: Direct-mounted Lollar Dogear P-90 delivers raw, dynamic midrange punch, crisp note separation, and touch-sensitive amp response.
