A 60's department store called, they want their guitar back! This such a great example of the Dennis Fano vision - a melding of all the great builders and designs from the past mixed and matched and improved until you get something familiar but unique. This Serus J mixes the great offset of the mid-60's with those sweet department store relics of the past. Harmony Burst, masonite guard and Lollar Gold Foils, mixed a Mastery Bridge and Trem, with binding and moto dots to finish it off. A amazing example of the master at work.
The Serus J is the prototypical Novo - the most popular model and the one that defines what makes a Novo a Novo - ya know? The tempered pine body, the tempered maple neck, rosewood board, Mastery Bridge and Trem, and this one with killer Gold Foils. It's what offset dreams are made of, and you can't beat it in this style.

More About the Novo Guitars Serus Model
The Serus is the core of the Novo lineup - it was the first body shape Dennis Fano unleashed in 2015 and it has become a modern classic. Home to several of the most popular Novo models, it’s the best place to start diving into the wonderful beauty and tone of the brand. The Serus family features a plethora of offset dream machines, each one cooler than the last. Let’s dive in!
Typically, a Serus will feature a tempered pine body, tempered maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 25.5” scale length, 9.5”-14” radius, and a lightly distress finish. The SERUS J, the most popular of the Serus models, raised the bar for offsets with their killer Lollar P-90’s and Mastery Bridge and Trem. The SERUS T takes the T-style guitar and imbues it with Novo charm, featuring a Frailn Tele Bridge and custom P-45 neck pickup. The SERUS P2 and SERUS H2 are variations on the same theme - TOM and Stoptail, with your choice of Lollar P-90s or Fralin Pure-PAF hum buckers. Rounding out the lineup is the incomparable SERUS TC - featuring a chopped Tele bridge, chopped pick guard, and a killer set of those Fralin Pure-PAFs. There’s something in the Serus lineup for everyone!
