Novo Serus J Baritone Gold Top Gold

Seriously, How do Novo keep redefining perfection?

This time the classic Baritone voice has it's chance to shine under Dennis Fano's magical touch. Electric Baritones adorned many classic tunes in the 60's, infecting our minds and ears with lushious twang and deep, rich thumping lows.

Novo have decided to refresh their lineup, introducing refinements and some tasty extras to their already exceptional instruments. The former Select series has evolved into the fresh Nucleus series. This series proudly features the continued presence of the Idris, Serus, Solus, and Voltur models, along with the exciting addition of the Miris model to enrich the lineup. Immerse yourself in cutting-edge hardware, inventive designs, fresh pickup configurations, and a diverse array of exquisite finishes. Today, we take great pleasure in introducing a Limited Run Serus J "Baritone" model, a superb example of Novo's exciting Nucleus range.

The Novo Serus J Baritone is crafted from tempered pine, offering a unique tonal character that sets it apart from the crowd. This lightweight and resonant wood contribute to the guitar's overall tonal excellence. The neck, made from tempered maple, complements the body, providing stability and a smooth playing experience.

The Medium 'C' neck carve with a 28" scale length ensures a comfortable feel, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned players and those exploring the world of baritone guitars for the first time.

At the heart of the Novo Serus J Baritone are the Lollar "Mini Broiler" pickups, known for delivering the ultimate vintage "Jangle". While best known for its sparkly cleans, the Mini Broiler also sounds incredibly good with dirt on it, maintaining articulate note separation and clarity, even under higher gain overdrive and distortion, guaranteeing inspiration regardless of your preferred musical style. They are designed, built, and assembled in Virginia, USA, using 100% USA-made parts.

The Novo Serus J Baritone boasts a Novo/Mastery bridge and vibrato. Since 2007, Mastery have been setting the standard for stability, tuning accuracy, and smooth operation. This hardware allows players to confidently explore the expressive potential of the guitar.

Fitted with Stringjoy 14-68 strings, this guitar offers a balanced tension that suits a variety of playing styles. Whether you're bending notes or digging into aggressive riffs, these strings respond with precision and clarity.

To ensure the Novo Serus J Baritone is protected on the road, it comes with a Novo Deluxe Padded Gig Bag. This gig bag combines functionality with a touch of luxury, providing a secure and stylish means of transporting your prized guitar.

The Baritone is no longer a 'backing' instrument. Thanks to astonishing guitars players such as Joey Landreth, the Modern Baritone guitar "voice" has become front and centre in Gospel/Blues/Roots etc. It's just so incredibly inspiring - you'll be finding new ways to inspire yourself and others around you.
