Novo Nucleus Idris S3 Amber

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 the Idris S3 model, a superb example of Novo's exciting Nucleus range.

Boasting a light distress finish, MannMade USA vibrato bridge, and a trio of Fralin Vintage Hot Strat pickups, the Idris S3 is a guitar that seamlessly blends nostalgia with modern playability.

The heart of the Novo Idris S3 lies in its trio of Fralin Vintage Hot Strat pickups. Renowned for delivering authentic vintage Strat tones, these pickups are the epitome of Lindy Fralin's dedication to crafting pickups that capture the essence of the golden era. The Vintage Hots provide a warm, balanced midrange with a delightful sparkle and clarity on the top end, ensuring that your Idris S3 sounds exactly as it should.

The MannMade USA vibrato bridge adds a touch of modern functionality to the Idris S3. Known for its smooth operation and tuning stability, this bridge allows for expressive vibrato while ensuring the guitar stays in tune even during vigorous playing.

The Novo Idris S3 is crafted for comfortable playability, featuring a medium 'C' neck carve, scale length of 25.5" and a nut width of 1.65". The tempered maple neck and rosewood fingerboard offer great stability.

Known for its resonance and lightweight properties, tempered pine contributes to a lively and dynamic sound, making each note come alive with clarity and warmth.

The Novo Idris S3 comes equipped with Stringjoy 10-48 strings, providing a balanced tension across the fretboard. A Deluxe Padded Gig Bag ensures that your Novo is protected on the go.
