Novo Nucleus Serus J Dark Side Sparkle Dennis Signature

Novo Signature Serus J – Limited Run of 5 or 6, Signed by Dennis Fano

Introducing an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a piece of Novo history — the Signature Serus J, a meticulously crafted guitar from a limited run of just 5 or 6 pieces, each hand-signed and individually numbered by Dennis Fano himself.

Built in Nashville with Novo’s unmistakable attention to detail, this Serus J features a heavily figured tempered maple neck, left unpainted to showcase its natural beauty and feel. The Dark Side Sparkle finish on the tempered pine body is strikingly bold, perfectly paired with an aged pearloid pickguard and nickel hardware for a look that’s equal parts retro and modern.

Under the hood, you’ll find a trio of Novo Technicolor Foils by Lollar, delivering a wide palette of dynamic, articulate tones — rich in clarity yet full of character. With a Mastery bridge and OMV vibrato, the Serus J offers smooth playability and expressive control, while the 22-fret ebony fingerboard with MOTO block inlays provides the feel of a true performance instrument.

Other standout features include:

• Custom Daka-Ware Bakelite knobs
• Dark Side Sparkle peghead with parchment logo
• Natural back of neck finish for organic feel and resonance
• Stringjoy 10-48 strings for perfect tension and tone

Each guitar in this run is a unique collector-grade instrument — designed, signed, and certified by Dennis Fano, representing the pinnacle of Novo’s craft and spirit.
